Who knew where the name “Tamiami” came from?! I always thought it was a Native American name… 🤔 On April 26, 1928, Miami and Tampa were joined when the 284-mile Tamiami Trail (US 41), officially opened.

I spent the day at the @cityofjax @jaxlibrary today doing research on #cedarriver. I was horrified to find about 50 stories and photos through the 60s to late 70s about the #pollution that was dumped into the #river by at least five local corporations regularly. What was once a beloved swimming and fishing destination for #Jacksonville #riverlovers was turned into sludge thousands of fish and wildlife dead in 1975. The positive in the day was how helpful Claire the Librarian was with helping me research. We have so much work to do. #cedarriverjax #jacksonville #jax #riverlover #pollution #beatpollution #florida #cleantheriver #cleanwater #jaxhistory #jacksonvillehistory #floridahistory

The @volusiamall has become a singular place that proves the world in which many of us grew up, no longer exists. It’s hard to believe that the idea of the super mall came in went within a few generations. Replaced by direct delivery of everyday customized goods through platforms like @amazon, the days of the communal indoor mall is over, and it’s not coming back. #daytona #daytonabeach #daytonabeachflorida #florida #floridalife #floridahistory #oldflorida #floridabeaches #history #historic #historical #backintheday #volusia #volusiacounty #historicalphotos #historicalphoto #historicalphotography #vintagephotography #vintagephoto #vintagephotos #historicalplace #localhistory #localhistorymatters #volusiamall #mall #shopping #shoppingmall #closed #closedstore

Happy Birthday to John James Audubon born April 26, 1785. Audubon, one of America’s first great watercolor artists, traveled to St. Augustine, Florida in 1831. He explored the northeast part of the state before making his way to Key West in April 1832. On May 7, Audubon delighted in seeing his first flock of pink flamingos. The famous wildlife artist discovered 52 new bird species to draw for his Birds of America (1827–38) book. The Greenshank bird is pictured in front of the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine. Audubon was accepted into the scientific societies in Europe and spent a great deal of time meticulously observing wildlife. His detailed field notes carefully recorded their habits, behaviors, and physical characteristics. On this print, however, Audubon appears to have made a mistake, for the Greenshank, a European bird, had not been seen in America before or since this drawing. It is believed Audubon mistook it for the Greater Yellow Legs bird. The depiction of St. Augustine in the background may have been drawn by Swiss illustrator George Lehman who accompanied Audubon on this trip to Florida.

For over three hundred years, St. Augustine was the most important city in the Southeastern United States. It was chosen by the Spanish due to it being easy to defend as well as having easily accessible freshwater. St. Augustine was to serve two purposes: as a military outpost, or Presidio, for the defense of Florida and as a base for Catholic missionary settlements throughout the southeastern part of North America. English pirates and corsairs pillaged and burned the town on several occasions in the next century. Clashes between the Spaniards and the British became more frequent when the English colonies were established in the Carolinas and, later, in Georgia. As a consequence, the Spanish moved to strengthen their defenses, beginning in 1672 construction of a permanent stone fortress. The Castillo de San Marcos was brought to completion late in the century, just in time to meet an attack by British forces from the Carolinas in 1702. Unable to take the fort after a two-month siege, the British troops burned the town and retreated. Our town has had many struggles, but it has remained through history as a thriving community no matter what turmoil it may face! #LocalHistory #FunFactFriday #StAugustineTrivia #StAuguatineStrong #HometownPride #LocalPride #StAugustineLife #Floridahistory #FirstCoast #HistoricCoast

This April marks 30 years since the Florida Holocaust Education Mandate was established. Since 1994, this crucial law has ensured that the vital lessons of the Holocaust are taught across Florida, helping to combat hatred and bigotry. At the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida, we celebrate this anniversary with a deepened dedication to our mission. Through powerful exhibitions and programs, we aim to foster just and caring communities free from antisemitism and all forms of prejudice. 📝⚖️ Join us in reflecting on this mandate's significance and in our ongoing efforts to cultivate tolerance and understanding. Together, let's educate to remember and drive meaningful change. . . . . #HMREC #HolocaustCenterFL # #FloridaHolocaustEducation #HolocaustEducationMandate #FloridaHistory #HolocaustRemembrance #AntisemitismAwareness #PrejudicePrevention #ReflectAndEducate #ToleranceMatters

