“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 …

Celebrating Day Of The Dead

Published by

We are just two weeks away from Casa Tina’s Annual Celebration of Day Of The Dead or “Dia De Los Muertos”.  A Mexican tradition to pay homage to those whom have passed.  A celebration typically taking three days beginning November 1st with food, drinks, parties and activities that the deceased enjoyed.  In Latin tradition the dead is celebrated for the life they had and it would be considered an insult to mourn and express sadness. In Mexican folklore it is said that during Dia De Los Muertos the dead are awakened from their eternal sleep and join the celebrations with their loved ones.  Streets decorated with calacas and calaveras(skeletons and skulls) and storefronts displaying the alters of the deceased.  This is a most interesting and most colorful event of the year you sure wouldn’t want to miss.  For more information for this event checkout our events calendar on our Agenda page. Day Of The Dead in Dunedin will be held on Saturday October 29th 2016.
