Florida Real Estate Past

This ad for Bayshore Gardens, located on the Tamiami Trail, is scanned from a playbill, circa 1956. The community appears to still be going strong and remains comparatively affordable.

Damn...

...I sure miss being above the middle of Tampa Bay with a soft sunset light like this bouncing off the Gandy/Friendship Trail Bridges.

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.
