Dunedin, Florida: Typical Dunedin Homes

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!

Click for larger picture in a new window

This is what some neighborhoods in Dunedin look like. It's pretty typical Florida architecture in some places. Sadly, newer homes often lack the deep shady porches that are so helpful in cooling the home and providing a sense of community. Others give them a truncated sort of porch that really only amounts to lip service.

I have many, many wonderful memories of porches in the houses I grew up in, as well as the houses of my grandparents. The next home I buy will HAVE to have a front porch... or a place to add one on! What about you, are you a porch person?

Did someone say party at the ballpark?!!? Wahoo! Meet me at the Bull Pen Cafe, at Knology Park, for a chili dog and a beer! Baseball, beer, and chili dogs... I know lots of you out there will say it just doesn't get any better than that.

But hey, let's decide who's paying before we get there, okay? I noticed the sign in the back of the tent. It says a chili dog is $4.75, and bottle beer is $4.00. So, maybe we won't be having any eating contests in the Bull Pen Cafe.

Dunedin, Florida: Knology Park Sign: Jays

I wanted to post this sign from Knology Park so you would be able to find it when you go! Compared to some, it's really a nice sign. I like that it shows the emblem not only for the Toronto Blue Jays, but also the Dunedin Blue Jays, and even for the Dunedin High School Falcons baseball team!

For those of you who notice such things, I see it as a mark of good photography to notice things like the scrolling marquis sign in the picture, and then time the shot to capture the message in mid scroll. Unfortunately, I cannot claim that title! :)

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

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.
