On the corner of Walnut Street and 16th Avenue NE, this Moorish Revival apartment group has been repainted from ochre to white and looks all the better for it.

Eyeing its Bayview territory.

Spreading its branches in downtown St. Pete.

Walking back to my parked car in downtown St. Pete, this row of trees stopped me in my tracks as I spotted a good photo opportunity. Just behind me, a young lady’s voice called out, “You’re not from here, are you?” I explained that I actually was a resident, of ten years’ standing, but it was my accent that wasn’t from here.

My friend herself perhaps had a comparable story to mine, as her accent suggested Latin American roots. I reflected that while I have taken root in my adopted city, but I haven’t wholly uprooted myself from UK and European thoughts and emotions.
