Most beautiful neighborhoods in Florida: Driftwood in St. Pete. The neighborhood is south of 22nd Ave S along the Big Bayou, right next Lassing Park in the Old Southeast. It features a deep tree canopy, and is one of my favorite spots to walk, run and bike. The area features 19 homes that influential St. Pete icon Mark Dixon Dodd and his business partner Archie Parish designed in the 1930s and ‘40s. Driftwood is also the site of archaeological features from the 1800s pioneer homesteads of Abel Miranda and John Bethell who were the first permanent European settlers in lower Pinellas County, according to preservetheburg Video by Andrew Harlan for #ilovetheburg #running #biking #floridalife #roamflorida #stpete #stpeteflorida #bikes #neighborhood #historic #bayou #waterfront #tampabay #floridavibes #florida #727 #downtownstpete #dtsp #tampa
