After so many days of gray skies and rain, it was absolutely glorious to wake up yesterday morning to blue skies and sunshine, the way things are supposed to be, here in St. Petersburg! I was close to downtown on business, so I drove by the Chihuly Collection location on Beach Drive, just to see [...]

I usually prefer not to repeat myself, but in this case, I’m going to make an exception. Yes, I’ve done posts in the past about the amazing new I first posted on the Crislip Arcade back in August of last year. It’s worth a quick look at that post, so that you can compare the entryway to the arcade at that time to the new entryway. It used to have a very boring and stark opening at the bottom, and some old windows [...] Cassis American Brasserie has taken over the empty space on the Beach Drive side of the Ovation Condominium building, promising an ‘affordable French-American brasserie menu’. The restaurant began limited operations last weekend in an invitation-only setting, allowing the chefs and servers to get comfortable without being overwhelmed. It was due to open to the public [...] Each year, the Florida Orchestra, working with local designers and developers, hosts a Designer Show House as a fundraiser for the orchestra. Typically, the venue is a house, but this year, it’s at the gorgeous new Ovation condominiums in downtown St. Petersburg. There are two condos featured, each decorated by several different local companies and [...] Fresh Market Coming to Cocoanut Grove Site (click on photo for larger image) For a good many years, the corner of Fourth Street North and 30th Avenue was the home of the Cocoanut Grove Motel, a grouping of cottages that hummed with activity every winter, as the tourists flocked back down to St. Petersburg to [...] All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg has been an outstanding, state of the art children’s health care facility for many years. Originally founded at the American Legion Hospital for Crippled Children in 1927, the hospital began a transformation to a full-service health care facility for kids in the early 1960’s. In 1967, the All Children’s [...] I love public art! I can be out in the world, just moving along through life, and I might be anywhere at all, and suddenly I come upon something that was placed there, just for me to look at, to study, to question, to enjoy, or maybe to laugh at. Okay, maybe it wasn’t placed there [...] If you’ve never paid a visit to the Dali Museum, you really should! It’s a fantastic land of the surreal, and walking through the museum and really taking time to absorb what you see there can create entirely new neural pathways in your brain! Dali’s works are amazing, over the top explosions of color and [...] Celotex-Pridgen Site – Click for Larger Photo If you’re anything at all like me (and, for your sake, I really hope you’re not, but that’s another story altogether), it drives you crazy to see something big going on and not know what it’s all about! That’s been the story with me for months as I drive [...] |