In honor of Arbor Day, we celebrate one of Tallahassee’s most historic and iconic features: its trees! 🌳🌲🍃 Tallahassee is renowned for its many large and beautiful trees and has been designated an official “Tree City” by the National Arbor Day Foundation for 31 years and counting! In 2000, Tallahassee Democrat writer Gerald Ensley wrote that Tallahassee “lies under a carpet of green.” One of Tallahassee’s arboreal features is its canopy roads. 72 miles of Leon County’s roadways are shaded by scenic tree canopies, many of which predate Spanish arrival in Florida. These canopies are primarily made up of oak, maple, and birch trees. There are 8 designated canopy roads in Tallahassee, spanning both the county’s rural and metropolitan regions: -Meridian -Centerville -Miccosukee -Old St. Augustine -Old Bainbridge -Sunny Hill -Old Centerville -Pisgah Church Tallahassee has even boasted some celebrity trees, most famously the May Oak in Lewis Park. Beginning in the 19th century, the Tallahassee community gathered under this large Live Oak tree for May Day celebrations until the tree’s eventual collapse in 1986. Tell us your favorite Tallahassee tree or canopy road in the comments below! 👇 🌳🌲 Pictured from first to last: Meridian Road in 1970, Lake Ella, May Day Celebrations at the May Oak in Lewis Park, the Lake Jackson Mounds, early 20th cent.

When I was visiting my Aunt Becky, I went to a super cool late ‘80s early ‘90s Whataburger in Niceville, FL!! I just loved the teal and brown theme, wood-paneling, square tile patterns, and angles. Some of the newer chairs were there— but the booths were totally original and so comfortable!! Then I went to a local thrift store and I wanted to find an outfit that matched the Whataburger… so I found this cute ‘80s beaded beach top with leis and palms, a brown wide rattan belt, and a skinny teal belt… the colors all matched the theme so I threw in a scrunchie and started blasting some Exposé!! #80s #80snostalgia #80svintage #thrifting #thrift #thriftstorefinds #whataburger #retro #80smusic #80svibes #80sfashion #80scommunity #80sgirl #scrunchies #florida #floridahistory #kyleekubat #80scondos #80shair #perm #80sstyle #80sdesign #80sdecor #thriftshop #80sjewelry #niceville #expose #80spop #vintage

The City Gate marking the north side of St. George Street, holds more significance than merely being two pillars standing next to each other. In 1808, St. Augustine residents built the structure entirely out of coquina and used it as a line of defense against attacks.

#TBT! This week, it's a piece of Cortez history: the Albion Inn. The Albion Inn was built in 1896 by the Bratton family in Cortez Village. In 1908, A.M. "Joe" Guthrie bought the Inn, which was run family-style and had a large dining room that hosted fish and stonecrab dinners. The inn also housed a grocery store and post office. Originally, the building was constructed on pilings over the water. However, after the hurricane of 1921, the hotel had to be partially rebuilt and to avoid future disasters, and land was added in front of the Albion where water had once been. Guthrie continued to run the inn until it was sold to the Antilla family in 1952, around the time this photo was taken. The Antillas managed the property until 1974, when it was purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and operated as a sea search rescue station until 1991, when it was demolished and a new Coast Guard station was built in its place. The oldest portion of the building, which was originally the Bratton Store, was preserved and relocated by to the Florida Maritime Museum by the Cortez Village Historical Society in 2006, where it remains today. 📸: Manatee County Public Library System

