Driving Downtown - Dallas Texas USA - Episode 39.
Starting Point: .
Dallas is a major city in the state of Texas and is the largest urban center of the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the United States. The city proper ranks ninth in the U.S. and third in Texas after Houston and San Antonio.[8][9] The city's prominence arose from its historical importance as a center for the oil and cotton industries, and its position along numerous railroad lines.
Neighborhoods
Central Dallas is anchored by Downtown, the center of the city, along with Oak Lawn and Uptown, areas characterized by dense retail, restaurants, and nightlife. Downtown Dallas has a variety of named districts, including the West End Historic District, the Arts District, the Main Street District, Farmers Market District, the City Center business district, the Convention Center District, and the Reunion District.
Economy
The city's economy is primarily based on banking, commerce, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare and medical research, and transportation and logistics. The city is home to the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the nation (behind New York City and Houston).
In 2007–08, Comerica Bank and AT&T located their headquarters in Dallas. Additional Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Dallas include Energy Transfer Equity, HollyFrontier, Southwest Airlines, Tenet Healthcare, Texas Instruments, Dean Foods, Trinity Industries, and Energy Future Holdings. Irving is home to 6 Fortune 500 companies of its own, including ExxonMobil, the most profitable company in the world and the second largest by revenue for 2015,[90] Kimberly-Clark, Fluor (engineering), Commercial Metals, Celanese, and Pioneer Natural Resources.[90] Additional companies headquartered in the Metroplex include American Airlines, Regency Energy Partners, Atmos Energy, Neiman Marcus, 7-Eleven, Brinker International, Primoris Services, Radio Shack, D.R. Horton, AMS Pictures, id Software, ENSCO Offshore Drilling, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Chuck E. Cheese's, Zales and Fossil.
According to Forbes magazine's annual list of The Richest People in America published September 21, 2011, the city itself is now home to 17 billionaires, up from 14 in 2009. In 2009 (with 14 billionaires) the city placed 6th worldwide among cities with the most billionaires.[94][95] The ranking does not even take into account the 8 billionaires who live in the neighboring city of Fort Worth.
Dallas is currently the third most popular destination for business travel in the United States, and the Dallas Convention Center is one of the largest and busiest convention centers in the country, at over 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2), and the world's single-largest column-free exhibit hall.
Events
The most notable event held in Dallas is the State Fair of Texas, which has been held annually at Fair Park since 1886. The fair is a massive event, bringing in an estimated $350 million to the city's economy annually. The Red River Shootout, which pits the University of Texas at Austin against The University of Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl also brings significant crowds to the city. The city also hosts the State Fair Classic and Heart of Dallas Bowl at the Cotton Bowl.
Sports
The Dallas metropolitan area is home to six major league sports teams: the Dallas Cowboys (National Football League), Dallas Mavericks (National Basketball Association), Texas Rangers (Major League Baseball), Dallas Stars (National Hockey League), FC Dallas (Major League Soccer), and Dallas Wings (Women's National Basketball Association).
The Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League play in nearby Arlington, Texas. Since joining the league as an expansion team in 1960, the Cowboys have enjoyed substantial success, advancing to eight Super Bowls and winning five; according to profootballreference.com, as of the end of the 2009 season they were the winningest active NFL franchise. Known widely as America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys are financially the most valuable sports 'franchise' in the United States, worth approximately 1.5 billion dollars.[122] In 2009, the Cowboys relocated to their new 80,000-seat stadium in Arlington, which was the site of Super Bowl XLV.
The Dallas Mavericks play at the American Airlines Center. They won their first National Basketball Association championship in 2011 led by Dirk Nowitzki.

Travelling from St. Petersburg to Sitka Cruising Alaska on an Alaskan Cruise
As the marine highway winds its way north , it stops
At many small towns along the way. For towns like wrangell,
The ferry is the main link with the outside world.
Locals use it for visits to other towns along the
Route and of course tourists and adventure seekers
Use the ferry to get to jumping off points such as this.
After the wrangell narrows, the bright
And beautiful town of petersburg beams a velkomen --
which means welcome in norwegian. And the people
of this town mean it!
The clear cold water and stately fjords on this extreme
Tip of mitdof island reminded peter buschmann so much
Of his native norway that he settled here.
