Historically St. Pete w/Rui Farias: 1925 Retrospective 100 Years Ago

In this episode of Historically St. Pete, Rui Farias (executive director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History) and Nanette Wiser talk about what St. Pete was like 100 years ago in 1925. From building booms to hotel, baseball to the opening of the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, Coliseum, Gandy Bridge, St. Pete Kennel Club (later known as Derby Lane), Crescent Lake Baseall Park, the Jordan Dance Hall (later known as the Manhattan Casino) and hotels (Soreno, Princess Martha, The Vinoy Park Hotel), 1925 in the Sunshine City was as busy as the 2025 in downtown. A fascinating look back to today's icons. https://spmoh.com/  (Photo courtesy of Chapman Deadball Collection- Babe Ruth 1925)
