The west coast Fountain of Youth has been found near the trolley line on Park Street, between Par Avenue and Bogie Avenue. To promote trolley ridership in 1917, the St. Petersburg & Gulf Railway Company advertised the water as a healthful tonic: "tones the system, aids in digestion, promotes snap and vigor. Take the Jungle Car and help yourself."
