Dunedin, Florida: Frank Gregoire, Ron Walker Election Signs

Click for larger picture in a new window

I admit it, I don't know a thing about these two guys. But it seems like they have a fan. I can tell you this: Frank Gregoire wants to be the Pinellas County Appraiser, and Ron Walker wants to be on the School Board. I am not sure why anyone would want to be those things... but perhaps this is how these two have decided they can help.

I don't know that I would ever want to run for a public office. Like most people, I suppose, I occasionally fantasize about being in those positions and making things better. But I don't know that I would be willing to fight through the election process and deal with the way campaigns seem to be run these days. Oh well, cancel the Me For Prez signs. :)

Dunedin, Florida: My Dream Home?

It's really just an ordinary house. There is nothing grandiose about it. There is nothing rare or spectacular about it. But then again...

I am a garage/workshop kind of guy. So when I saw this little house in Dunedin with it's one car garage in front... AND a two car garage out back... I fell in love. I mean, for a small, typical house in an affordable neighborhood, it just doesn't get any better!

Dunedin, Florida: Downtown Dunedin Purple Heart Park

Click for larger picture in a new window

It never ceases to amaze me how things come together sometimes. Last week I posted a picture of a clock from Purple Heart Park, in Downtown Dunedin. I confessed that I knew nothing about the park, and promised I would keep my eyes open next time I was downtown. Well that came sooner than later, and I took several pictures the other day, so that I could post them here. And then...

Today Gloria left me a comment on the post about the park. It would seem she has all the scoop, and here it is:

On August 7, 2008, the City of Dunedin was honored through the dedication of the new Purple Heart Park just north of the intersection of Main Street and Edgewater Drive. The park is right next to the SunTrust bank branch on Alt 19. It is dedicated to all of our service people who have been given a Purple Heart. If you Google "Purple Heart Dunedin FL", you will be able to read all about it. Our friend, Al Lentz, who is the recipient of 2 Purple Heart awards and a veteran of two tours of duty in Viet Nam was instrumental in seeing this monument come to fruition. It took a lot of hard work on the part of the very veterans to whom we owe our freedom to see this project come to pass. Thank you to everybody involved. We love you Al :)

I must have just missed the dedication by days! Dangit! But major, major thanks to Gloria for this information!! Click here to read about the Park on the MOPH (Military Order of the Purple Heart) website. Click here to read the St. Petersburg Times story about the park. Here is another view:

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Real Estate: TOO High

Click for larger picture in a new window

Dunedin Real Estate comes in many sizes, conditions, and prices... This adorable home has a lot going for it. But it has one big thing going against it... the price. For the 1,062 square foot home, they are asking $179,900!! That's $169.40 per square foot! That may fly in other parts of this country, but it is not going to fly here in little 'ole Dunedin. At least not on this street, which is close but not quite downtown. But then, maybe that is why it has been on the market for a whopping 213 days. Yeah, that's just over 7 months!

That being said, if the house interests you, the MLS # is 7324689, and the sign out front lists Charles Rutenberg Realty Inc. as the office, and Marie A. Carroll as the agent. Her number is 727-584-5000. You can even tell her you read about it on Dunedin Daily Photo if you like. :)

Check back from time to time, if you are interested in Dunedin Real Estate, as I will be posting more examples of Dunedin Real Estate. Have a great day! ____
