Weathered

I took these photos last summer at Lincoln Cemetery in Gulfport, Florida.

Lincoln Cemetery served as the main burial ground for St. Petersburg’s black population from the year it opened in 1926 and throughout the segregation era. Veterans as far back as the U.S. Civil War are buried here, as well as notable civic historical figures.  From years of neglect, the cemetery fell into deplorable condition.  The Lincoln Cemetery Society Inc. has been established to change that.  We hope you feel as compelled as we do to explore and preserve the cemetery’s rich history.

The Back Story

Labor Day, Saying Goodbye To Summer.

September 4, 2017 § 1 Comment

For most of us Labor Day marks the end of Summer, the beginning of the school year and a time to get together with our family and friends, but for some it’s the last day you can wear white.  Raised in casual Florida I never understood when my Southern friends would start wearing their white pants in May and then put them away after Labor Day.  I love the look and there’s no hard and fast rule anymore. White clothes tend to be made of lighter fabrics so it just makes sense that we wouldn’t wear them in the Winter, unless of course you’re some place warm.

South Of The Border

Straight out of a Jim Jarmusch movie, South Of The Border is filled with racist overtones and conjures up all kinds of childhood memories for me. Located in Dillion South Carolina, the first time my son was old enough to notice it on our drive down South I promised him we would stop and buy Mexican Jumping Beans. Sadly the cashier told us they hadn’t had them in years.
