OLD BRICK ROADS - They were something left over from the Florida boom years of the twenties, but as a kid they were a place to ride my bicycle. Winding roads that went nowhere because the money ran out and nothing was built. St. Petersburg has grown over all that now, most of the brick has been paved over with the exception of a few streets in the older downtown areas.Language
