    Progress on the New Dali Museum
    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 shape and reality gone wild, and they are nothing but fun to see. Fans who live in the area or who visit here are very lucky - the St. Petersburg Dali museum holds the largest...

De Soto Park in Tierra Verde, FL. Whether you enjoy hiking, jogging, skating, kite boarding, surfing, swimmin...

The year that is about to end brought ups and downs to our area’s real estate market.  Throughout Pinellas County, the good news is that our market appears to be rebounding (with record sales per statistics availa...
