The original owner B. Rhett Green had this house built in 1908 in the classic Victorian style. It…read moreincludes traditional gingerbread at the peaks of the roofline and still includes its original hardwood floors! It is one of the last homes of its era and type in all of Pinellas County! In 1910, it was a popular place for neighborhood women to bring their laundry. They had a big cast iron kettle of boiling clean water. This house had the best well in town since other nearby wells were full of sulfur! Electricity, fueled by a coal burning plant located on Iron Age Avenue, was added to the house in the 1920s. Use of electricity was limited to the hours of 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Plumbing was installed in the 1930s, less than 100 years ago. The original claw foot tub fell through the floor and remains below the house to this very day! Life is good with history, hidden in plain sight!

After one year, the paper ceased but then came the Safety Harbor Herald which moved to this site in 1920. The paper grew to 12-16 pages and published every Friday! Life is good with local history!

But I could hear it with a good feeling. The servers were steadily working, and that made the food worth it! Now for the food, I had the BLTGT and the fried pickles, ( I have grown to like these a lot) The food was delicious what more can I say! I definitely will be eating there again!! Sorry, I didn't take any pictures!

The history of initial Spanish exploration in this area is not well known so kudos to the city of…read moreSafety Harbor for posting historical marker signs. Spanish explorers visited this area searching for a waterway across Florida and seeking the legendary fountain of youth. Ultimately what they found were indigenous tribes at war with each other. Settlements were made but everyone disappeared, Christianity was spread, disease was spread as well, and ultimately the original local tribes suffered as Europeans settled. All of this started in the 1500's believe it or not! Imagine life back then and being the first Europeans to visit Florida or being a native resident and having the heavily armed Spanish show up suddenly one day in a ship! Life is good when you appreciate history!

One of my favorite places to visit Florida is Safety Harbor…read more The dining choices are plentiful and first rate. If you're a runner or walker, you'll love the Best Damn Race and Best Damn Leftovers Race held here each year. Safety Harbor seems to be a very pet friendly area, too. The Chalk Fest and street fest Fridays are so much fun. The shops on Main Street are super cute and walkable, and views by the pier and off Bayshore are memorable. I can't wait for my next visit!

Love the fact that I moved to Safety Harbor and I discovered the local Legion. I have been a long…read moretime member of the American Legion since my time in the Army. A few Legion posts just are plain boring with monthly meetings, but this post is the exception. My wife and I went in on Wing night / Karaoke night and had a blast. Granted, you can not come in here if you are not a member, but if you are a friend of one they can sign you in. This is a classic 80's style Dive bar, and the average age here is very much Viet Nam, and older Vet's, but for me (Persian Gulf, Bosnia, etc) it wasn't a big deal. I love hanging out with Vet's of all ages and love coming here for cheap drinks, great conversation and slightly scary karaoke :) Glad I'm a member and I moved into this town. This post is very connected to local charities, city events, and people that know people to get things done around. For example, my new house needed a kitchen and at least 2-3 members of the post owned companies in the area that can do just that. Can't wait to go back!
