This is truly a breathtaking view, soaring over the tree tops, taking the eyes out to the Gulf of Mexico, as far south
as Holiday and Anclote. This view is looking southwest from a very narrow Jackson Street (lower left of photo) to an
unfinished Tennessee Avenue (lower right of photo). The Cotee River is winding its way from downtown (to the right but not
in photo), and in the distance you can see the Grand Boulevard Bridge. The small point on the south side of the river,
at about the lower left of this photograph, is an unfinished Madison Avenue, without the bridge.
You can see where Grand Boulevard intersects Gulf Drive just over the bridge, and so on to Craft Street, (just north of todays Marine Parkway and Grand Boulevard) where it straightens out and heads south to Elfers. This was the route of the earlier inhabitants of our area, to get to Tarpon Springs. Off in the distance, just before the Gulf waters, is a road stretching the width of the photograph, which is none other than U. S. 19 (also known as Highway 15 and State Route 55).
