OK, quirky quilting friends in London asked to see what my "downtown" looks like - I think they are hoping for 1950's beach charm - what is known here as "Old Florida" but often means beachy version of slightly run down American wild west.
Here's our new modern city hall building and
'downtown' Madeira Beach (click for map) - don't blink and don't get too excited! We also have a new fire station, small library, chemist (AE=drugstore) and grocery store within walking distance.
Very quiet and breezy on Thanksgiving Day at a'chilly/damp' 73 F (22 C).

Periodic Craft Market on Madeira Way
here's our beach 'Snack Shak' at Archibald Beach Park
1.5 miles down the road is out 'tourist shopping area' known as
Johns Pass (in 1848 a hurricane blew through and separated MB from Treasure Island creating a break in the sandy barrier island first noticed by fisherman John and hence known as Johns Pass - so hence the 'fishing village' tourist area is known as Johns Pass).
That's it folks! But keep reading for my holiday 'taking a break' blog post below.
