General Review

Famed as Florida's "Springtime City" and "Summer City on the Gulf, " Clearwater is the seat of government for "Peerless Pinellas County," and visi- tors from throughout the world have proclaimed it one of the most beautiful com- munities in the U. S.

Set like a jewel on the highest coastal point in Florida, Clearwater is a city of hospitable homes, broad streets and avenues, and magnificent vistas of sea- scape and tropical beauties unsurpassed on the North American Continent. In many respects, Clearwater is a city untouched by the hand of the ruthless de- veloper, yet possessing in abundance the metropolitan chic of many larger tour- ist centers. There is an unmistakeable charm found in Clearwater, reminiscent

XII

INTRODUCTION

Garden Memorial Causeway

of the "Old South. " Here one finds the spreading oaks, festooned with Spanish moss. Here, too, the flaming poinsettia and hibiscus paint backgrounds with lavish color.

Clearwater stands at the hub of a vast network of highways, enabling the winter visitor to spend an entire season here while touring the state from Pinel- las County seat. Once visitors take up residence in Clearwater, however, few desire to journey further, because entertainment and recreation are found in abundance.

Clearwater is served by two trunk-line railroads-Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line. Both systems link Florida with other sections of the nation. Each operates both regular and deluxe trains between Clearwater and all points in the North, East and West without change or transfer. The visitor can entrain for Clearwater aboard such noted trains as the "Silver Meteor, " "Florida Sun- beam," "Orange Blossom Special" and "Southern States Special" via the Sea- board system, and the "Floridan" and "Dixieland, " and two crack Atlantic Coast Line trains. As a result of the superlative railroad service, visitors to Clearwater are able to board a train in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and many other cities, and remain in their cars as the Pullmans are whisked from winter's ice and snow to the scenic marvels of the sub-tropics.

An up-to-date system of passenger busses operates within the city, as well as between Clearwater and Tampa, Tarpon Springs, St. Petersburg and all points on the Florida East Coast.

Many visitors have remarked on the geographical similarity between Clear- water and Clearwater Beach and Miami and Miami Beach. In Clearwater, as in the Dade County metropolis, the mainland city is linked with the beach resort by a palm-lined causeway. Only in Clearwater, the visitor can gaze out across Memorial Causeway, built in tribute to the hero dead of World War I, from a vantage point found at no other place in Florida.

Sparkling with sapphire brilliance on the horizon is the Gulf of Mexico, teeming with fish of scores of varieties and ranging from the lowly mullet to the greatest fighter of the seas-the silver king tarpon. Between Clearwater and Clearwater Beach are two bridges, both open to fishermen. Bait is avail- able at the main drawbridge just west of the mainland approach to the causeway, and devotees of deep-sea fishing have at their disposal a fleet of charter craft, moored at the yacht basin on Clearwater Beach.

Clearwater Beach, as a Florida spa, has no equal. The beach itself com- prises a long, somewhat narrow key, with the bathing stripfacing the blue-green Gulf of Mexico on the west and Clearwater Bay on the east. On this island are all the attractions required for the perfect seaside vacation, including bathing pavilions, spacious hotels, a modernistic beach clubhouse, the clubhouse and

boat slips of the Clearwater Yacht Club, and broad winding boulevards lined with homes and apartments. On the north end of the island is located the exclu- sive Carlouel residential section, with its own Carlouel Club, tennis courts and boat slips.

Scene at Clearwater Beach

On the mainland, in the City Park, are located excellent facilities for lawn bowling, shuffleboard and horseshoe-pitching. Individual clubs have been or- ganized for these games, each having its own clubhouse where card parties and other social activities are participated in by the members and their friends.

Four splendid 18-hole golf courses are located within a four-mile radius of Clearwater. The 18-hole course of the Clearwater Country Club is one of the sportiest in the country and is open the year around. Those visiting here find this course more popular each season. A magnificent clubhouse, with artistic furnishings and commodious shower and locker rooms for both ladies and gentle- men, is available. The grass greens are large and scientifically designed and located. The fairways are just narrow enough to be interesting, stretching over rolling territory and natural hazards. It is a Herbert Strong layout.

