    Great video! Could be a great selling book, bit I'm glad was put in the form of a video. I learned a lot of the area I live near. I wish Pinellas County had a similar video.

    Love knowing all this. I grew up between Town n Country & South tampa so naturally spent a ton of my life in west Tampa. Most of this info i already knew but the way it was put together and told gave me a better understanding of things and how the great Plant, Benjamin, Drew etc shaped our today. I hope this info helps me shape it a little in my own way. Thanks!

    Wow! Great history. Some people don’t realize that at least one fishing lure maker used the scrap wood from tobacco pallets to make his lures. Worked very well.
