So where ELSE would someone take a walk on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day? This seemed like a great idea to get out there and do something unique for Dr. MLK Jr. day. I took a walk on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. boulevard which is 9th street in St. Petersburg.
Funny thing, the signs on the other side of the street say "9th Street". I like this one.
At 9th Street and 54th Avenue in St. Petersburg, you'll see this Walgreens in one of the most amazing art deco buildings. This is the real deal though. I don't know when it was built, but the architecture is reminiscent of the late 50s or early 60s. It's such an interesting building, and usually it's seen from the window of my car, passing by at a brisk 35 miles per hour. But a walk on 9th street really gave me some time to appreciate it's artistic value. What if everything and everybody inside was old? Or they froze in time from the late 50s? Oooh, Twilight Zone time!
Hubby and I love Art Deco. We went to Miami and enjoyed visiting many sites where there was Art Deco items.
