Dunedin, Florida: Time Out Cafe: Trailside Downtown Lunch, Ice Cream If you happen to be cruising the Pinellas Trail through Downtown Dunedin, don't miss a chance to check out the Time Out Cafe. As in, time out from biking or running or skating or walking to have some great lunch, and enjoy the wonderful downtown scenery. The same applies to those of you cruising through in your cars, which will be easier now that they have re-opened the public parking lot next to Ocean Optics. Yahoo!

These nice folks were visiting the area, and loving Downtown Dunedin. From where they are standing in the photo, it is just a short walk to all the cool shops in Downtown Dunedin, as well as a number of excellent hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfast locations. And let's not forget the numerous dining choices, when they get hungry later in the day!

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway History: Schiller International University

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway History: Schiller International University Somewhere in the long and storied history of the Fenway Hotel, it was once occupied by one campus of the Schiller International University. The University has since moved on, or closed down, I don't know which. If you've been here before you might have read a little bit about the Fenway being restored.

But when it was Schiller International University, they painted some neat murals on the walls of some of the classroom buildings toward the back of the property. I happened to snap some of those murals one day when I was invited onto the property to take pictures. Pretty neat stuff, don't you think?

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

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 4 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

Click for larger picture in a new window
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.

Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 2

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Fenway Hotel On The Bay Sipping Sunset Event 2 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

Click for larger picture in a new window
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: Tubular Tuesday: Wormhole Trip To Clearwater Beach

Click for larger picture in a new window
Clearwater Beach, Florida: Homes & Housing Options For Living Or Vacationing Welcome to Tubular Tuesday, when we take a tube ride through a wormhole and end up somewhere else! Today, we end up on Clearwater Beach, Florida, checking out some rental and vacation housing options on the beach...

When it comes to staying on the beach, whether that means living out there, or taking a holiday or vacation, you will find many options for housing. Some will be more reasonable than others, some will be more sophisticated that others. This picture, with its fine balance of sand and sky and housing, shows what some of those options look like.

Wow, it sounds like I am practicing to become a vacation brochure writer! Oy! Well, here is another part of Clearwater Beach. So you get a little more idea what it is all about down here. Come visit, bring lots of money, or whatever you've got, and have a bunch of fun in the sun. Please... don't forget your sunscreen!

(I hope you enjoyed this recent post from my Clearwater Beach Daily Photo website.)
