Downtown Tarpon Springs lamp posts

Lamp post in downtown Tarpon Springs

Time for another lamp post.

Just to refresh your memory, I posted a picture of a lamp post from downtown Dunedin not too long ago. It was a pretty fancy one, and it went well with the overall charm of the downtown area of Dunedin, which has been fancied up quite a bit in recent years.

Next up was a lamp post from Disney World’s Boardwalk area. Not a real local lamp post, to be sure, but a nice one that illustrated how antique-looking lamp posts can be used to lend an authetic touch to a restored downtown area.

This one was taken in downtown Tarpon Springs just this morning.

Apparently Tarpon Springs one-ups the other local downtowns by adding fresh flowers to their lamp posts. Other local communities may do the same thing, but I haven’t seen any.

You can see more of the Tarpon Springs downtown area here.

Old lamp posts aren’t just in Pinellas County

Disney Boardwalk lamp post

About three weeks ago I posted a picture of an old-style lamp post that I noticed on Main Street in Dunedin.

I know there are some pretty fine examples of other old-style lamp posts in places like downtown Clearwater and downtown Tarpon Springs, too. Next time I’m in those places and I think of it,  I’ll snap pictures of those old lights and post them here.

Meantime, take a look at this example of an old-style lamp post at Disney’s BoardWalk. When I was on my walk around the boardwalk I noticed these neat old lamps and snapped a few pictures so I could share one with you.

These aren’t old lamp posts — they are reproductions. But they sure look great, and they add a nice touch of style to the boardwalk area.
