It is also known as the Sunrise City, sister to San Francisco, California, the Sunset City. When I lived in South Florida for Forty Years I really loved to drive up the coast to Fort Pierce. I spent many days getting there early before Sunrise and swimming and surfing at the beach. I'd always pack up the truck with a cooler full of food and drinks. I've got pleasant memories of a clean place to live. I'd definitely consider living here if I intended to move back to Florida. I like the current demographics. Fort Pierce is not a party atmosphere like the South Florida Gold Coast. It was a getaway to me. I'm recommending you visit.

Through the years Rotary expanded to include humanitarian missions. Today Rotary International is a network of 1.4 million people who work together to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, save mothers and children, support education, grow local economies, and protect the environment. The original coquina rock Rotary fountain was built on this site in 1931. It was a Public drinking fountain in honor of Charles H. Pettibone, a minister from Colorado who organized the Community Church and the first Rotary club in Vero Beach. Eventually the fountain deteriorated and was torn down. In 2005, the five Rotary clubs of Indian River county came together to create this Centennial Fountain to replace the 1931 fountain and to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Rotary International. it is now a lovely spot in downtown historic Vero Beach that reminds people of the great work of Rotary International while also serving as a popular backdrop in the photos of the people who come to visit.

This historic theater building opened on October 20, 1924 in Vero Beach. It was previously known as…read morethe Vero Theatre or Florida Theatre. The 800-seat theatre was designed by architect F.H. Trimble and was the city's first motion picture theatre. The building was designed in Mediterranean Revival style that was popular in Florida during the land boom years in the 1920's. It has the stucco exterior walls and terra cotta decorative tiles that were popular style elements of the time. On opening day, the first feature film shown was The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Even a potential hurricane with torrential rain could not stop people from coming out even though the rain resulted in the flooding of the theatre's $10,400 pipe organ temporarily putting it out of commission. This theatre is directly responsible for the creation of Indian River County. In 1925, St. Lucie County Sheriff J.R. Merritt began Sunday raids of the theater to enforce the county's blue laws which restricted certain businesses and activities on Sunday. Farmers enjoyed taking their families to town on Sunday to watch a film and pointed out that blue laws ere not enforced in St. Lucie. The theater manager William Atkin, ticket seller William Frick and theater operator Henry Metz were all arrested. Eventually even the first mayor and part theatre owner Rep. A.W. Young was also arrested. in response Vero representatives went to Tallahassee to form their own county, The Legislature approved the bill in May, naming Vero the county seat of the new Indian River County. Governor John Martin signed it into law in June 1925 creating Indian River County. The last film to be shown in the theatre was Desperately Seeking Susan. The theatre closed shortly after due to competition from larger, more modern movie theaters. This was the only movie theater in Vero Beach before World War II, and is one of the last commercial buildings from the 1920's in downtown Vero. In 1990, the building was purchased and turned into apartments upstairs and retail stores on the ground level. Over the years, there have been intermittent efforts to refurbish the inside of the theater. On April 28, 1992 the historic theater was added to the National register of Historic Places. Today new life is being brought to the old building with the opening of businesses like Downtown Dippers, an ice cream shop.

Kudos for the movie collection of DVDs. Extensive DVD collection that is well curated. This library has probably the most extensive smart selection of DVDs under one roof of any library I have been to in a long while as it has easily the best selection of movies of all 17 branches of the Brevard County Libraries. This would be the library that Roger Ebert would have loved. One favorite part of this library is the Rock Concert DVDs as they had heaps of live concerts from an eclectic range of bands & solo artists. I picked up seven for there was some really good stuff here. Besides DVDs there is a nice quiet reading room w/ comfy chairs. Worth checking out!

This marker is part of the Florida Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular and valued public history programs. The markers raise awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, forts, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, churches. historic buildings and roads like this one. Historic marker F-404 was installed in 1999 by the St. Johns River Water Management District, Indian River County Historical Society, and Florida Department of State. The Fellsmere Grade is an old road that was a vital transportation route in the early 20th century, connecting Fellsmere to the surrounding areas. Promoted as the Fellsmere-Tampa cross state road, this road allowed travel between the interior and the coast by crossing over the St. Johns River marshes. This allowed access to the town by sportsman who were vital for Fellsmere economy. In the late 1940's the Fellsmere Grade bridges burned across the river and the road ended in the marsh six miles from this site. Today this road serves the public as access to the Fellsmere Grade Recreation Area which is a part of the head waters of the St. John's River. This area was created to help restore the river's functions while providing flood protection down stream. Farmlands were turned back into marshland, nearly eliminating fresh water discharges into the Indian River Lagoon from the C-54 canal. This 10,000 acre wetland is one of the largest wetland restoration projects in history, giving b back lost habitat to wildlife, waterfowl and fish.
