They then opened my bedroom door, accidently I'm sure, apologized and shut it. I then emerged from my bedroom to find the door had been left wide open, when I asked if the could close it, I was yelled at " No" I said I have 2 cats, I need that door shut! He begrudgingly shut it. When he said I had a bit of an attitude, I lost it and we were in the midst of a screaming match. One started yelling, call the cops, on what? A little girl who yelled at you? I said "I was closed in my room, one of your guys opened my door" he then said no we didn't, you did! Now I am a lot of things, but never a liar. I am, to say the least, very disappointed in East lake fire rescue! Hooray for ALL other fire departments, disappointed in East Lake

It's nice to have a firehouse just around the block. In case of an emergency and such. Station 11…read morewas kind enough to show up the other night when I failed to turn off the smoke alarm in a timely manner. Not knowing the broiling steak was going to smoke so much and not having the wherewithal of knowing how to turn on the stove fan, we were met by the fire chief within five minutes. By this time I had the fan going and the windows open. The steak was fine and I could see the relief in his face that he wouldn't have to come in with extinguishers, axes or hoses. I felt bad knowing there could have been an extreme emergency somewhere else at the time. A part of me wanted to invite them in for a bite but they were on duty and I hadn't enough food anyway. I'll make it up to them somehow. Station 11 is interesting. It's mainly a marine rescue/dive company though they have all the firefighting equipment. There's eight men on duty at any given time. My hat off to them for their service!

As a fan of architecture I was especially excited to check out the historic section of Tarpon…read moreSprings. One of the architecturally significant buildings I discovered was the Old City Hall. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 10, 1990. The Old City Hall stands as a symbol of the city's commitment to preserving its historical heritage. The Old City Hall was constructed in 1915 during a period of significant economic and population growth in Tarpon Springs. The Neoclassical design gives the building a distinctive and timeless appearance. The architectural design was the work of renowned Atlanta architect Ernest Ivey Cook in the neoclassical style. The building was constructed by J.B. McCreary. For many years, Tarpon Springs Old City Hall served as the administrative and governmental center for the city. It housed various municipal offices, including those of the mayor, city council, and other administrative departments. It also housed the public library, the fire department on the south end, and the police department on the north end. The building also played a role in civic activities and community events. On the second floor was the city council and courtroom. One of the notable features of the Old City Hall is its clock tower, which has become an iconic symbol of Tarpon Springs. The clock tower was added later in the 1930s and has since become a recognizable landmark in the city. Over time, as the city's needs and infrastructure evolved, new facilities were constructed to accommodate the growing demands of a modern municipality. Tarpon Springs Old City Hall eventually ceased to serve as the primary administrative building, and its role shifted. In 2009, recognizing the historical significance of the structure, the Old City Hall underwent restoration efforts to preserve its architectural integrity and historical charm. The restoration project aimed to maintain the building's original character while ensuring its adaptation for contemporary use. Today, Tarpon Springs Old City Hall has been repurposed to house the Tarpon Springs Cultural Arts Center showcasing performing arts, theater, concerts, and art exhibitions. The Old City Hall has seen Tarpon Springs grow from its early days as a sponge fishing village into a vibrant and diverse community. Its preservation and adaptive reuse contribute to the cultural and historical identity of Tarpon Springs, allowing present and future generations to connect with the city's past. In 2020 the City of Tarpon Springs, and the Florida Department of State installed historic marker number F-1133 in front of the building.

All fenced in so you don't have to worry about your kiddos running off. It can get pretty busy on days where school is out. My only complaint is that sometimes there are older kids (10 or so) who play aggressively and will take out the toddlers or younger kiddos.