Visitors to Clearwater find a community alive to its possibilities and sparked by an aggressive Chamber of Commerce. The service clubs of the city include Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Optimist, Pilot and Exchange, each meeting weekly. Veterans' organizations comprise the Turner-Brandon Post of the American Legion; Clearwater Chapter of Disabled American Veterans, Old Fort Harrison Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Clearwater Camp No. 40 of the United Spanish War Veterans, Marine Corps League and Retired Officers Club.

On the cultural side, Clearwater has one of the finest public libraries in Florida, that began 40 years ago with a small collection housed in one room over a downtown bank, and today has 60, 000 volumes. The library building on North Osceola Ave. and Sunset Court was presented to the community by Andrew Carnegie in 1916 and was enlarged in 1938. The library is open each week day from 9 A. M. to 8 P. M. except Wednesdays, when it closes at 5 P. M. in winter months and 12:30 P. M. in summer months. In addition to the excellent library, there is the Florida Gulf Coast Art Center. This is one of the most active groups in the city. An average of 17 exhibits are shown during the winter season, with and approximate attendance of 21, 000 visitors.

The above, together with the Tuesday Morning Music Club, Little Theatre, and various women's clubs, afford both visitors and residents, activities with a wide range of interest.

Clearwater and Pinellas County rank second in the state in the production of grapefruit, and fourth in all other citrus. Some of the finest groves in the land are located just outside the city limits, and Clearwater is the marketing center in the county for this crop.

DUNEDIN

FLORIDA'S COMPLETE WINTER AND SUMMER RESIDENCE CITY, QUICKLY AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE

"THE BEAUTY SPOT OF PINELLAS COUNTY"

(Courtesy Dunedin Chamber of Commerce)

Dunedin is primarily a home community, and has anattractive setting facing westward along a three-mile shore line on the waters of St. Joseph's Bay. Edge- water and Victoria drives and Bayshore Boulevard, along the shores of the bay, constitute as beautiful a scenic drive as is to be found anywhere. Families and names of national prominence are among the winter residents who own and oc- cupy homes in this attractive community. The palm-lined avenues, evergreen oaks, camphor and other trees and shrubs, flowering plants and native foliage make a beautiful setting.

The churches, schools, public library, a modern and well-staffed hospital, parks, civic and service clubs, fraternal organizations, a new air-conditioned moving-picture theatre, together with an "all-year" climate, provide for full enjoyment of life both as a winter home and as a permanent residence. All that can be desired for a full life of health and happiness is found in Dunedin.

The Dunedin Shuffleboard Club holds frequent tournaments in City Park, which is located on the shore of the bay, and includes facilities for roque, card games, checkers, horseshoe-pitching and a tennis court equipped with flood- lights for night play.

The Dunedin municipal water supply is considered one of the best and purest in Florida, and people from miles around bring their water bottles to be filled with this pure water.

Dunedin has perfect natural drainage and sanitation, and is a modern city with every convenience and utility service of the self-contained municipality.

The industrial backbone of Dunedin is furnished by Minute Maid Corp., which produces not only concentrated citrus juices, shipped all over the world, but manufactures other by-products from the vast supply of citrus fruit from the orange and grapefruit groves that surround Dunedin. Skinner-Moser Manufac- turers is Dunedin's newest industry.

The Municipal Yacht Basin, adjoining the park, is one of the most attrac- tive and safest boat harbors in the state. The Yacht Basin is owned and operated by the City of Dunedin, and offers accommodations to all types of power and sailing craft.

The Dunedin Boat Club sponsors frequent races in the Bay and Gulf. Three miles of shore line represent one of Dunedin's chief assets, with the surround- ing waters providing boating and fishing throughout the year. The waters off Dunedin abound in a variety of kingfish, mackerel, grouper, trout, black bass and many other varieties of salt-water and fresh-water fish that furnish an ever - present interest for the angler.

Dunedin is quickly accessible to any city in Florida, with paved highways and bus lines running north, east and south, and by train is within 24 hours of the principal Northern points. Through and direct train service is provided by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The corporate limits of Dunedin on the south adjoin Clearwater, and Dunedin is 25 miles west of Tampa and 23 miles north of St. Petersburg.

There are four modern and luxurious hotels in Dunedin: The Fenway, the Hotel Dunedin, the Jersey House and the Yacht Club Inn, all operated under owner-management and furnishing the best accommodations for the tourist and visitor.

Houses and apartments, furnished and unfurnished, are available at reason- able prices, and rooms are available in private homes for visitors.
