Some From 2008 That Didn't Make It

A no-flash shot of the old MFA in St. Pete, before the museum's new wing debuted.

Stairway to Foreclosure at Baywalk.

Someone in downtown Tampa evidently didn't like the fact that they were ticketed, and made their displeasure known by depositing the offending item in this planter.

On this day last summer, I only had a phone camera available to shoot the three-story Hurricane Restaurant draped under this yellow-and-blue-striped termite tent.

Cargo Load

Luggage loading on a cruise ship, docked at Channelside.

And a good illustration of why that purple luggage set was purchased in the first place.

NFW!

Way!

Allendale Terrace

These adobe-style structures are on 38th Avenue N, between Haines Road and MLK Street. The avenue runs through the Allendale Terrace neighborhood, a high-ground section of St. Petersburg with large estate homes built in the 1920s and 1930s.

Bonus Fun Fact: the link above to the city's website reveals that before the currently-named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street N was Ninth Street, it was known as "Euclid Boulevard".

Kitch-end.

It's no longer news that the Kitchen on Central Avenue closed down. So, for documentary purposes, here's a Kitchen menu. As with the other photos here, click to enlarge.
