0:27
a baseball game it is the city connect

0:32
that because I want to do some stuff
0:33
around downtown I stayed in a hotel last
0:36
night called the Avalon really nice
0:38
quaint little kind of cute three-story
0:40
motel hotel Place few blocks away still

0:48
take an hour got to head around see what
0:51
I can find downtown and just enjoy the
0:54
day and the Sun is definitely permeating
0:57
so here in the city named after sunshine
1:00
well the nicknamed after sunshine I'm
1:02
going to try to stay in the shade and
1:03
I'm inviting you to join me on what is
1:07
the 99 day prior to my birthday my 50th
1:12

1:17
from right now countdown is on I've been
1:20
doing really well on my eating habits my
1:23
working out I have not done in a couple
1:24
weeks I've been traveling I haven't done
1:26
in a home gym but home gym but I'm going
1:29
to harness it in now I'm doing really
1:31
well looking in the mirror I I I can
1:33
tell I can see some progress but now
1:35
it's game on the next 99 days no cheat
1:38
days going Full Throttle let's see what
1:41
I can do inviting you to join me see
1:42
where the day leads long intro I know
1:44
but shall you got a trolley going by
1:47
right
1:49
here there's a pizza
1:52
delivery driver right there on the
1:54
bicycle sunnd dial in the middle lots of
1:57
construction happening around this part
1:59
new
2:00
accommodations Resorts motels hotels I
2:04
kind of decided that every time I do
2:06
come over to a game which I'm not going
2:07
to go to a lot of home games I'm doing
2:09
so many away games this year that I'm
2:11
going to stay the night either before or
2:13
the night of so I have to drive over
2:16
back and forth that I can get a an extra
2:18
day without that you know 2 hours on a
2:21
good day 2 and 1 half hours on a bad day
2:24
and a horrible day 3-hour commute down
2:26
I4 from celebration to St Pete so stayed
2:30
stayed in town last night but honestly I
2:31
don't know again how many home games I'm
2:33
going to go to I've done 20 away
2:35
stadiums while seeing my rays and I've
2:38
got 10 more to go this year this has
2:39
been an Endeavor I've been doing for the
2:42
last couple of years and I'm hoping all
2:44
goes well crossing my fingers that I
2:46
knock off the last 10 this year so I'm
2:48
going to be out of town quite a bit
2:50
looks like they had a chalk walk it's
2:52
never too late to be a rock
2:55
star and take a breath return return to
2:58
love like like it all right I stand
3:00
corrected that is not the sun dial
3:02
that's something else here in town this
3:04
is the Sun On The Edge commissioned by
3:07
by St Pete back in 2021 it was completed
3:11
there's a lot of murals around
3:14
here but not the sun dial this is the
3:18
Sun On The Edge here's a little Peppers
3:21
ghost kind of effect a little Shadow
3:24
here I should probably do a weighin at
3:26
some point not sure when maybe maybe but
3:29
I get 75 days down
3:31
to you know my 50th birthday I'll do a
3:34
weigh in and then I'll just that that
3:35
way I can really be held accountable
3:37
probably should have done it yesterday
3:39
or today but got back in town late the
3:42
night before left early yesterday to
3:44
come to St Pete I didn't do it but I
3:46
need to get away and that'll definitely
3:48
help the progress but I've seen a little
3:49
bit of difference also this is the first
3:50
time I've ever worn a shirt of this kind
3:53
of material this new this new city
3:58
connect type of this is this is the kind
4:00
of item that the players would wear in
4:03
the preworkouts I think it's made so you
4:05
don't sweat as much in it but I've never
4:07
worn anything quite like this before but
4:08
it's very snug and it's cozy cozy
4:11
fitting can't really see because it's
4:13
you know it's like a it's not really a
4:15
mirror but it's kind of electrical box
4:17
kind of reminds me of
4:19
Sully Monsters Inc also parking
4:23
enforcement parking enforcement there's
4:25
a small miniature parking enforcement
4:28
good advice I guess if you're a in
4:29
public but probably would have some
4:31
health issues if you followed that when
4:34
you're in public you probably
4:36
shouldn't look at all this construction
4:38
down
4:40
here everywhere big skyrise right that's
4:44
the must be the parking structure and
4:45
then this is going to be the skyrise and
4:48
there's a train up there new
4:55
building right across the street from
4:55
all that new construction never noticed
