    Southern Living Shines a Spotlight on Dunedin

    by Editor/Photographer

    It is one thing to know your town is special. It is another to see it in print—on a national stage. Southern Living recently published a feature on Dunedin, calling it an “under-the-radar Florida town” and “Florida’s hidden jewel.” The piece paints a picture of a place that feels untouched by the typical Florida tourist crowds—a town where wildlife outnumbers people on nearby islands,...

  • “What’s In a Name”

    by Editor/Photographer

    “What’s In A Name?” William Shakespeare. In Romeo And Juliet Shakespeare uses this line to convey that the name in which something is called is irrelevant. In 2011 this small town nestled along the coast line of the Florida gulf coast received an expensive lawsuit from Scotland. Yes, you are correct… Scotland the country in the United Kingdom. You see as you may already...
