There are nice places to go during this year's brutal winter,and the beach at St. Pete's is certainly one of them. Unfortunately, this was taken in 2018 and I'm not there!
A.k.a 1311 Beach Drive, in St. Pete’s Historic Old Northeast District. Dating from 1925 and designed by Herbert Everett Wendell in a loosely Mediterranean Revival style, the private residence is currently for sale. The pagoda roofline hints at Japanese stylistic influences too. The marzipan and white stucco façade and trim suggests the icing on a wedding cake - the detail is actually etchings of tobacco leaves. The asking price is $2.15 million.
St. Petersburg is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. As of the 2020 census estimate, the population was 271,842, making it the fifth-most populous city in Florida and the largest in the state that is not a county seat (the city of Clearwater is the seat of Pinellas County). St. Petersburg is the fifth-largest city in Florida and the second-largest city in the Tampa Bay Area, after Tampa. Together with Clearwater, these cities comprise the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area, the second-largest in Florida with a population of around 2.8 million. St. Petersburg is located on the Pinellas peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and is connected to mainland Florida to the north.
St. Petersburg was founded in 1888 by John C. Williams, who purchased the land, and by Peter Demens who brought the railroad industry into the area. A coin toss bet was held between Williams and Demens to name this newly-formed community. Demens won the bet and subsequently named the land after Saint Petersburg, Russia. Williams was then granted the right to name the first hotel built (which he named the Detroit Hotel). Both named their winnings after their personal hometowns. St. Petersburg was incorporated as a town on February 29, 1892 and re-incorporated as a city on June 6, 1903.
The city is often referred to by locals as St. Pete. Neighboring St. Pete Beach formally shortened its name in 1994 after a vote by its residents. St. Petersburg is governed by a mayor and city council.
With an average of some 361 days of sunshine each year, and a Guinness World Record for logging the most consecutive days of sunshine (768 days between 1967 and 1969), it is nicknamed "The Sunshine City". Located on the Gulf of Mexico, the average water temperature is typically around 76 °F (24 °C). Due to its good weather and low cost of living, the city has long been a popular retirement destination, although in recent years the population has moved in a much more youthful direction.
American Style magazine ranked St. Petersburg its top mid-size city in 2011, citing its "vibrant" arts scene. The arts in St. Petersburg led the city to be named "One of the Best Street Art Cities in the World." St. Petersburg was also listed upon one of the top three places to visit in Florida. ranked the city as the seventh best place to retire, with 15 percent of the population over 65 years-old. In 2020, St. Petersburg was awarded a spot on of the top cities to visit in Conde Nast's 33rd annual Conde Nast Traveler 2020 Reader's Choice Awards. The city was recognized for being a "perfect" getaway because of its iconic beaches and historic destinations. St. Petersburg most recently joined 290 other cities as an "International City of Peace". This honor was granted by the International Cities of Peace and marks the second city in Florida to be given the title.

Affiche surréaliste – 1934 - Huile, lithographie et clef sur panneau de bois contreplaqué :
Ce travail est parmi les premières choses produites par Dalí en utilisant des symboles personnalisés à des fins publicitaires. Il est basé sur une publicité pour le plâtre à la moutarde (parue dans un journal de Barcelone le 12 janvier 1920), que Dalí a adaptée dans cette affiche surréaliste de 1934. Dalí a créé l'affiche pour annoncer sa deuxième exposition personnelle à la galerie Julien Levy. , à laquelle lui et Gala étaient présents. Dalí a transformé l'annonce en peignant sur l'affiche originale. Au-dessus de la copie des publicités, Dalí peint dans des cavités jaunes qu'il remplit de son nom et de ses images de marque - une montre molle, son infirmière d'enfance, des fourmis et un trou de serrure énigmatique avec de l'eau qui le traverse. Il comprend une côtelette d'agneau sous le pied de la figure avec une foule de fourmis qui l'accompagne, et une vraie clé qui semble s'insérer dans le trou de serrure peint est accrochée à droite de la figure. (Dim : 38.1 x 46 cm).

This is downtown view that greets me every time I emerge from my barber’s after a haircut. Snell Tower is always an uplifting sight, and the NRHP-listed building celebrates its centenary this year. The half-moon windows belong to the US Postal Service building of 1916.
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.
