This is a well known landmark of St. Petersburg...been around since I was a kid, and has gotten a colorful makeover through the years. I definitely wanted to get a picture of this, so this is one of the other places my sister and I visited for my photo shoot. My sister has informed me that they are going to tear this down and build another. I think that is just sad. I love this place. I got bit by a pelican on the nose here when I was a teenager...
Oh, and let me just say that the reason I have not commented on anyone's photos whilst on vacation is because the very expensive hotel suite that we booked did NOT offer free WiFi! What is up with THAT? I thought that was a standard amenity nowadays. Kind of like free HBO. But that's not even the most ridiculous...she looked at one hotel on the beach that actually made you PAY $10 a day just to PARK!!! Seriously, that's just sad...
Been missing you so much, Miss Paula! I'm glad you had a lovely vacation with your sister! Looking forward to catching up with you. About the Wi-'Fi - it was $15.99 a night at the hotel we stayed in on our anniversary! And that was not a cheap hotel. We paid $40 to park one night...yes $40!
Boo to that expensive hotel suite! That is why i prefer cafes over hotel lobbies. Cafes smell good with free wifi. lol. Beautiful vacation pix by the way! and uh, welcome back! =))
Like the shot, I am with you on not tearing down something like this, instead of renovating. In Philly, I paid 250.00 a night, but still had to pay for inter-net and 30.00 a day parking with only one in and out privilege. Really!
I love how the more expensive the hotel they more they charge for things that are standard at the Comfort Inn.
@sarasdadandmom next time you are in Philly, I will give you a few recommendations for smaller more local hotels that are really nice expreiences and half the price.
No Wifi? What did we ever do without it...talk bask in the sun, laugh, play boring board games ;) seriously, its like neathertald (see can't spell) not to have wifi these days! That is why i adore coffee shops!
Oh I so wish that I would have visited this while in St. Petersburg...ah, I guess next time! I hope you had a great visit with sisters! I can't believe no wifi!!

@1invisiblegrl I know what you mean...it was daunting just thinking about all that I missed...that's why I didn't even touch the computer Sunday.
@5unflow3r @espyetta I know, right? It's already been revamped! No tearing down necessary!
