Great White Shark Hung by Tail
Large shark hung by his tail. Had to go see it. There's also a Shells and Jewelry store in the same lot, with a shark head sticking out of the side of the building.

Nice cool day, overcast and a lot of rain for Florida's driest month. Restaurant was hopping behind the shark.

A large Great White Shark hangs in front of a restaurant and other businesses. I grew up near this river and years ago this business was a marina. We got marine gas there for 40 cents a gallon, which my Dad thought was expensive.