DOVER, Fla. (WFLA) — The man accused of “brutally” murdering his girlfriend and her 5-year-old daughter in Dover has been arrested. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said Angel Gabriel Cuz-Choc, 31, fled into the woods after stabbing the victims, about three hours before deputies learned of the deaths. In a news conference Thursday, Chronister said that despite the “head start,” law enforcement teams “never gave up,” using undercover detectives, K-9 units and various technology to track down the suspect and take him into custody. “This murderer, who committed this heinous, vile and unthinkable crime against these two innocent victims, is under arrest,” Chronister said. At one point during the search, the suspect reached out to some friends for help, according to HCSO. They denied his request.“He may have been able to outrun the visual sight of the deputies that were out here, but he couldn’t outrun the scent of this K-9,” Chronister said. “The K-9 took us right to him.” Chronister said Cuz-Choc was able to slip out of his jacket and out of the K-9’s grip. He was taken into custody after deputies reached him. “This murderer will now face the full weight of the criminal justice system for the heinous and vile murders that he committed against these two innocent victims,” Chronister said. Cuz-Choc was removed from the woods to speak with investigators, who were attempting to interview him at the time of the news conference.

“It’s a UFO!” On April 25, 1966, Florida Governor Haydon Burns and several others claim to see a UFO outside their plane while on the campaign trail. The group was on its way back to Tallahassee from a campaign event in Orlando when they spotted the strange lights while over Ocala, FL. Air traffic control told the pilots they only saw the Governor’s plane on radar and nothing else. Then Governor Burns ordered the pilot to follow it.

Nathan Cobb Shipwreck 🌊 (From East Granada Blvd. turn south on A1A and travel about 2-miles south to 621 S A1A, at Cardinal Ave.) The Nathan F. Cobb was a three-masted schooner named after the shipbuilder and founder of Cobb’s Salvaging Company whose many rescues of stranded ships help lead to the formation of the United States Life-Saving Service. Despite its namesake’s history of shipwreck rescues, the Nathan F. Cobb capsized in heavy seas on 1 December 1896 en route from Brunswick, Georgia to New York with a cargo of timber and cross ties. The cook and a shipmate drowned when they were swept overboard in violent seas. The crew righted the vessel by removing the three masts and they drifted for four days until they became grounded on a sandbar off Ormond Beach. Rescue attempts led to the drowning of volunteer Fred Waterhouse, whose body was never recovered, but no other crew members were lost. It should also be noted that a large wooden telephone pole is located at the Nathan Cobb shipwreck site to identify the location and warn swimmers about possible ship wreckage debris still visible on the ocean floor at low tide. Timber from the wreck was salvaged and a three-room cottage was built on Orchard Lane called the Nathan Cobb Cottage. #ormondbeach #ormondbeachfl #ormondhistory #florida #floridalife #floridahistory #oldflorida #floridabeaches #history #historic #historical #backintheday #volusia #volusiacounty #historicalphotos #historicalphoto #historicalphotography #vintagephotography #vintagephoto #vintagephotos #historicalplace #localhistory #localhistorymatters #historicbuilding #shipwreck #historicalplace #historicalsite

@houligans1990 Tim Curtis (owner), came up with the idea to open Houligan’s when he was a college student after visiting a popular sports bar in Atlanta in the late 1980s. With his late father, Walter “Wally” Curtis, and local investor Mark McRobert, he opened the first Houligan’s in the South Forty Shopping Center on the southwest corner of Clyde Morris and Granada boulevards in 1990. Curtis eventually bought out the ownership stakes of his father and McRobert and took on veteran entrepreneur Gale Lemerand as a 50/50 partner in 2000. Today, the two have expanded the Houligan’s brand in recent years to include locations at Destination Daytona, Palm Coast, Port Orange, and Daytona Beach. Curtis and Lemerand said their ultimate goal is to grow Houligan’s into a national chain. #ormondbeach #ormondbeachfl #ormondhistory #florida #floridalife #floridahistory #oldflorida #floridabeaches #history #historic #historical #backintheday #volusia #volusiacounty #historicalphotos #historicalphoto #historicalphotography #vintagephotography #vintagephoto #vintagephotos #historicalplace #localhistory #localhistorymatters #localrestaurant #reataurant #sportgames #wings #burger #beer
