I took a very short trip to the Sarasota area of Florida last June and consulted my blogger buddy and old-time Florida aficionado Rick at Visual Ephemera for some fun sights in the area and he suggested the Gulf-front strip along the coast of St. Petersburg called Treasure Island for its retro mid-century motels and Florida-of-the-past ambiance. I only had time to walk around for about a half an hour but was able to snap a few pictures of the glorious old signs and brightly colored lodgings. It's a great place...like stepping into an old post card. Shiver me timbers!
