St. Petersburg Times photo from 1961: "Dade City Police have taken to bicycles to cut down the number of break-ins plaguing area merchants. Above, Patrolman Eddie Hines checks a window in a building while making his night rounds. A walkie-talkie gives him direct communication with headquarters." Photo courtesy of daughter Angela Chittum who says her father said that the radio would only transmit up to 25 yards. (e2775)

Military ruins on the beach side of the island (just beyond the background palms). This was once a observation tower. Egmont Key has a lot of history. In 1898 a coastal defense system was built to protect the west coast of Florida from a possible Spanish invasion. This Fort became known as Fort Dade. By World War I their was a complete town on the island complete with a school, post office, hospital, theater, etc. Several miles of brick streets are still there today. This path connected the military fortress to the town.
