Thanks for highlighting our town. The downtown has really been booming for the last couple of years. The Hacienda just reopened after many years of renovations. The Hacienda has famous residents on the sidewalk outside with info too. The park has lots of events, most are dog friendly, fyi. Chasco is coming up at the end of the month, if you are able to go. Highly recommend. A carnival and parade. Thanks for sharing !

Thank you so much for sharing such a great video on the history of New Port Richey. Learned some new things! We live down the road from the "Gloria Swanson" house, too funny to hear the way stories evolve. Love our murals (many of them are modeled off locals), housing, Peace Hall, and all the Hacienda stories. Great to hear more on my favorite "famous" locals, June & Johnny. I believe there are two houses affiliated with the Cash family and one is a bungalow closer to New Port Richey, but that could be a myth. The mound is my favorite piece of history in the county. Thank you again!

Little tidbit on our Hacienda Hotel here in NPR- there's an extra window on the outside west side of the building that they weren't sure where it went to as it didn't show on the inside of the building...many thought is was a "secret haunted room" as rumour went. Further down us19 is the Famous Spongedocks then further north on us19 is the famous Weeki Wachee Springs w/Mermaids! Trinity Memorial Gardens has the burial site of George Steinbrenner..

The Florida seafood on their menu is pretty incredible.

Good video of NPR. I did a vlog when the Hacienda Hotel was open for renovations. The guides dressed like flappers. During Prohibition, Joe Kennedy had a tunnel dug to smuggle booze into the hotel. Ms. Swanson and he would meet at the tower and then go to her room directly below. Fun times. Btw, that small white bird is an ibis. Johnny Cash also owned one of the stilt houses out in gulf.

You are certainly right to be skeptical of a Marilyn Monroe-Al Capone Tryst since her first films released in 1947 and he died in January of 1947. He was released from federal prison in 1939 because his mind was going from syphilis. His own physician examined him in 1946 and stated that Capone had the mind of a twelve-year-old.

Yes, indeed, I really enjoyed this, Jordan. What a beautiful town with creative residents! A combo travelogue, history lesson, plus mentions of the famed stars who may or may not have lived there. The story re Marilyn Monroe and Al Capone is ridiculous. Though he did live in Florida, Capone was debilitated mentally and physically from multiple STDs for at least five years prior to his death in January 1947. She would have been 20 at the time. Marilyn and my dear mother had the same birthday, June 1st, except Mom was born in 1915 and Marilyn in 1926. As for travel guides telling tall tales about famous folk: during a 1965 visit to New York City one of the tours I took upstate was near some battle Benedict Arnold was in. The tour also took us through the USMA at West Point. The non-military guide told us that a little-known factoid re George Washington and Arnold was that after traitor Arnold escaped back to England, Washington helped support him and his family due to their being friends during the war and in remembrance of Arnold's non-traitorous portion of his service. There was no way for us to check the story then, of course. But nowadays the Internet has no such info anywhere I can find. I do remember a number of the tourists, myself included, being quite shocked about the revelation. It never occurred to any of us that the guide was lying.
