Today is a gray, rainy day in St. Petersburg. Not the kind of day that we usually have here. And certainly not the kind of day that draws visitors and new residents. But it’s for a good cause – it’s part of a front that’s pushing through, and the front is going to bring us [...] Some of the most beautiful buildings in St. Petersburg are places of worship.

But as time goes on and I see more [...] This is a tale of two houses. Both houses share the same address – 2408 Brevard Road Northeast. That’s located in Granada Terrace, a beautiful area of St. Petersburg that lies between Coffee Pot Boulevard NE and First Street NE and between 22nd Avenue NE and 25th Avenue NE.

Voters will be choosing a new Mayor for the city, along with five City Council members. They’ll also decide on two City Charter Amendments. So, if you’re a good citizen and if you haven’t already voted via a mail-in ballot, you’ll be heading to your [...] Florida Native Orchids (click on picture for larger image) If you live in St. Petersburg or anywhere within an hour or so of St. Petersburg, and if you love orchids or have even a little interest in growing them, you need to visit Florida Native Orchids!