4:58
this before there's an old sign there
5:02
mcis thought it maybe was a theater side
5:04
but I think that might say mcro
5:07
something
5:13
rores obviously it's no longer that a
5:13
bunch of other businesses and
5:15
restaurants but nice old signage up
5:17
there I think a new nickname should be
5:20
new building construction City there's
5:23
another one right
5:25
there I mean there's like I've counted
5:27
like four maybe five huge huge buildings
5:30
being built within a couple blocks nice
5:32
little art installation here it looks
5:34
like that is a flamingo or some sort of
5:37
a bird colorful Bird right up there that
5:40
looks like a I don't know what that is a
5:43
goose perhaps and odds are pretty good
5:45
there's probably a touring band in this
5:47
bus right here and that's probably their
5:49
equipment around the back right up here
5:51
is the former Janice landing now called
5:53
Janice live a venue that I used to go to
5:56
many many many times last time I was
5:58
here I saw Hot Water Music in a
6:01
Veil but back in the '90s saw a bunch of
6:04
bands here a couple dozen bands
6:06
including no effects on the heavy
6:08
petting zoo
6:10
tour yeah CU they're gearing up for a
6:12
little show today back they are out in
6:13
full force
6:15
today parking
6:18
downtown got to be on your toes make
6:20
sure you pay them quarters or this will
6:22
be the second day in a row that I've
6:24
gone into the Starbucks went with a
6:25
little large well not a little went with
6:27
a large here Pik place little cream and
6:36
sugar cheers caffein piping hot caffein
6:36
beverage in the shade take a look at
6:39
this there is a mystery machine well a
6:42
small there's some uh pigeons going by
6:46
the more mystery
6:49
machine that thing's
6:52
small it's like half the size of the
6:53
regular Mystery Machine it's like
6:56
a half the version this is not the end
7:00
well this this is the end of
7:11
beginning just a line right there that
7:11
just says end over near here is the
7:13
savador dolly Museum haven't been in
7:15
there in a while so I think I might pop
7:16
in see if they have anything new there
7:19
was a book I was looking for didn't have
7:21
that last time that that had Walt Disney
7:25
and Salvador Dolly it was a book about
7:27
both of them together because they knew
7:29
each other
7:30
so I'm passing this little Park here
7:32
know as Pioneer Park I'm going to start
7:35
making my
7:36
way real quick like over to the dolly
7:38
Museum see if they had that in the gift
7:40
shop look off in the distance you can
7:41
see the dolly Museum think this guy's
7:44
hoisting a boat up on that little crane
7:45
right there always love this mural at
7:49
the manatees and Aquatic sea life I
7:51
think there's a maybe a mermaid hugging
7:52
the manatee or woman her hugging the
7:55
manatee it wasn't expecting to see this
7:57
this down here a great ful St Petersburg
8:00
commemorates the sight of the launching
8:02
of the
8:03
Titanic on October
8:19
197 so evidently a
8:19
Titanic launched here on October 29th
8:27
1976 a plane taken off over
8:27
there that Municipal Airport
8:37
a little two possible threers
8:37
plane okay did a quick little search
8:40
online for what that Titanic thing was
8:43
so there was a yacht here at the yacht
8:45
club from what I was reading that was
8:49
sent out in 1976 and they put that for
8:52
that that has nothing to do with the
8:54
Titanic the real Titanic the main
8:57
Titanic obviously I know
9:00
the real Titanic did not set sail in
9:02
1976 it was many many years before that
9:05
but I thought maybe that was a nod to
9:07
that but it's not another Park here I
9:08
think I'm going to try to get a closer
9:10
view at that little municipal
9:14
airport I think you just walk right up
9:16
to the p
9:33
the world's first regularly scheduled
9:33
commercial airline within a decade at
9:36
the famous wri brothers 1903 Flight
9:38
Aviation history had been made in
9:40
Florida first transcontinental flight
9:42
landed at Jacksonville 1912 naval air
9:44
training center open in Pensacola in
9:46
1913 all Way north of here and the St
9:49
Petersburg Tampa airboat line the
9:53
world's first regularly scheduled
9:54
commercial airline began in 1914
10:02
you could go across the bay in a b plane
10:02
on January 1st
10:03
1914 there was a high bid of $400 for an
10:07
auction held before the
10:13
flight
10:14
interesting I never knew
10:16
that always like a good placard
