Taken in Tarpon Springs, Florida, USA This Atlantic Coast Line RR Depot was built in 1909. Today is is the Historic Train Depot Museum.
Tarpon Springs FL has one of the largest US Greek-American communities, with some 10% of the city’s 25,000 population having Greek ancestry. The Greek Orthodox cathedral was completed in 1943 to a Neo-Byzantine style, and its belfry is a noted local landmark.
CSX had just received permission to abandon their line from Tarpon Springs to Dunedin in 1987, the same year the city of Tarpon Springs was celebrating their centennial. So, CSX agreed to run six final trips on the line using two of their heritage passenger locomotives, 116 (F3A) and 118 (FP7A), on March 7-8, 1987. The train ran in a push-pull configuration, with seven coaches from the Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum and from CSX. Here, engine 118 is leading one of those runs back to Tarpon Springs from Dunedin. Courtesy Jack Bejna

Perhaps the owner of this Mercedes-Benz seen in Tarpon Springs suffered an overdose of Florida sunshine.
Celebrating its 31st year of tradition, Sunset Hills Elementary School will host the annual lambatha event.
"Because of Tarpon Springs' large Greek community, the Greek word "lambatha" was substituted for "luminary" when the tradition began more than 30 years ago.
The event was established after a group of Sunset Hills students developed a project to raise money for the Pinellas County Schools Economics Fair. As a form of advertisement, the group sold bags to local businesses and proposed their plan to light up the bayou.
Once the idea was approved by the school principal, mayor, city manager and fire department, the project was set in motion.
On Christmas Eve in 1986, the bags were placed along Spring Bayou and the candles were lit at dusk. The city experienced its first lambatha display.
City officials were so impressed with the outcome, it became an annual event and even made its way onto the city calendar."

I saw this man walking down the street with a guitar on his shoulder. He is a street musician that plays on the fishermen's dock. On this day he is leaving work early because the streets are empty. No tourists, no money. We talked about Covid 19 and its impact on America's black community.