Other scandanavians joined him and built petersburg --
An alaskan town with a distinctly european flavor.
as in other towns of the inside passage, the people of
Petersburg make their living from the forest and the sea.
the traditional norwegian art of rosemaling
Decorates buildings as it does in norway. Even the painted
Shutters here recall that other much loved place
On waters far away.
On days like this when the clouds part and the
Snow-bright mountains appear, petersburg is a
Place that's hard to leave.
But the marine highway goes on and another beautiful
city with a different history awaits.
Sitka rests at
the foot of spruce covered mountains and overlooks
The blue waters of the sound where a chain of small
wooded islands repeats the endlessly lovely theme
of forests meeting sea.
this desirable setting has made sitka one of history's
Prizes.
Sitka began as a tlingit indian village until the russian
alexander baranoff, the commander of a fur hunting
Party, built a fort here in 1799. The tlingit indians
Rebelled and in a surprise attack destroyed the fort.
baranoff retreated to return with warships and
Decisively defeated the tlinget. This plaque marks the
Site of the battle. Baranof then built a castle on this
Hill but only the cannon remains today.
Sitka soon became a flourishing town. It was here
that the russian flag was lowered in 1867 when the united
States bought all of alaska from russia for the then
Outrageous price of $7.2 million dollars. Sitka became
The capital of the new territory until the early 1900's
when it was moved to Juneau.
Timber, fishing, and government keep sitka thriving -
And tourism is growing. St. Michaels, with it's onion
Dome is one of the finest examples of rural russian architecture.
When this 150 year old church burned down in 1966,
The townspeople saved the doors and priceless icons
And rebuilt the church exactly.
This stately building is the first of five homes the
state of alaska has built for its older citizens. The old
pioneers home honors the original settlers of alaska and the
Statue of the old pioneer was modelled after skagway bill Fonda.
The sheldon jackson museum houses an
excellent collection of antique and modern indian artifacts
And totem poles. In its own way this native art is a forceful
and graphic history of the events that shaped the region.
Nearby, sheldon jackson college operates a salmon
Hatchery which visitors can observe from viewing platforms.
beyond the hatchery, the yacht harbor lies nestled
in a beautiful natural harbor....... One of the reasons
why sitka became the first capital of Alaska.
Bill Foster Makes It Formal
3/02 - Pioneer Park in downtown St. Petersburg welcomed a crowd of over 150 to listen to former St. Petersburg City Councilman Bill Foster make it official: hes in the race for Mayor.
After a brief introduction and opening prayer, Mr. Foster took to the podium and outlined what he called a campaign of ideas, solutions and experience.
NHC watching a trough of low pressure near the Bahamas
A trough of low pressure located over the central and northwestern Bahamas is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some slow development is possible by this weekend or early next week while the system moves northwestward toward the Florida peninsula at 5 to 10 mph and then turns northeastward off the southeastern coast of the United States.
SECRETS OF THE STATES - FLORIDA
Dennis Daily salutes each of the 50 states in a 50-day series of one-minute radio reports. Today he looks at a little-known aspect of FLORIDA.
Driving Across the Boca Grande Causeway in Florida
The Boca Grande Causeway is a causeway located in Charlotte County, Florida connecting the community of Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island with the mainland near Placida. The 2.5 mile causeway crosses Gasparilla Sound and consists of three bridges, and is the only vehicular access to the island.
History
The causeway was built parallel to the now abandoned Charlotte Harbor & Northern Railway bridges
The Boca Grande Causeway originally opened in 1958 after six years of construction, replacing a vehicle ferry service. The causeway was built parallel to the now abandoned Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway. Passenger rail service to the island was discontinued by the railroad shortly after the causeway opened. While the railroad was abandoned in 1981, the adjacent trestles remain mostly intact today and are visible from the causeway.[1]
The Causeway was privately built, but was sold to the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority, a government agency created to oversee operation of the causeway, in 1998.[2] The northernmost bridge (connecting to the mainland) includes a 213 ft swing span over the navigation channel. The swing bridge, which is one of a few remaining swing bridges in Florida, is 13 feet tall at its highest point. The center and south bridges are fixed span bridges, and are 12 feet and 25 feet tall respectively.[3]
Bridge Replacement
The Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority has been gradually replacing the original bridges since the mid 2000s. Replacements for the center and south bridges were completed in 2013.[4][5] The swing bridge is the causeway's only original bridge from 1958 still in operation, although its replacement, which will be a similar swing bridge, is under construction and is set to be completed by late 2016. The new bridges are taller and also include shoulders for bicycle traffic allowing improved access for bicyclists using the popular Boca Grande Bike Path better access to the mainland and to the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail.[6]
Sculptor on first women s statue for Central Park
(21 Nov 2019) Sculptor Meredith Bergmann recognizes the honor of creating the first statue of women in New York's Central Park.
