I love the word Cracker. Most people don't realize that black people were called cracker more than white people ever were. Blacks moving north after The Civil War were often called "wise crackers."

Miami and South Florida were both beautiful places to visit and live in the 1950s! There were not many high rises and population growth was not that much like today.

I remember visiting my Dad's sister who live in one of these homes. It was a two story design built high on pedestals with the bedrooms on the second floor, a wrap around porch on both levels. Ceilings were over 9 feet and cross ventilation allowed for a reasonable temperature in the heat of the summer. Build about 1850. The only water was from piped water from the nearby lake to a hand pump in the kitchen. Sanitation was an out house. Baths were in the lake.

another major industry that shaped florida historically was phosphate/limerock mining, there are some old mines by newberry and high springs that were mined by convict labor that could rival in size and depth later mines that employed heavy machinery, you just cannot imagine these mines were dug by hand when you first see them, and it's not hard to imagine someone/s sentenced to the mines in florida back then,, dropping dead every week while these mines were being exploited

Some faraway voice. I think it God whispering in my ear, told me to look you up and here you are! I am so proud of you! Back in 1976 I asked you to sing at my wedding and you hesitated and said you would have to talk with to your parent and I had to shared my wish with my parents. All was fine with our parents, so you had a special part in my wedding to Joe. At some point I would love to reconnect with you. All is fine on this end and I hope it is with you.

I attended Rosenwald for 5th grade. My brother, Mike McGinness, and I were part of the first year of desegregation in 1970. We both enjoyed our time at the school. I was a bus patrol and hall patrol during that year. I made many friends and hated to leave towards the end of the year because we moved to Tampa. I loved my teacher that year, Mr. Harris.

This Totem looks more like a "Harpy Eagle" then an Owl. I live a good swimming distance from Hontoon Island. Seen a hundred Owls. Not one had those Square Peg ears. Can't explain the Rectangle beak though. Was there a blood alter on Hontoon Island ? Timicuan were big into child sacrifice. Seen some Old Paintings of Timicuan Priests holding babies upside down by their ankles, with one hand. In the other hand is a Dagger. The Dagger is clearly right next to the newborns neck..The Mother of the child is also depicted crying her eyes out. Guards stand near her to deter her from trying save her child. Quite sad.

Great history! Thank you - FYI-my Dad the late Tom Bowser owned a convenience store around late sixties ,soon thereafter as I recall Ben Wheeler built a complex that housed my Dad’s new business-Country Quick market a grocery store that also sold feed and western wear. It was a centerpiece in Oviedo at the time. This is where I worked through junior high and high school before we sold out to a National chain and moved out west. Many of the individuals and locations mentioned brought back memories . My Dad thought very highly of Ben Wheeler. Oviedo was a fun place to grow up. I rode bulls at Bobby Palmer’s on Red Bug Road ….yahoo!!

My Mother's family came to Florida after the Civil War and planted orange groves. The homes they built that evolved to meet the needs of a growing family were moved onto the Pinellas County pioneer park and can be seen there; the McMullen pioneer homes.

I remember my Grandfather talking about running the cattle through the grove at different times of the year to graze, keep down the weeds and fertilize the trees. Organic farming cause that's all they had. His brother my Great Uncle lived on the property until he died. Robbie McMullen. McMullen Booth Road in Largo Florida.

Correction, not named for Gen. Sumter Lowry. Lowry Park was named in 1925 after City Commissioner Sumter Lowry Sr. The land was originally purchased by the City of Tampa in 1918 for use as a cemetery. When the land was surveyed, it was found unfit for burials due to the high ground water level. For years it sat unused until the City Commission decided to develop it as a City Park. Commissioner Lowry handled the "red tape" to change the zoning from cemetery to city park, and so On Apr. 1, 1925, the Tribune announced that on Mar. 31, the former cemetery site was named Lowry Park in honor of City Commissioner Sumter L. Lowry Sr., due to his efforts in "consummation of arrangements for acquiring the land for park purposes." "Acquiring" in its context meant "changing the land use" because it had already been acquired by the city in 1918. The Tampa story that Commissioner Lowry "donated" the land for park use is a MYTH. The complete history is at www.tampapix.com/lowrypark.htm Commissioner Lowry's SON, Sumter Lowry Jr, donated the park's elephant, SHEENA, in late 1960. BTW, nice video.
