St. Petersburg is, compared to most places in the country, a pretty flat place. Even compared to areas not far outside of Tampa, which do have some rolling hills, we are flat. But, in reality, there are significant differences in the height above sea level in various areas of the city. Using the old ‘picture is worth a thousand words’ concept, I paused the other day as I was driving north on 64th Street South at Bougainvilla Ave South and snapped this shot of Bear Creek, which looks more like it belongs out in the country somewhere than it does running through west St. Petersburg…
