This is somewhere in the Uptown section of St. Augustine, but I don’t remember what or where. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Rodinal 1:50.

This is a wonderful ice cream shop I found in St. Augustine. They do interesting flavors in soft serve, which is not nearly as common as interesting flavors in hard serve ice cream. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Rodinal 1:50.

Dining Room

Er, porch. All dining at Dick Mondell’s in Jacksonville Beach is outside. Because hey, it’s Florida. They do provide a roof for the inevitable rain. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Rodinal 1:50.

Dick Mondell’s

Home of the Big Dick. This is a small chain in northeast Florida, started in Gainesville from what I understand. This one in is Jacksonville Beach. I had lunch here, and the burger was pretty good. I just had a regular burger, not the Big Dick. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Rodinal 1:50.

Magic Beach Motel

I really don’t understand how you can demolish such a beautiful building. This is from September, when the motel was still operating. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double-XX), Rodinal 1:50.

Flamingoes

Diptych of one of the distinctive features of the soon to be demolished Magic Beach Hotel in Vilano Beach, Florida. I saw a couple of holes in the wall last Friday when I was there, right next to a couple of these. I think they may have been marked to save. I hope so.

Magic Beach Motel

We went by this place this past Friday and it is not long for this world. There is now a fence around it, and there are a couple of holes in the wall where demolition has started so they can build fucking condos. So much for magic. This is from World Wide Half Frame Camera Day a couple of months ago when the motel was still active. Pentax 17, Kodak 5222 (Double XX), Rodinal 1:50.