Bergmann's monument to three leaders in the fight for women's rights - Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth - will take its place among the 23 statues of men and two fictional women - Mother Goose and Alice in Wonderland - currently in the park.
I think about what it would have meant to me as a child to see this monument, to know these histories. I think about the size of it, the scale of it, where it will be and who it will affect. And I am incredibly moved to have been chosen to add this to New York City, Bergmann said.
Bergmann pointed out that her statue is a contemporary take on the 19th century monument that should have been built for these women and wasn't.
It has taken six years for the statue to become a reality.
The effort was spearheaded by the nonprofit Monumental Women which has raised $1.5 million to fund the statue.
The idea initially met opposition from park officials who balked at putting any more statues in the 166-year-old park.
So we said, could you show me where that is written. Is it a law or a regulation or some sort of codification of 'There shall be no other statues' ? And of course they couldn't because they made it up as they went along, Pam Elam, president of Monumental Women pointed out.
Final approval was granted in October after several redesigns and the addition of Sojourner Truth, an escaped slave and women's rights activist.
There were different changes and I think there was a concern that there'd be a woman of color who was part, she was part of the decision making for all of us to vote. And Sojourner Truth also was a New Yorker, Gale Brewer, the Manhattan Borough President, said.
The original design was chosen from 91 entries.
Bergmann says the current design shows a slice in time open to interpretation.
It's a group of three women in conversation, the exact moment in the conversation is up to you to decide who is listening to whom, who is speaking to whom, Bergmann said.
The monumental task of creating the nine-foot (2.7-meter) tall statue has put Bergmann on a tight timeline.
Because of the time urgency of this project, which working backward from August 2020, when they are to be unveiled, we need a number of weeks for installation, four to six months for bronze casting, which means six months for bronze casting and then a month for mold making. I have to finish these by the end of this month, Bergmann said.
The monument will be dedicated on August 26, 2020 marking the 100th anniversary of American women winning the right to vote.

Flagler College (Ponce de León Hotel) in St Augustine, Florida #TravelTips
Flagler College (Ponce de León Hotel) in St Augustine, Florida #TravelTips
Flagler College is a private four-year liberal arts college in St. Augustine, Florida. It was founded in 1968 and offers 29 majors and 34 minors.
Founded in 1968, the campus comprises 19 acres (77,000 m2), the centerpiece of which is the Ponce de León Hotel, built in 1888 as a luxury hotel. The architects were John Carrere and Thomas Hastings, working for Henry Morrison Flagler, the industrialist, oil magnate and railroad pioneer. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Ponce de Leon Hotel, also known as The Ponce, was an exclusive luxury hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, built by millionaire developer and Standard Oil co-founder Henry M. Flagler and completed in 1888. The hotel was designed in the Spanish Renaissance style as the first major project of the New York architecture firm Carrère & Hastings, which would go on to gain world renown.
The hotel was the first of its kind constructed entirely of poured concrete, using the local coquina stone as aggregate. The hotel was also one of the first buildings in the country wired for electricity from the onset, with the power being supplied by DC generators installed by Flagler's friend, Thomas Edison.

The Chihuly Collection In St. Pete Features Glass Art Movement
The Dale Chihuly Collection in downtown St. Petersburg, is all made out of glass. His use of color and asymmetrical shapes make his work unique. Chihuly, is a pioneer in the studio glass movement. He has been creating glass work for more than 40 years.
Glass is made by heating sand at a temperature of 1700 °C until it becomes liquid. Sand undergoes a complete transformation when transformed into glass.
