History Lesson for the day

[Danimal8199]

Here is a little history on one of our favorite spots to ride, Lassing Park.

Old Southeast
Old Southeast Neighborhood was established in the mid 1950s by developer C.A. Harvey. It is bordered on the east by Lassing Park, a 12.5 acre park on Tampa Bay that runs from 16th to 22nd Avenues. This residential park offers fishing, games, walking, and a spectacular view of Tampa Bay. The original land for the park was donated to the city by Judge Robert B. Lassing in 1924, with the condition that all structures erected in the park be for park use. The neighborhood is famous for its colored hexagon-block sidewalks. The blocks are arranged in patterns and run throughout the neighborhood. Old Southeast is a hex block preservation district that involves homeowners in the maintenance and upkeep of their historic walkways.

lassing park? favorite spot?

hmm.. never heard of it.

too bad it's no good to ride there anymore due to the bacteria outbreaks... sewage drains right into the water on each side of the launch.

Don’t forget the labyrinth of crab traps and poles that stick out of the water. And the smell~

I've got a tazer on me at all times out there.
I just hope I don't taze a kiter on accident.
The odds of getting robbed at knifepoint or having a guy set his pit bull on you are pretty high out there, right Bayflite?
Those aren't nuns playing touch football out there, they are undercover gang bangers.

I got a tapeworm from a session there. A 30 foot tapeworm--it made a terrible sound after it crawled out of my ass and reared its head...

Tom and I were just discussing this tonight as I ordered my #2 Combo (biggie size, obviously). I have lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I just realized Tom, we started riding out there about that time.

Well, that's just great.
