Remember when the Wakulla diving tower was 3 platforms, at least twice that tall?

I see those hawks quite a bit over my place. I think they live on the St. Johns property.

I really dig that house. I always take the long way when I walk to the library so I can go past it.

Hey y'all, just signed up.
Name: Hank
Age: 31
Occupation: support staff with the state
Hometown: Tallahassee
High School: Leon, which didn't do much for me
Born: right here at TMH
Hobbies: drinking cheap beer on my stoop, supporting local/independent music (mostly oi, ska, punk, and bluegrass, but I do branch out)
Other Cities I've lived in: Atlanta, Boston, spent a little time in Cali near LA.
I love this town with my heart and soul. I've lived out in the woods of Lloyd and all through Tally. I moved off to some big cities in my 20s, had a hell of a time, but I always come home. I've got a stack of family here, and I like to stay close.

No, that one shows the two platforms that are there now. In the 80s, they tore down the old one and built the one you see here. The old one was about twice as tall, like I said, and had three platforms instead of two. Heck of a jump off the top.
Here's what it looked like in the early 30s:
And here's the one I'm talking about, built in the 40s (upper left):