It’s in one of the main art districts in the United States. The collection is part of the Morean Arts Center in downtown St. Petersburg, located in 720 Central Avenue.
“Because we already have the Dali Museum, there was already history of single artist museums here in St. Pete,” said Andy Schlauch, executive director of the Chihuly Collection and the glass studio at the Morean Arts Studio.
This collection is the first installation of Chihuly’s art in a building all designed specifically to showcase his work. Most of Chihuly’s pieces start at $5,000, these small pieces take approximately 30 minutes to create, it all depends on the layers of color added.
“It is owned by the Morean Arts Center, they purchased a vast collection of Artwork by Dale Chihuly … with the intention that they would create a permanent exhibition,” said Schlauch.
Unlike traditional art museums, this collection encourages people to get up close and personal with the pieces.
“When you come to see Chihuly’s work you don’t see it, you experience it,” said Schlauch.
Dale Chihuly’s glass work is now in over 200 different museums.
The displays showcase glass bowls, flowers and massive chandeliers.
“I think it is worth coming through to see Dale’s work because if you see it once, then every time you see a piece in other cities or in other places where they have one, it will resonate with you, and you’ll realize that it’s a Dale Chihuly,” said Ryan Weiner, at The Chihuly Collection.
Tickets include a live glass blowing demonstration by local St. Petersburg artists.
“Everyone comes out saying how much they love it, and how amazed they are by it,” said Schlauch.
Admission costs $19.95 for adults, $17.95 for senior citizens, $12.95 for students, and children 5 and under are free.
“The gallery is interesting, the pieces are what I expected them to be,” said Paul Carroll, visitor.
The Morean Arts center opens Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday’s from noon to 5 p.m.

Tampa (/ˈtæmpə/)[11] is a major city in, and the county seat of, Hillsborough County, Florida, United States.[12] It is located on the west coast of Florida on Tampa Bay, near the Gulf of Mexico, and is the largest city in the Tampa Bay Area. The city had a population of 335,709 at the 2010 census,[5] and an estimated population of 377,165 in 2016.[13]
Archaeological evidence indicates that the shores of Tampa Bay were inhabited by indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The Safety Harbor culture developed in the area around the year 1000 AD, and the descendant Tocobaga and Pohoy chiefdoms were living in or near the current city limits of Tampa when the area was first visited by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Interactions between native peoples and the Spanish were brief and often violent, and although the newcomers did not stay for long, they introduced European diseases which brought the total collapse of native societies across the entire Florida peninsula over the ensuing decades. Although Spain claimed all of Florida and beyond as part of New Spain, it did not found a colony on the west coast. After the disappearance of the indigenous populations, there were no permanent settlements in the Tampa Bay area until after the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821.
In 1824, the United States Army established a frontier outpost called Fort Brooke at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, near the site of today's Tampa Convention Center downtown. The first civilian residents were pioneer ranchers and farmers who settled near the fort for protection from the nearby Seminole population.
The town grew slowly, and had become a minor shipping port for cattle and citrus by the time of the United States Civil War. Tampa Bay was blockaded by the United States Navy during the war, and Tampa fell into a long period of economic stagnation that continued long after the war ended.
The situation finally improved in the 1880s, when the first railroad links, the discovery of phosphate, and the arrival of the cigar industry jump-started its development, helping Tampa to grow from an isolated village with less than 800 residents in 1880 to a bustling city of over 30,000 by the early 1900s.
Today, Tampa is part of the metropolitan area most commonly referred to as the Tampa Bay Area. For U.S. Census purposes, Tampa is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. The four-county area is composed of roughly 2.9 million residents,[4] making it the second largest metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the state, and the fourth largest in the Southeastern United States, behind Miami, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.[14] The Greater Tampa Bay area has over 4 million residents and generally includes the Tampa and Sarasota metro areas.
The Tampa Bay Partnership and U.S. Census data showed an average annual growth of 2.47 percent, or a gain of approximately 97,000 residents per year. Between 2000 and 2006, the Greater Tampa Bay Market experienced a combined growth rate of 14.8 percent, growing from 3.4 million to 3.9 million and hitting the 4 million population mark on April 1, 2007.[15] A 2012 estimate shows the Tampa Bay area population to have 4,310,524 people and a 2017 projection of 4,536,854 people.[16]
