It's a cliché, but how things change over the years!  This photo shows the front entrance to the Florida Ostrich Farm on Talleyrand Avenue, which runs along the St. Johns River, east of today's Alltel Stadium.  The picture dates from between 1901 to 1909.  A century ago, more trees & residences spruced up the Talleyrand area.  Nowadays, Talleyrand Avenue is a dusty, mostly shadeless road, bordered by industrial & transportation businesses.
