Here is a black and white photograph of the old pier in downtown St Petersburg Florida. It was taken shortly before its demolition began.
When I moved to St Pete in the early 2000’s one of my favorite things to do was walk to the pier and hang out. There were still shops and restaurants, people fishing, boating, the old wooden sailing ship from the movie “The Bounty”.
It was to me a representation of the Florida people came to visit while on vacation.
Even though I lived in downtown St Pete, it gave me the feeling I was on vacation every time I visited.
I have never visited the new pier, having moved to Colorado in 2018. Someday maybe, or not.
The memories of the old pier will always stay with me as one of the bright spots of my time there, and this image condenses my feelings of missing that in one image.
