I wonder the time of year they were visiting St. Pete. I live here and it's next to impossible to find a day where one could wear a wool jacket with an animal fur collar.
Robyn, due to the presence of the Goodyear Blimp, as well as the Vinoy hotel operating, this would be sometime in the spring of the 1930s. They would leave around early April.
I got married across the street from the Vinoy in the park. It was a little over six years ago. We had our reception in the Vinoy, it was beautiful. I'm so happy they restored that grand old building.
My Grandfather and Grandmother moved to the Berg in 35. He was a vet and contractor and went there to work on Bay Pines. He found lots of other work. Know of only his home and my family’s that he built. He did have a hand at working on the nurses building at Bay Pines veterans hospital that I think still stands.
I live in Bay Pines. ☺️
The hotel is the Vinoy. It is located in downtown St Petersburg, on 5th Ave N and Beach Dr.
on the other hand
this hotel is amazing
i dont know if you have seen it in person
(the poster)
but its gigantic
and very classy
its good to see that there were some rich folks back during the depression and that not everyone was depressed.
They had video cameras in the 30's? I never knew that, Good stuff.
Not a "video" camera. Film camera.
ahhhhhh...the good ole' days !😉
Wow, they've kept this hotel historically accurate. I was just there about a month ago and it doesn't look like it changed much.
i always see this place! weird to see it back then
Can you tell me the name of this hotel and where it was located?
The Vinoy, downtown St Perersburg, Fl
I didn't know the Vinoy use to be black and white
🤣
Before the 1960s water fountains and rest rooms among other facilities were marked “white” or “colored”
I noticed everyone back then wore a suit and tie and it is also 100° in Florida
I love st.pete
Was the blimp in the picture from the Coast Guard station at St.Petersburg?
Awesome.
guess there were still a few families left in the depression who could afford wintering in Florida...
Wow, man has the pier changed
i live in st.petersburg florida
omg Gibbs High School just had their homecoming at the Vinoy.
@travelfilmarchive It is the Vinoy Hotel 501 5th ave ne
It's just a little ways don the street from us and grander than ever!
Shhhh. Don't tell everyone!
the shuffleboard club is still here.
This was filmed in the time before it occurred to people that it wasn't necessary to wear a suit and tie in tropical weather.
And when they found it unnecessary class and style ended and boorish, uncivilized behavior began.
So the brick roads have been around since at least the 30's. It's no wonder they're so messed up.
FonchCakes most were made late 1800s. Hexagon side walks came around the 1910s
You aint kiddin!
I live there now and want to be on the Shuffle Board Club!! 😃
where is tom sawyer i can find him
@redringneck907 so do i :)
lol..point made. you misunderstood my comment. of course I felt for the poor and middle class that was nearly wiped out during the depression. I'm pointing out that many teachers seem to not teach the fact that the rich stayed rich and got richer. Not everyone got poor. There was a lot of disagreements during this time on where to take the country. Social Security, welfare, etc, that Roosevelt supported. My liberal teachers loved Roosevelt. So how could there be any constructive disagreement?
Of course they did. Educated idiots love socialism/communism not realizing that when it finally rears its ugly head the “intellectuals” are always among the first to be imprisoned or executed through progroms and cultural revolutions. They never learn.
@@rah2287 I don't remember posting a comment on here. You bring up a great point however. I think I was disagreeing with someone that not everyone suffered during the depression. It was a tough period of time but not for everyone. I didn't like the fact that in school they talked about this time for weeks in history class, as if everyone was poor, while that wasn't necessarily true. There were plenty of middle and upper class folks still around. They weren't all poor after all. Some of them got by if not perfectly well, they at least found ways to get by. Others of course at the bottom received charity and hand outs. When I took classees they would focus on this decade for some reason. All my history teachers did. While it was relevant, why spend a week or two or even a few weeks talking about this time, while overlooking other events before and after this period. I don't remember a single relative in my family that even mentioned the great depression. If it was so bad, why didn't any of the older ones back then talk to us about it. This is why I question exactly why it is relevant. You could talk about what happened recently and today as being a great depression since it affected more people. Yet it doesn't seem to be a daily news story in my own opinion.
