I took this Photo with my Canon 40D Digital SLR Camera in the Ridgemoor Subdivision of the Unincorporated Area, commonly called East Lake because it is located on the East Side of Lake Tarpon. The photo illustrates one of the East Lake Fire Chief's SUV.
There are three Fire Houses within the East Lake Area and the area is called (Unincorporated) Palm Harbor by the US Postal Service.
Downtown Palm Harbor, where the Post Office is located, is on the West Side of Lake Tarpon, several Miles West of East Lake, which is on the East Side of Lake Tarpon..
Clearwater is a city located in Pinellas County, Florida, United States, northwest of Tampa and St. Petersburg. To the west of Clearwater lies the Gulf of Mexico and to the southeast lies Tampa Bay. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 107,685. Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and is the smallest of the three principal cities in the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater metropolitan area, most commonly referred to as the Tampa Bay Area.
Cleveland Street is one of the city's historic avenues, and the city includes BayCare Ballpark and Coachman Park. The city is separated by the Intracoastal Waterway from Clearwater Beach.
Clearwater is the home of Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where bottlenose dolphins Winter and Hope live.
The global headquarters of the Church of Scientology is located in Clearwater; the organization had tried to take over the city in what was called Project Normandy.
By the early 1900s, Clearwater's population had grown to around 400, ballooning to nearly 1,000 in the winter. Clearwater's oldest existing newspaper, the Clearwater Sun, was first published on March 14, 1914. Clearwater was reincorporated, this time as a city, on May 27, 1915, and was designated the county seat for Pinellas County, which broke from Hillsborough County in 1912. In 1915, a bridge was built across Clearwater Harbor, joining the city with Clearwater Beach to the west. Clearwater Beach, although located on a separate barrier island, belongs to the city of Clearwater and fronts the Gulf of Mexico. A new, much higher bridge now arcs over the bay, replacing the former drawbridge; the connecting road is part of State Road 60 and is called Clearwater Memorial Causeway.
During World War II, Clearwater became a major training base for US troops destined for Europe and the Pacific. Virtually every hotel in the area, including the Belleview Biltmore and the Fort Harrison Hotel, was used as a barracks for new recruits. Vehicle traffic was regularly stopped for companies of soldiers marching through downtown, and nighttime blackouts to confuse potential enemy bombers were common practice. The remote and isolated Dan's Island, now the highrise-dominated Sand Key, was used as a target by U.S. Army Air Corps fighter-bombers for strafing and bombing practice.

I took this photo in the Spring of 1999 on 49th Street, Pinellas Park, Florida in the Parking Lot of a Strip Mall, where I used to eat lunch on work days. It is owned by a Pest Control Company, which exterminates termites. Some of Truly Nolen's Vehicles are modified to look like Mice with Tails, Ears & Whiskers added to their vehicles. In fact, this car has a decal on the door, that is a caricature of the face of a mouse.
Disclaimer: I took this photo in the Spring of 1999 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Slide Film, when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Slide and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate this Digital Image.
