About the Area
We are Creoles from New Orleans, Louisiana. Our home is located in West Saint Petersburg, known as The Jungle. It is an older suburban coastal neighborhood that is surrounded by Bays. Inlets and Ocean.
This area on the water near Park Street was known as "The Jungle Prada"Known as the Anderson/Narvaez Site after the 600-man Panfilo de Narvaez expedition that allegedly landed her in 1528. The public portion of the multi-mound site is nestled in a wooded park overlooking Boca Ciega Bay. The private portion contains a 10-foot deep archaeological test pit that looks down into the heart of the mound.Fuller’s Country Club Hotel (now the Admiral Farragut Academy was St. Petersburg's first nightclub. One can still feel a hint of the roaring 20’s atmosphere from the patio. The rear of the porch faces Boca Ciega Bay and juts out like the prow of a ship. Count Basie and Duke Ellington both played at the Gangplank and Babe Ruth was married there. Some of the magnificent terrazzo flooring (which was a novel decorative flooring at that time) can still be seen.
