At last a video touring interesting and in this case historical sites and structures. It was a pleasure to see this video and hear from a person who knows "how to read and write(a phrase I use when appropriate) and in this case it is!! Thank you
I will be viewing this video again and taking pictures of some of the historical structures and will be doing drawings and watercolours of them. Thank you again for the wonderful video.
Pleasantly surprised to see the Sopchoppy Gymnasium on the list. Definitely off the beaten path. The old depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the last few years and is a museum of area history.
Sopchoppy is a great little town and the gym is an interesting building. I'd love to get a look inside. At some point I plan to cover some of the state's historic depots and that one may make the list.
It's not really surprising. Florida doesn't do a great job on teaching about history. There's some interesting historic buildings in Kissimmee and St. Cloud too!
Great video. Lived in Florida my entire life all over the State. Never heard of most of these places. I may be wrong but I think the Trinity Espiscopal church in downtown St. Augustine is the oldest church from the 1700's. I just couldn't take the humidity anymore or how St. Augustine totally was changed and ruined. Today it's a souless nightmare. I believe there would still be many old buildings standing but St. Augustine was always such a cheap little town full of uneducated people and no real opportunity. There should be a book written about the dark side of St. Augustine. No one dares.
They began construction on Trinity Episcopal in 1825. And yes, I think St. Augustine had a lot of interesting things in the 70s when I was there that it doesn't today, but on the plus side, the history of the city is told much more accurately than in the past do to more serious research by dedicated professionals.
@@StingrayTomsFlorida Yeah? That surely doesn't apply to the trolley train drivers and the kids leading the ghost tours at night. It's all one big pack of lies and mistruths. Sad thing is the tourists buy it all. Tom in the 80's I couldn't go anywhere day or night in Auggietown without knowing just about everyone at least their face. Just spent 13 months there never to return and I saw No one I knew. Was there from '84 to 2016. Bye! But keep up the great quality work. The past was the real Florida, not today.
Soulless nightmare? Full of uneducated people? Those are pretty harsh words. I visited St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach just 2 weeks ago and it's a beautiful place and I didn't encounter one troublesome person. Far from this "soulless nightmare" that you speak of.
