YEA!

I am glad you posted this, I had been following that post but missed the good news somehow

Awesome! You deserve it!

Be safe driving back to Texas & I am reading but am I missing ...

Is it a 3 Door ???

Your 'old' Yaris is a Coupe I know... (where's the suspense smile?)

OK, I see now, it's a COUPE!

Thanks! Yeah, I finished that post quite late at a new Mickey D's in the eastern part of Dunedin (away from the water)...lobby open til at least midnight... before heading back to my hotel. I had just driven up Gulf Blvd from the Pass-A-Grille neighborhood in St. Pete's Beach all the way up to Clearwater Beach. I had only driven about 95 miles, but I wanted to get my first 'Fill up'...where.I'll start 'calculating' (my log book)...at the station closest to Pass-a-Grille. I just love that area. YW member Jambo101 posted (on another forum...not YW) a picture (don't know if he found it, or took the picture) taken from the rooftop (3rd floor, 4th floor?) of the Hurricane Restaurant in Pass-a-Grille. The photo = looking up the beach extending all the way to Clearwater Beach. Beautiful photo. I saw that photo in 2012 and saved it. It is more like I remember that area when I was last there in 2012. There have long been some high-rises in some of the southern parts of that sweep of beach and to the far north in Clearwater Beach...but the area in between was largely unspoiled...mostly modest SFRs, and some very low-rise condos. Yesterday I noticed in 'that middle' (except for Bellaire Beach) = many developers must have paid a bit over market to convince locals to sell until they had parcels large enough for their projects. I imagine the developers spread some gold to the cities (the planting and the bike path does look better). Those cities in the middle of that stretch, I'd imagine, might have struggled a bit in the past re a smallish retail tax base. Increased development re these new projects will help with that, but the best part about that area was that it had charm...unlike places with canyons of high rises...Panama City, FL and Orange Beach, AL come to mind. I'm glad I spent time in this middle area before this recent spat of development. I don't think this can happen to Pass-a-Grille...I think that is an area that has some sort of historic preservation status. I continued my drive into Dunedin (near the water). A little bit of this development has crept into Dunedin, but there appears to be a cap on height (4 stories). I hope Dunedin retains the charm that it still has.
