From YouTube: Oldsmar Florida My Home On Tampa Bay

Description

Oldsmar, Florida is a small town on the top of the northwest point of Tampa Bay. Home of many beautiful parks and the Tampa Bay Downs horse track on Racetrack Rd, and the "Gem of the South" the Oldsmar Flea Market. Oldsmar, Florida is a small community between two major metropolitan areas. Clearwater/St.Pete - Tampa. I hope you enjoy my amateur look at it. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

Hey guys Tampa J here, what's going on, okay, so for those of you don't know or haven't heard me say it before: I live in Oldsmar Florida at the top of Tampa Bay oldsmar is named after Oh Ayers Lee walking her dogs.

A

Their Oldsmar is named after the gentleman over here painted on that wall, which is actually our II olds, and that is an old-time name and if anyone knows who re olds was there's kind of a hint in his name, he was the owner and founder of Oldsmobile yeah, the car General Motors, you know sold the Oldsmobile.

A

They no longer make it anymore, but at one point in time, re olds owned all this land and helped develop it, and that's where the name oldsmar came and I, don't know exactly why Oldsmar, but Marv is Spanish for C. So I can guess you know old s'more, that's why he named it. Cuz it's little town by the seat and all the little street signs here in old, smart Florida have the little little the original Oldsmobile car on them and I'm coming up to a crossing up here. Soon there you go.

A

There's a closer look: yeah, there's the little right there. Oh my fingers, huge, hey, hey, that's really cool, oh yeah, but anyways. It's right there. The Oldsmobile olds mark check out this cool barbershop. This building's been here for years, and actually it was just most recently occupied and my dad actually told me a story. The other day my parents live here in old, smart too, but this guy actually was saving up I think to buy another barbershop and I.

A

Don't know all I, don't remember all the finer details, but he completed his mission. Look at this guy. What should we call him? What should we name him? He looks happy looks like oh yeah he's got. The little was that the razor and the I got. It looks more like a beer that looks like he's about ready to have a an excellent time there, I've, driven by this building a million time I, never noticed the little cartoons on air. It's really cool kind of reminds me of Mario or something. Oh. It looks like yeah.

A

They have new, there's a little sign thing where they move to a little firetruck, really cool. And if we can look inside.

A

So yeah, so really cool old, smart, family, barber shop, I think that's the Restless sign over. There looks like it used to be yeah. You know what this used to be an old gas station.

A

Very cool, so, let's, let's head on downtown old Tamar to the big city life, so I have to admit this is the first time I've been on foot in downtown, holds mark since probably 2005, that's a long time. huh Well, it's not hard to miss. So this is City Hall and across the street, or it says oldsmar Historical Society that actually used to be the oldsmar public library until they built a new one. A few years back, which is this way down the street. There check this out. I'll have to come back during the day.

A

I had no idea, but they actually have one of the original Oldsmobile vehicles inside Oldsmar, City, Hall Wow. Let's check out the Oldsmar Historical Society former public library, a little closer check it out. A little more I mean man, there's a lot of traffic here in downtown old tomorrow.

A

Oh there. Let me cross, thank you well, I, better, not jaywalk, but then again, I'm always jaywalking. So it looks like the museum hours are Tuesdays to 10:00 to 2:00 p.m. and Thursdays 10:00 to 2:00 p.m. well. Shucks are always working then so, hopefully, one day, maybe I'll take off on a Tuesday just to come to this museum, because there's nothing better than knowing more about your community and I would I would love to come here and check out this place.

A

It's like hey, what's going on and for you olds more residents that have an electric car. Yes, we do looks like we got a place to charge. I've never actually looked closer at one of these things. So, okay wow, you use a credit card, nothing's free.

A

So every year Oldsmar holds one of the largest Oktoberfest in the Tampa Bay area. I have never been, but I'm going to try to go this year. Not only do they have the music, the beer and all the fun times. They also have like a carnival like a fair that goes on too. So maybe, if you guys want, maybe I'll check it out.
