Penny Lane, The Ultimate Beatles Collection in Dunedin, Florida, is now open

from signed guitars to strands of Beatles hair.
The museum is located at 730 Broadway on the 2nd floor of
Stirling Commons in Downtown Dunedin. Hours of operation are Monday, Wednesday
and Friday from noon to 4:00 pm or by special arrangement by calling
727-281-8130. This collection is definitely worth crossing the pond for!