10:45
there's the control tower as Clos as you
10:45
can get plane flying
11:07
these
11:07
little parrots out here they kind of
11:09
remind me of the Orange County
11:10
California parrots with the orange
11:11
circle look at this yeah see that one
11:14
right up there on the branch of the palm
11:15
tree it was cackling quite a bit but it
11:18
stopped it got a little camera shot
11:19
can'ts crawling away back into the
11:22
little little uh main area of where the
11:26
tree is oh take a look at this little
11:28
play area it's like made to look like
11:31
kind of old timey airplanes as well look
11:33
at this there's like a is that airplane
11:35
there airplane there right here in the
11:38
little playground it's kind of neat and
11:41
just to close show the close proximity
11:44
for where The Landing Pad is at this
11:46
airport there is the dolly Museum
11:49
Straight Ahead down there you hear
11:50
another one Landing right now
12:19
pretty cool looking building huh
12:35
they just keep taking off one after the
12:35
other like every I don't know every 5 or
12:37
10 minutes or so another plane takes
12:45
off I mean as it should be it's an
12:45
airport so that makes sense I don't know
12:47
why I'm surprised by that okay two
12:50
helicopters one
12:52
there and one
12:55
there that's
12:57
unusual helicopter there flying directly
13:01
over and another helicopter right there
13:05
they going the same
13:06
way that's rare fact I haven't seen a
13:10
helicopter all day till now and now I
13:13
see two that one was waiting for the
13:15
other one to cross don't cross the
13:17
streams fellas all right entered the
13:19
gift shop you can walk around in the
13:21
gift shop without actually going in the
13:22
museum I've been in the museum a couple
13:24
times I'm not really sure if I'm going
13:25
to be going through again but I want to
13:27
see if they have that book and I I am
13:29
not
13:30
seeing I'm not seeing it anywhere so
13:33
evidently they don't sell the the Walt
13:36
and Dolly book anymore together this is
13:40
a really cool building now of course the
13:42
Rainy rolls 2010 and Oma Salvador doll's
13:45
rainy taxi but this is a in a real form
13:48
it's a real automobile again you can
13:50
walk in and see this without paying ad
13:53
mission to the museum and you can see up
13:56
here there is someone with a scuba hat
13:58
on right there you can see he rolls it's
14:01
raining down behind it it's raining down
14:03
behind it he's got the grip on the top
14:07
of the steering wheel there and there's
14:08
like a bunch of little
14:10
snails across the Do Not Touch hug or
14:16
tickle don't even tickle this
14:18
car I don't think cars like being
14:20
tickled maybe they do if you tickled a
14:22
car would it laugh I'm not going to I'm
14:23
not going to tickle that one because
14:25
it's not allowed but it it might I
14:26
tickle my own car one done and up top is
14:28
a PR antis up here dangling from the
14:30
roof
15:07
now if that doesn't say Beachside
15:07
Community
15:09
Apartments I don't know what does that
15:13
is a thing of beauty right
15:21
there well water side the Fountain of
15:21
Youth not in St Augustine I think is the
15:25
main one but there's one here too I
15:26
guess it used to be on the pier from
15:27
what I was reading yesterday
15:34
I stop back by this last time I went to
15:34
the dolly Museum I walked by
15:40
here almost knocked the camera out of my
15:40
hand Bo that's just definitely a little
15:44
trickle I was going to drink a little
15:45
bit out of that but I had to put my
15:46
mouth right on that nozzle I don't think
15:48
I want to do
15:49
that guess I'm going to stay old I'm
15:51
going to I'm stay old 99 days to 50 prob
15:55
to drink out of that
15:59
could reverse the aging process or also
16:01
in this General vicinity cocoon W wford
16:04
Brimley great movie also very unusual
16:07
that cocoon is not on streaming and it's
16:10
very difficult to find in fact if you
16:11
have a VHS or DVD or Blu-ray I have the
16:15
Blu-ray it's R very rare I don't think
16:17
they make it anymore the Ron Howard
16:20
classic dare I say A Perfect film filmed
16:22
in this neck of the
16:24
woods so you can either drink out of the
16:26
Fountain of Youth or you can hang out
16:28
with Wolford Brimley
16:29
who when he filmed that was like my age
16:32
I think he might have been a year
16:33
younger than I am now this little birdie
16:36
is just standing here I like walked up I
