📍Phillips' Bathing Beach, c. 1920s

"When its August in the city and I'm longing to be free,
My electric fan keeps humming, and seems to talk to me
As if I'd need reminding of where I'd rather be.
My thoughts are in Virginia, and I'm straining at the leach.
For I want to go in swimming down at Phillips' Bathing Beach..."
