About San Jose

Fun fact, precious—Victorian whores used pineapple scent. Weird, right? Smellin’ like fruit salad, hookin’ on streets! Cracks me up, that does. Once read ‘bout this gal, Mary Jane—Jack the Ripper got her. Poor lass, just tryin’ to eat. Gets me sad, then mad—why her, huh? Stupid, fat world!

Gibsonton has always been Florida’s freakiest town. After all, its most notable residents were folks called Lobster Boy and Percilla the Monkey Girl.

The town’s architecture is oddball too. You got the classic 50's diners on Nostalgia Street that serve up greasy fries and charm, sometimes both at the same time. It’s simple, unpredictable, and yet, so darn beautiful. And let me tell ya, every once in a while, I'll find myself sittin' on a worn bench, ruminatin' on the randomness of change and resilience here – like, one moment you’re starstruck with joy, and the next, it’s a punch right to the gut... surprise turns into relief, then into a big ol’ “what the heck, man?”