16:39
didn't didn't even fly
17:04
where's your
17:07
mama where's your mom at
17:10
birdie so many years ago my mom this is
17:14
when I was when I was very young my mom
17:16
walked up to a bird like that and picked
17:19
it up it was like trying to see what was
17:20
going on and out of the tree the mom
17:24
swooped in and went after my mom it was
17:28
like Mom against
17:29
mom so I think that might be the mom's
17:32
probably up
17:41
here bird looks okay though it's
17:41
healthy take care
17:43
birdie I'd pick you up I don't want to
17:45
get swooped in by your
17:46
mama that's definitely one of those
17:48
situations I don't really know what to
17:50
do just like the bird appeared to be
17:52
doing okay but it definitely was an
17:55
infant bird it was a a young a young
17:58
bird
17:59
bird maybe it's siblings and his mom and
18:03
dad are around
18:04
somewhere that's what that's what I'm
18:10
thinking I probably can't care I
18:10
shouldn't be taking a bird around with
18:12
me the rest of
18:13
I just like hold it in my hand at this
18:16
little birdie little cute friendly
18:18
birdie very friendly wasn't scared of
18:20
nothing tough bird tough bird this light
18:23
is under
18:29
repair just saw a guy back there sitting
18:29
at a restaurant I walked by saw his
18:30
shirt said I speak fluent movie
18:34
quotes I was like man that's a nice
18:36
shirt that's pretty much 3/4 of my dial
18:40
I just realized what downtown St Pete
18:43
needs more construction it needs more
18:47
things being
18:54
built this just not enough construction
18:54
down here
19:01
I mean it is progress so that's a good
19:01
thing but yeah like everywhere you turn
19:03
there new
19:05
buildings lot of street art
19:11
too oh it's a real beehive of activity
19:11
out here when it comes to the street art
19:13
look at this it's like a
19:21
bee oo I haven't showed one of these
19:21
relics in a while because they are few
19:23
and far
19:25
between little skeleton well not just a
19:28
skeleton there's actually a little a
19:31
little fleshiness there of the
19:33
real relic of the past and check it out
19:36
this is where the phone book was and
19:40
that was where the phone was someone has
19:42
gwed off the phone
19:44
cord right down there but this is
19:47
something you don't really see too
19:49
often very I mean I a few years ago I'd
19:51
see them pretty often the ones that were
19:53
just kind of like falling into disrepair
19:55
or not working you put a quarter in
19:57
nothing's going to happen no M town but
19:59
now most of these have been ripped off
20:01
the walls there's one here in St
20:05
Pete few little scooters here like Vespa
20:08
style they're not Vespas but oh that is
20:10
a
20:11
vesa I think that might be a vesa that's
20:13
not that might be actually I don't think
20:16
any of them
20:24
are the road blows off over there I
20:24
could have brought mini Marge out
20:35
it's a long commute there for many Mar
20:35
free magazines down
20:37
here nature
20:39
Awakenings Paradise downtown guide map
20:42
Indian magazine creative loafing and
20:45
this one does not have anything on there
20:48
but all these are
20:50
complimentary downtown
20:57
mags there's a book and art store here
20:57
got SpongeBob fuzzy bear and even an Alf
21:01
stick on look at that it's like an Al
21:03
you don't see those too often the ALF
21:06
stick on the back of the car
21:09
window I like that quite a few venues I
21:12
went to concerts at and also played
21:15
shows out when I was in different bands
21:18
there used to be a venue over here that
21:19
we played out I think the name has
21:21
changed since them but it was over there
21:23
next the whiskey exchange maybe it was
21:25
the bar 548 before it changed
21:30
names again construction everywhere
21:33
literally everywhere out here's another
21:34
V I'm very familiar with it's called The
21:36
Floridian now but this used to be called
21:38
the State Theater many many many years
21:40
ago I probably went to at least a
21:42
hundred shows punk shows there back in
21:45
the '90s
21:46
mid to late '90s and then early 2000s
21:50
when I started a band Central Florida
21:53
band we would come over here to St Pete
21:56
and play at the State Theater so it was
21:57
cool to play
22:00
in a venue that I saw 100 bands that I
22:11
liked Sunshine everywhere this says You
22:14
Are My
22:15
Sunshine sun is definitely beaming down
22:17
listed on the national retry back in
