Book Synopsis Shadows in the Sunshine by : Brandy Stark
Download or read book Shadows in the Sunshine written by Brandy Stark and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Petersburg is known as the Sunshine City. But, where there is sun, there are shadows. This book, which accompanies several local pop-up ghost tours produced by the SPIRITS of St. Petersburg, LLC, and St. Petersburg Paranormal Investigation, LLC, attempts to hone in on the lesser known ghost stories of our area. This volume takes a look at three historic haunted locations in Pinellas County. The first is Patty and Friends Antiques Mall found in the business district of 9th Street North (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Street North). The store is housed in two converted apartment buildings constructed in 1915 and 1920. Inside, we find the enigmatic Tinkerer, a ghost whose presence makes a room go chilly. Upstairs is the Seamstress, an overworked woman with an eye for fashion. The third presence is nicknamed the Protector and appears as a dapper man in a seersucker suit who watches over the store. Next, visit the Suntan Art Center housed in the historic Don Vista building on St. Pete Beach. Thomas Rowe, who may be one of the spirits still residing within, once lived here while the Don Ce-Sar was under construction. Upstairs is the Hostess, a lovely woman who enjoys music, dancing, and the art shows produced by the artists of the Suntan Art Center. Finally, there is the Running Man who moves at a frantic pace through the building, constantly worried about his paperwork (there is some speculation that this may be the unsettled spirit of Mr. Rowe, himself). The last stop is the Palladium, a building converted from a church to a theater. Here is the enigmatic Lady in Red walks through the Queen's Promenade and watches the performances within.Join us for the lesser known stories illustrating the marvelous history of St. Petersburg and her residents -- then and now.
Book Synopsis Backroads of Paradise by : Cathy Salustri
Download or read book Backroads of Paradise written by Cathy Salustri and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project sent mostly anonymous writers, but also Zora Neale Hurston and Stetson Kennedy, into the depths of Florida to reveal its splendor to the world. The FWP and the State of Florida jointly published the results as Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, which included twenty-two driving tours of the state's main roads. Eventually, after Eisenhower built the interstates, drivers bypassed the small towns that thrived along these roads in favor of making better time. Those main roads are now the state's backroads—forgotten by all but local residents, a few commuters, and dedicated road-trippers. Retracing the original routes in the Guide, Cathy Salustri rekindles our notions of paradise by bringing a modern eye to the historic travelogues. Salustri's 5,000-mile road trip reveals a patchwork quilt of Florida cultures: startling pockets of history and environmental bliss stitched against the blight of strip malls and franchise restaurants. The journey begins on US 98, heading west toward the Florida/Alabama state line, where coastal towns dot the roadway. Here, locals depend on the tourism industry, spurred by sugar sand beaches, as well as the abundance of local seafood. On US 41, Salustri takes us past the state's only whitewater rapids, a retired carnie town, and a dazzling array of springs, swamps, and rivers interspersed with farms that produce a bounty of fruit. Along US 17, she stops for milkshakes and hamburgers at Florida's oldest diner and visits a collection of springs interconnected by underwater mazes tumbling through white spongy limestone, before stopping in Arcadia, where men still bring cattle to auction. Desperately searching for skunk apes, the Sunshine State's version of Bigfoot, she encounters more than one gator on her way through the Everglades, Ochopee, and the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters. Following the original Guide, Salustri crisscrosses the state from the panhandle to the Keys. She guides readers through forgotten and unknown corners of the state--nude beaches, a rattlesnake cannery, Devil's Millhopper in Gainesville--as well as more familiar haunts--Kennedy Space Center and The Villages, "Florida’s Friendliest Retirement Hometown." Woven through these journeys are nuggets of history, environmental debates about Florida's future, and a narrative that combines humor with a strong affection for an oft-maligned state. Today, Salustri urges, tourists need a new nudge to get off the interstates or away from Disney in order to discover the real Florida. Her travel narrative, following what are now backroads and scenic routes, guides armchair travelers and road warriors alike to historic sites, natural wonders, and notable man-made attractions--comparing the past views with the present landscape and commenting on the changes, some barely noticeable, others extreme, along the way.

Download or read book St. Petersburg written by R. Wayne Ayers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s, St. Petersburg, located on Florida's sunny Gulf Coast, was a place where dreams came true, where fortunes were won, and where thousands came to bask in the city's golden glow. "The Sunshine City" became its nickname and the advertising mantra that helped catapult St. Petersburg from a sleepy backwater of Tampa and a struggling rail stop to one of the nation's most popular tourist destinations. By the 1920s--often referred to as Florida's boom era--St. Petersburg saw fast and furious growth as the city's most significant institutions, buildings, and attractions came into being. Developers and promoters lured countless settlers and tourists from across the country by touting the city's many virtues and its perpetual sunshine. Almost overnight, St. Petersburg was transformed into a popular tourist mecca with a bustling downtown and waterfront, picturesque residential neighborhoods, lush parks and gardens, and the all the attractions of the day. This fascinating time was documented in both word and image by visitors, new residents, and the energetic players that made St. Petersburg boom.
