The Cupcake Spot – Click for Larger Photo Okay, it was bound to happen. Me talking about good things to eat, that is. I wasn’t sure if I was going to publish posts about shops or businesses or restaurants, but, really, why not? They are all a part of what makes St. Petersburg a fun [...] Pink Streets Looking Towards the Skyway Seems like all great cities have their special, quirky neighborhoods. And the quirks exist for different reasons. Some are quirky out of necessity, like Lombard Street in San Francisco — because the natural terrain there is so steep, the only way to make a road that was safe to travel was to introduce [...] Postcard of Gandy Bridge Early Years Original Gandy Bridge Toll Gate Before the days of the Gandy Bridge, if you wanted to travel between St. Petersburg and Tampa, you had to drive north, around Tampa Bay. It was a long and fairly arduous drive and because of that, St. Petersburg and Tampa felt as though [...] American Stage's New Venue Among the many things that there are to do in St. Petersburg, we have great live theater here. Although I’m sure there are lots of smaller theater groups that I don’t know about, American Stage and St. Petersburg Little Theater are the two organizations that come to mind for me when I think [...] Just a reminder that, in addition to showing off St. Petersburg, I’m also going to post some local Real Estate information from time to time – probably once a week.

I hope you have a fantastic day, and please be [...] Anyone who has seen the Sunshine Skyway bridge after dark knows what a stunning sight it is – glowing golden cables against the dark night sky. It’s a spectacular enough looking bridge in broad daylight, but at night, it is truly breathtaking. I wanted to take a photograph so that I could show it off to [...] Tomato Plants at Demen's Landing – Click for Larger View Today’s post, I have to admit, is just for fun. It doesn’t necessarily tell you anything about St. Petersburg. Or maybe it does? Some time ago, I was down at Demen’s Landing, which is on the water just south of downtown St. Petersburg. It’s a great [...] St. Petersburg is filled with beautiful old buildings – old, that is, in St. Petersburg terms. While some areas of the country have houses and buildings that have been around for hundreds of years, St. Petersburg has not been around all that long, so ‘old’ is a relative term. Going back eighty or ninety years, [...] Taking Off From Albert Whitted When I was a kid, sometimes my dad would need to drive someone over to the Tampa airport or pick someone up from the airport. Whenever I could, I tried to go along for the ride. In those days, there were no security gates, no TSA personnel, and nothing to [...] |