22:20
2004 this building is a contributing
22:22
structure downtown St Pete the Harland
22:26
Hotel established 1925 became a local
22:29
Historic Landmark in 1997 and then in 04
22:33
put on the national

a a theming here for this side of
24:42
it yeah in the midst of all this hustle
24:42
and bustle and Sky Rises that are being
24:45
built is this quaint old looking church
24:49
and it looks like it still is an active
24:50
congregation this is the 10th Street
24:52
Church of God see some of the stained
24:55
glass windows still left right there
24:57
there is no love like God's
25:05
love I love the church steeple right
25:05
there probably was or maybe still is a
25:08
church bell up
25:19
top doesn't look like it's active though
25:19
there are some locks on the
25:21
doors maybe not
25:31
every time I see a church like this I
25:31
think of the movie North Avenue of
25:33
regulars great Disney liveaction movie
25:36
which is not on Disney plus I used to
25:39
watch it all the time when I was young
25:41
used to have it on VHS my parents did I
25:44
watch it when I was a kid I recently
25:46
watched it still holds
25:49
up but I had to stream it I had to like
25:52
pay for it on streaming it's l on Disney
25:53
plus even though it's a Disney live
25:55
action movie come on Disney the main
25:57
star who play play the minister I can't
25:59
remember his name drawing a blank on the
26:00
actor's name but he played the main
26:02
vampire in The Lost
26:05
Boys the main one it was in a bunch of
26:07
movies but just just a great movie clor
26:09
leech's in it just a a really great cast
26:12
also filmed around Burbank did not
26:14
realize that when I was very young
26:16
watching it a 100 times but when I
26:17
re-watched it a few months ago I was
26:20
like holy cow I know all these spots
26:21
this was in freaking
26:23
Burbank which was just kind of blew my
26:25
mind also except for the church building
26:26
in the movie that was not in Burbank
26:28
that was well it was Burbank it was from
26:29
the Disney
26:31
lot which has since been torn down that
26:35
section of the lot so the church doesn't
26:36
exist
26:41
anymore anyway I just got off on a
26:41
tangent little Gator right there little
26:44
in Tu city of St Pete some
26:47

window some retro stores here's a place
28:44
called Coney Island it's a skeleton I've
28:48
always passed by this in the car but
28:49
never got out to look at the old
28:52
Coca-Cola
28:53
signage Cony Island sign dangling there
28:58
to be honest I don't even know if this
29:00
place is even open
29:08
anymore but the classic Cony
29:08
Island you know not Jersey but here in
29:11
Florida how to crack the
29:14
strange there's Popeye right over there
29:36
there they're everywhere thought they
29:36
said welcome to Cigar City which I was
29:38
thinking maybe was a nod to eore which
29:39
is just down the down the road eore city
29:42
the city of
29:43
cigars this guy's swallowing a
29:51
dagger ghastly startling Secrets jittery
29:51
nerves oh look at this
29:55
666666666 I've got a secret
30:04
you know you're getting older when you
30:04
just read
30:10
things you just drive down the road even
30:10
when I'm not filming you just see a sign
30:12
and you read it out loud and everyone
30:15
around you is like shut
30:17
up at this whole telephone here's like a
30:19
Vasa well kind of a
30:39
I there a mushroom down here there's
30:39
also a venue I want to
30:41
show see if I can figure out where the
30:43
venue used to be inflatable
30:46
mushroom car being
30:49
towed
30:51
balloons St Pete
30:54
officer this is the content folks should
30:56
be a puck Rock venue right over here it
30:58
was where these roll up doors
31:00
are Arts food store I think it was maybe
31:03
where the Artisan is now and they've
31:06
been redesigned they were more storage
31:07
sheds like these would roll up and you
31:10
had a stage inside one of these but I
31:12
believe it was like the second or third
31:13
one or it might have been down here but
31:16
it was somewhere along here it was a
31:18
venue that had a lot of punk rock shows
31:20
I probably went to five or six most
31:22
notably I saw the band
31:25
ignite in here and the band
31:28
straight-faced
31:29
amazing kind of punk hardcore band
31:32
opened up for them and I also saw
31:36
AFI way before AFI kind of blew
31:40
up back in there very proud of your days
31:43
a Nitro records and they played right in
31:46
here I remember parking right there
