Jimbo's Shrimp Shack - The Documentary
The Miami Pioneers and Natives of Dade are pleased to present an enlightening and entertaining program about the history of a somewhat infamous South Florida location on Virginia Key — Jimbo's Shrimp Shack. Gone, but not forgotten, this iconic shrimp shack location -- hidden in plain sight at the end of the road on Virginia Key -- was ostensibly a simple place for fishermen to buy live shrimp bait, but it was so much more. To the regular customers, it was a place to buy smoked fish and cold beer, play bocce ball and relax aside a beautiful natural lagoon. To the movie, television and photography industries, it was an authentic outdoor set that mimicked an island fishing village. To the gregarious proprietor James "Jimbo" Luznar, it was a family business that attracted a cast of interesting characters, and a place to host friends and neighbors apart from the hustle-bustle of Greater Miami. Get details online.
