I remember when I was about 14 riding my bike in downtown St. Petersburg and going by the front of the Soreno Hotel, that was one the big pink hotels that was torn down about 25 years ago. Yogi Berra was sitting out front on one of the green benches and looked like he was being interviewed. Some reporter type was sitting there with a pad writing stuff down.
They still have the other pink hotel, The Vinoy which is where I learned to play golf when I was about 12. They had a little nine hole Par 3 I could play all day for $3.
The Don Caesar is still there on St. Pete Beach.
