A quiet day at Knology Park in Dunedin. Once called Dunedin Stadium, Knology Park replaced the very old Grant Field, which dated back to 1930, according to Ballpark Digest. Now it is home to both the Toronto Blue Jays spring training camp AND the Dunedin Blue Jays!

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 4

Click for larger picture in a new window

Did I mention the whole golf thing going on? It was the neatest thing. They had this mini driving range net setup, and the man in the knickers was cracking the stuffing out of those golf balls with oak handled clubs! How cool! Look beyond the action and you will see how close the hotel is to the water. The golf demonstration was setup right out on the front lawn.

Although I did not get the name of the Roaring Twenties Golfer, I did get to meet the man watching him. That is Devin Marks, Director of Reclaiming Our Heritage. It's a rather interesting organization, which developed the Florida Heritage Celebration, as I understand it. Click the names for more information.

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 3

It was such a glamorous evening! Did I mention the FLAPPERS? Yowza, what a showing. These two beautiful ladies certainly lit the place up, I can tell you. I just love their costumes! It seemed like the only thing missing was a lineup of antique cars, discharging carloads of Flappers at the front steps.

The Fenway is a beautiful old landmark hotel, right on Edgewater Dr., with stunning views of the bay beyond. It has been bought by a local man who wants to restore it to its former glory. Certainly it looks much better from the front, already! If you'd like to read about owning a piece of the historic Fenway Hotel landmark, click here.

This was the scene at the Fenway Hotel on Edgewater Dr. Monday evening. Quite an interesting party they had, with all sorts of Who's Who types. What fun! It was so cool to see the folks that dressed in period costume of the Roaring Twenties, Flappers and all!

I especially enjoyed getting a bit of a look at the interior of the Fenway's lobby. Amazing to imagine the guests coming and going through these same halls and lobby so many years ago. One would think it would be fantastic to have it restored and re-opened!

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event

The Fenway, revisited. There was a cocktail party of sorts this evening. At the Fenway Hotel (The Fenway On The Bay), people interested in the preservation of local history and local landmarks gathered to meet and greet each other, and talk about the potential beauty of this grand old hotel. What a splendid evening. And what splendid goings on, and splendid pictures.

You simply must come back tomorrow to see more! There were numerous people in period costume, including a 'right smart chap' giving a golf ball a hard time! It's a beautiful place, and I hope I can show you some images that do it justice. Please, come back tomorrow and let me know.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Fine Art Center Tile Wall

Click for larger picture in a new window

At the Fine Art Center in Dunedin, there is this really neat wall, outside, all covered in ceramic tiles that seem to be custom made, one of a kind. I am pretty sure they were made in some of the various art classes that are offered at the Center.

It does open one to the possibilities that present themselves when you have lots and lots of any one thing. Even if they are all different in some ways, as long as they are similar in at least one way. All these tiles are ceramic, all the same dimensions. That, in itself, is enough to start with!

Dunedin, Florida: Paloma Lane Street Scene

Picture if you will... a quiet, peaceful street in a small, cozy town on a sunny, cheerful coastline in Florida. That would be Paloma Lane (of Paloma Lake fame), in wonderful, cozy, friendly, delightful Dunedin, on the West Coast of Florida.

It's a beautiful sunny day, the birds are singing in the trees, the ducks are doing ducky things in the lake and on the grassy banks... all is right in the world. Happy Sunday.
