The turkey tells of fear of being dinner this coming week, so he was running around scaring everyone off. Swampy assures the frightened bird that he will be spared today in celebration of Humane Society Anniversary Day!

It was today in 1954 that the Humane Society began.

Panama City Auditorium, 1969. – Swampy’s Florida Postcard.

In May, 1960, the Panama City Auditorium opened. This card commemorated the opening. Forty four years later the auditorium is now called the Marina Civic Center.

Sadly, the facility closed in 2018 when category 5 hurricane Michael ripped across the structure.
Despite efforts to revive it and the reaction to the virus situation, the building lay dormant.

Starting early October, 2024, the building was demolished for another structure to be built.
My experience with new facilities built in the past 30 years, the longevity of the Marina structure to be built will be short lived.

Here’s a video on YouTube to learn and see more history of the auditorium/civic center:

Here is where the auditorium is:

Swampy’s Florida says Happy Television Day!

For Television Day, they are watching ‘Sea Hunt’, which starred Lloyd Bridges. Sea Hunt was a television series that ran from 1958 through 1961. It was developed as a series by Ivan Tors, who had his base studio in Miami. Much of the underwater scenes were shot in the clear waters of springs at Silver Springs State Park, Tarpon Springs and other Florida locations.

You can learn more about Sea Hunt here:
