Billy Burbank, was the guy that owned the net shop, my grandfather bought nets from billy burbank jr, now it looks like billy burbank III has a pretty successful sports netting business

My grandfather has a few segments on it as well as the guy i mentioned above, billy burbank, fernadina is also in the film, you used to be able to stream the video from www.folkstreams.net but i cant get the links to work now.

What was your old address again?  I took a ton of images that we did not upload.

316 South 6th St.  It's a 2-story Greek Revival, light blue with coral and green accents, and flanked by 2 smaller cottages.

I think this image was taken pretty close to 316 South 6th Street.

ROFLMAO!  My house was the one across the street. D'OH!

Funny story, again, about those 2 smaller houses in the pic (the ones in the backdrop).  A great couple from Vermont stayed in the one with the red roof. Both houses are exactly the same but the floor-plans were reversed.  When I would sit on my porch, I would look at them and think, 'before'....'after'...'before'...'after', since one was remodeled and the other wasn't.

In the house that wasn't remodled, lived a old woman and her son and their 50-million white cats.  Those cats were so freakin cute.  Anywho, funny thing about her son, he looked EXACTLY like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.  Not exagerating one bit.

My wife and I went today. Alot of history for sure (along with food, shopping, recreation and scenery). If you go to the Amelia Island Tourist Development building on Centre St. you can pick up several brochures including a self guided walking tour which talks about alot of the buildings in Old City.
