Tour of Lightner Museum & Alcazar Hotel - St Augustine - June 15, 2012
This tour was part of the 2012 Cadillac LaSalle Grand National held in St Augustine Florida.
Opened in 1889 with its huge indoor pool with retractable roof, casino, spa, movie theatre, and all the amenities of a premier luxury hotel, Henry Flagler's Alcazar Hotel was truly a majestic hotel. Turned into a museum by Chicago publisher Otto C. Lightner in 1948 and donated to the city, this is a must see site if you visit St Augustine. I also recommend reading about its fascinating history at the following Wikipedia link: wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightner_Museum . A highlight for me was having lunch in the café that was once the swimming pool. They have converted the side areas into shops and can see the slope of the pool walls.

Driving Around: TARPON SPRINGS, Florida - Sponge Docks, Downtown, Fred Howard Beach, & More
Come Drive Along as we explore beautiful Tarpon Springs, Florida on the Gulf Coast, not far from Tampa Bay. Located in Pinellas County, Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the US. and is known as the Sponge Capital of the United States.
History (from Wikipedia):
The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, was first settled by white and black farmers and fishermen around 1876. Some of the newly arrived visitors spotted tarpon jumping out of the waters and so named the location Tarpon Springs. In 1882, Hamilton Disston, who in the previous year had purchased the land where the city of Tarpon Springs now stands, ordered the creation of a town plan for the future city. On February 12, 1887, Tarpon Springs became the first incorporated city in what is now Pinellas County. Less than a year later on January 13, 1888, the Orange Belt Railway, the first railroad line to be built in what is now Pinellas County, arrived in the city. During this time the area was developed as a wintering spot for wealthy northerners.
In the 1880s, John K. Cheyney founded the first local sponge business. The industry continued to grow in the 1890s. Many people from Key West and the Bahamas settled in Tarpon Springs to hook sponges and then process them. A few Greek immigrants also arrived in this city during the 1890s to work in the sponge industry.
In 1905, John Cocoris introduced the technique of sponge diving to Tarpon Springs by recruiting divers and crew members from Greece. The first divers came from the Saronic Gulf islands of Aegina and Hydra, but they were soon outnumbered by those from the Dodecanese islands of Kalymnos, Symi and Halki. The sponge industry soon became one of the leading maritime industries in Florida and the most important business in Tarpon Springs, generating millions of dollars a year. The 1953 film Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, depicting the sponge industry, takes place and was filmed in Tarpon Springs.
In 1947, a red tide algae bloom wiped out the sponge fields in the Gulf of Mexico, causing many of the sponge boats and divers to switch to shrimping for their livelihood, while others left the business. Eventually, the sponges recovered, allowing for a smaller but consistent sponge industry today. In the 1980s, the sponge business experienced a boom due to a sponge disease that killed the Mediterranean sponges. Today there is still a small active sponge industry. Visitors can often view sponge fishermen working at the Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard. In addition, visitors can enjoy shops, restaurants, and museum exhibits that detail Tarpon Springs' Greek heritage.
In 2007 and 2008, the City of Tarpon Springs established Sister City relationships with Kalymnos, Halki, Symi, and Larnaca, Cyprus, honoring the close historical link with these Greek-speaking islands.
On this drive, you'll see the Historic Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard which also has a multitude of shops, restaurants, and attractions. Next, we pass through the Historic Downtown area with its many antiques shops. We then drive through beautiful residential areas wrapped around what looks like lakes but are actually bayous. Entering Fred Howard Park, we drive down a forest road. Suddenly, the trees give way to a spectacular water-lined driveway across Howard Park Causeway to Howard Park Beach located in Saint Joseph Sound and overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. We then travel through more residential areas as we head back to the Sponge Docks. Finally, we take a brief stroll around at night on New Year's Day!

Goethals Memorial School (School Anthem)
Goethals Memorial School is a boarding school run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in India. It is set amid forest 5 km from Kurseong town, between Siliguri and Darjeeling at an altitude of 5500 feet above sea level. The school was founded in 1907, and is named after Jesuit Archbishop of Calcutta, Paul Goethals. The land for the school was donated by the Maharaja of Bardhaman.
Goethals attracts students from Northeastern Indian states, Nepal and Bangladesh. It follows the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education curriculum, and has classes from standard 3 to standard 10.
History:
On the death of Paul Goethals, Archbishop of Calcutta, in July 1901 the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Calcutta commemorated his memory by the establishment of an educational institution for boys in Kurseong.
In February 1907 classes started in the building erected by the first Principal Br. M.S.O Brien (1907-1914). The number of boys in residence was 110. The official opening took place on 30 April, 1907.
The first prospectus had in view the affiliation of the School to the Sibpur Engineering College, Calcutta. However, the Sub Overseer Course did not fit with the needs of the pupils and was dropped in favour of the Cambridge Locals. The Cambridge Exams continued until the 1970s when the school switched to the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education curriculum.
