Summertime Treat: A Sweet Tour of Dunedin’s Ice Cream Shops

Published by

It has been an unusual summer in Dunedin. We started the season in an extreme drought, watching the ground bake and our lush green landscapes turn a parched, dusty brown. An El Niño pattern shifted our weather, trading our typical afternoon thunderstorms for weeks of dry heat. So, when the first real showers finally rolled in mid-July, bringing relief to both the land and us Suntropolitans, it felt truly sacred. The scent of petrichor rose from the pavement, waking our senses. Lawns, trees, and birds seemed to sing in unison as a steady, gentle drizzle replaced what is usually a fierce lightning storm. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the light rain transformed into a shimmering golden curtain. Two weeks into this unusual rainy season, nature is alive with vibrant color—greens, pinks, lavenders, yellows, and oranges, all bathed in a golden light. At Highlander Park and the Dunedin Community Center, the grand oak trees seem to beam, with raindrops bouncing off their leaves like a grateful salute to the skies above. As the rain …

A long line of heavily decorated golf carts driving down a town road toward a downtown district. In the center lane divider, a permanent "Main Street Dunedin" sign is clearly visible. On the back of one cart, a young woman smiles while holding an American flag, while her passenger sticks her arm out of the side of the vehicle to give a peace sign to the camera.

The Suncoast Celebrates America’s 250th Anniversary

Published by

It was a special Fourth of July this summer. It marked the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. The festivities exploded across our Suntropolitan cities with pool parties, barbecues, and afternoons spent on our world-class beaches. Whether it was sailboats, motorboats, and jet skis out on the water, or a quiet day spent fishing with friends, the holiday spirit was everywhere. Here are a few of the standout moments I captured this milestone weekend. Dunedin’s Golf Cart Parade The City of Dunedin kicked off the evening’s festivities with an incredibly high-energy golf cart parade down Main Street. More than 260 golf carts rolled through town, decked out in red, white, and blue decorations, USA flags, and 250-year birthday banners. Spreading Joy Along the Route Escorted by Firetruck 61, the parade snaked through the parking lots of Mease Manor retirement home and Mease Dunedin Hospital. The golf cart troops followed behind—waving, blowing soap bubbles, and shouting “Happy 4th of July!” to cheering residents watching from the sidewalks and apartment windows A Spectacle on Main Street …

Juneteenth in Dunedin: A Day of Recognition, Restoration, and Celebration

Published by

The scent of steamed and boiled seafood filled the air. Eli’s Barbecue added its own smoky note. Children laughed and played. Music drifted across Pioneer Park. Under a clear sky, a cool breeze kept everyone comfortable as the City of Dunedin came together on a warm June evening to celebrate Juneteenth—a day of recognition, restoration, and celebration. The Gathering Presented by Dunedin Parks & Recreation, the event was free and open to all. Craft vendors lined the grass. Food vendors served up local favorites. Families spread out on blankets and folding chairs. Friends greeted friends they had not seen since last year’s celebration. The evening was just like any other in Dunedin—except that it was not. It was a day set apart. A day to remember. A day to lift every voice. The Entertainers and Vendors The event featured a rich array of local talent and small businesses: Special performances included the St. John Primitive Mass Choir, the Mt. Olive AME Mass Choir, Thee Poetic Prophet, and Crystal Latrece. The Harmony of Liberty The most …
