Man, this picture of the papaya grove house looks just like a house right down the road from me in Magnolia Hieghts. I wonder if it is? like around 34th Ave and about 14 St. We do have tons of papayas growing around here too... Cool Picture;)

Hey Andie, I got lots of feedback through various channels about the photos-- the local history of this area is scattered around the nation, kind of like the archaeological treasures of some colonized nation, and people love to see it.
I subscribe to found photo blogs, partially in memory of the time that I was a found photo collector back when I lived on the Upper Left Coast and felt like I was reconstructing family histories with my hoardings-- oh yeah, it's fascinating stuff!
Thanks for your photos, and if you find anything more that Floridians might enjoy, I'd sure love to help draw attention to them! By the way, a good 38% percent of all simple Midwestern girls end up in Florida, so think of giant flying cockroaches and tremble. You have been warned.

Bonjour! Just came across your site with my photos via random googling. I am Vieilles_Annonces and yeah, I AM simply a midwestern girl, well, woman who has a stressful career. I started my collections as a hobby to "take the edge off," if you will. But, I wanted to write to say, yes, there ARE simple Midwestern girls who just wish to share their hobby with others - ok, share their obsession with others. As for the St Pete photos, I'm just going on slide notes. Don't know how accurate they are after all this time.

What a great scene; wait until you see the whole film!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think I'll do an edit on the post to indicate your suspicions. Nobody has been able to verify either of those two shots. Thanks!

Great shots -- but I'm thinking that the second two aren't St. Pete. I'm a second generation St. Pete resident and don't remember having a Burdines in town until it replaced Maas Brothers. Nor does that street scene have any familiar landmarks... wonder if those aren't Miami?

Thanks, Tommy--- I think the Orlando group less than active at this time...
I think the core kind of has to be a bunch of unholy Linux hippies with
messianic propensities. With some square footage. And maybe a van or truck.
And a grant writer... yeah...
Spare parts I don't need... I could open my own thrift store at this point.

Looks like someone is starting one in Orlando... http://freegeekcentralflorida.org/

Also, take a look at Computer Mentors - not quite the same thing, but a pretty good program, nonetheless.

None of this is helping you get spare parts.

Thanks Caleb, as always your support is invaluable. A couple of my plein air students are signed up for the workshop because they know that studio painting enhances outdoor painting and vice-versa.
