Route pics

I zoomed in as you suggested. It's getting almost scary that I'm recognizing certain buildings and recalling views of what's around the buildings, provided you've presented photos of them.

I have never posted any photo of that but city hall. you might see a church or the old building west of city hall. I haven't mentioned the pharmacy, butterfield drugs.

Sorry to hear you locked yourself out of the truck. Gotta tell you....that happens to each of us at least once in our driving tenure! (I did that about 15 years ago .... thankfully, one of those universal keys was wired in a secret spot - and I knew where that spot was)

The King's Inn looks better in black & white than in color

sometimes using black and white gives these a make over and a memorial look. it makes one feel that these are still in their prime as most photos were black and white.

Then maybe I saw it on one of the videos?

I recognized the city hall.

first location is barely visible and this is a historic building going back to the early 1900s.

I used to stop in there when it had that butterfield rx sign and also butter rx sign. it got pretty bad and they closed it and then reopened with the location in Lakewood park. then later in say 2000ish they close that location in the down town and kept the Lakewood one open.it was family owned, I have no way, outside of one person who will know for sure and have stories to tell, of finding out

restored, this was a big complaint as it wasn't what it looked like. the edifice was white, and had apartments on the top floor. it also had a restaurant there at one time if I recall. I vaguely recall they closed it for a few years and some restaurant went in and they left the butterfield sign up.

the door was interesting as that curb wasn't as wide.

this is connected to the florida theatre a few homes I haven't photographed, the Seminole building and also the old county courthouse in vero beach. I wonder why mr,brackett bought this one and restored it. yes you have seen the photo of it.

I'll wager he bought it because 1) location; 2) price; 3) beauty of architecture; 4) delight of the restoration process.

it was. it wasn't so small that you had to worry about cars but it was a bit more narrow. I sent a question to someone who will know about that place. his family goes back to prior indian river county. property they lived on wasn't too far from city limits at the time.

Still, with what's available now, if a driver cuts the corner too sharply, pedestrians could have to hustle quickly to get out of the way. But that's true of any sidewalk situation. Some drivers prefer to drive on sidewalks.

I have talked to him on facebook and his office is near the florida theatre. yet with that building in fort pierce it is not in the best of spots yet the afformentioned fort pierce redevelopment agency has done some great stuff with this part of historic fort pierce. this edifice had a twin to the south and both were in bad shape when I used to drive by this place the south side of orange avenue is now a court house.

I should get the photos of his home. ironically we have talked a few pages about his neighbor's home to the west on 4800 16th st. the one you said was too pricey to buy.

Always have to be alert, don't you. Never know when someone is going to live up to that bumper sticker: "Don't like my driving?... Get off the sidewalk!"