31:48
there was so much parking the show
31:50
wasn't even that full we just parked
31:52
right here my ex roommate Rob and I we
31:54
parked right here right there or right
31:56
here somewhere in here it probably was
31:58
right here this might have been it but
32:01
you just went in there was a little
32:02
stage held like 55 to 75 people maybe a
32:06
100 people and I saw Davey havoc and Afi
32:09
and just tearing it up in there and then
32:12
ignite freaking great band ignite zoie
32:15
from ignite went on to sing for
32:16
Pennywise for a while then Jim then Jim
32:19
Lindberg unretired from Pennywise and
32:21
came back bunch of stuff no one cares
32:23
about I'm just throw it out there now as
32:25
I stand here I start to realize I might
32:27
be incorrect on ignite playing
32:29
here straight face definitely played
32:32
here AFI another time definitely played
32:35
here the reason I'm thinking of ignite
32:37
is because the singer of straight faac
32:40
we were outside talking to him by my
32:43
roommate's car we had the ignite CD who
32:47
at the time my roommate at the time his
32:50
car did not have a stereo that you can
32:52
put the CD in so he had a battery
32:54
powered boom box in the back not a boom
32:56
box but just a radio and we had to
32:58
change the the the batteries out every
33:01
so often and we were listening to the
33:02
ignite CD in the back we were talking to
33:05
Johnny the singer of straight face and
33:07
he was talking about how they toured
33:08
with Ignite and we talked about ignite
33:10
in the parking lot I knew ignite was in
33:12
there again there's probably two people
33:14
that are watching this that even heard
33:15
of that band but I'm sharing some
33:18
memories here just sharing some memories
33:19
there one of these I tried looking it up
33:22
couldn't figure out what the name of the
33:22
venue was but it was right here there's
33:25
a US flag painted on the side of this
33:26
building very nice it is Toasty out here
33:30
in the sun very warm in the shade much
33:32
more tolerable so get in the shade now
33:35
again I don't think I'm going to really
33:36
film too much I might take my camera
33:37
into the game but not not might not
33:39
really film a whole heck of a lot in the
33:41
game kind of wanted to do some other
33:48
stuff you never know that I'll take it
33:48
up if something dramatic happens I will
33:51
I will film it this also is the first
33:53
time that the ray players are going to
33:55
be wearing their City connect Jersey
33:57
first time in history yeah just talk
34:00
just to chime in a little more about
34:01
getting older it's amazing how things
34:04
you
34:05
remember they're kind of fleeting and
34:08
they they
34:10
also you know you end up remembering
34:13
things that probably didn't even happen
34:15
in the exact detail and format that they
34:18
really did probably more or less but
34:21
over time you tell the stories and
34:23
because back then there wasn't a lot of
34:25
videos and photos as much as there is
34:27
now you can't can't look back and go oh
34:29
that was the date that happened that was
34:30
who was there to the tea and then
34:32
someone will tell you something enough
34:34
that you end up believing it that's how
34:35
it was in the olden days but looking
34:38
back on current days you just be able to
34:40
you know look at photos on your phone
34:42
there's a date stamp or watch these
34:43
videos or watch someone else's videos
34:45
and you can remember everything to the
34:47
tea but you're really not remembering it
34:48
you're seeing it in video form someone
34:52
else is reminding you of the
35:07
oh it's still here I remember this from
35:07
like 68 months ago too this old phone
35:10
sign next to this retro
35:13
brick take a look there's like an old
35:15
phone sign right there no phone you can
35:18
see the trop popping up over the top of
35:20
the skyline over there that glorious
35:22
indoor dome stadium this place closed
35:25
but the mural's still on the side I
35:26
think it was a barbecue joint
35:28
you can almost see the US flag it's
35:29
almost like dripping down probably
35:31
because of how hot it is here that even
35:34
the side of the paint is like
35:36
dripping down I don't know if that's
35:38
supposed to represent that or
35:41
not yeah this place is closed up we got
35:44
Willie Nelson up here possibly Elvis
35:47
Johnny Cash probably Johnny Cash Wonder
35:49
Woman Princess Leia up
