I haven't been back to St. Petersburg since 1977, so I'm curious to see how it has changed. I-275 wasn't even built yet and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were just awarded the franchise.
I miss spoke the one school, it was Haines Elementary on Haines Rd. Woodlawn is on 16th st. I did a google street view of our old neighborhood. The palms and pines are gone with big oak trees in their place. 50 yrs makes a big difference.
