“What’s In a Name”

Published by

“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 know Dunedin is an old citrus farming town settled by Scottish immigrants back in the late 1800’s in which our name is taken from Scottish Gaelic Dùn Èideann and our towns traditions are closely related to our sister city in the UK, therefor our Dunedin Golf Club was once named St. Andrews Links. Just like the beautiful and historic and centuries old, Scotland’s St. Andrews Links golf course, we have our own golf club. Scotland wanted to take back that name for their new website but they couldn’t because our little ole town in Florida USA had it taken already. Washington D.C’s Nixon Peabody Esquire, notified our little town that we …

Summer Time Treat

Published by

It’s hot outside and one of the sweetest ways to stay cool is treating yourself to your favorite ice cream cone. And one of my favorite spots to get creamy smooth homemade ice cream is Strachan’s Ice Cream Shop. Serving up double and triple scoops of slow churned frozen cream since 1999, Strachan’s Ice Cream and desserts is a local favorite. Three locations to choose from; Palm Harbor, Downtown Dunedin and off SR 580 in Countryside. It’s 4 O’clock and I’m enjoying my double scoop, chocolate dipped waffle bowl while sitting under the oak tree and watching all the downtown shoppers and pedestrians walking about. It’s hot and humid after the thunderstorm has passed over. The heat of the sun dries up the wet pavement adding to the humidity . The sky is blue and the clouds are fluffy and white. Perfect weather for a frozen treat. If you appreciate fresh desserts head over to one of Strachan’s ice cream shops and give them a try. You sure won’t be disappointed. When you first walk …
