The area has been nicknamed for several decades "the Sandpile." In the foreground of the image, the buildings from left to right are River Yacht & Racquet Club Condominiums, the Courtyard by Mariott Hotel, which was originally known as Holiday Inn Riverfront, and the Plaza Del Rio Office Center, all of which opened in the mid-1980s. To the far left of the image just past the Green Bridge are the Twin Dolphin Marina and the 1927 Memorial Pier, which originally housed the Bradenton Chamber of Commerce and is now home to Pier 22 restaurant. The bridge pictured at center is the 2nd Green Bridge, which was built in 1986 to replace the older 1927 bridge. This postcard is courtesy of Manatee County Historical Records Library
