Home of the rapidly-deteriorating "Sponge-O-Rama," a mom-and-pop tourist attraction from the 60s showing the history of Sponge Fishing in America (Specifically, Tarpon Springs).

Part of the fun of this place is that it obviously isn't going to be around much longer. Virtually every display is broken, they're run down, and every time you go, the place is in conspicuously worse shape than before. It's free! (It didn't used to be) Go see it now, before it's gone.

Janet Jackson once said this was her favorite tourist attraction in Florida. I can only assume she was joking.
