Ozona is a cute town on the ocean between Dunedin and Palm Harbor. The heart of the town is off alt 19, there is an interesting few blocks near Orange and Bay Street. There are several marinas along the water, and if you go out on a boat there is a small bay that’s protected […]

Tucked away in the racket club off 4th Ave N, near 46th, Baseline bistro serves up good food and quality cocktails. The owner is friendly and the regulars will take you under their wing if you don’t watch out.
