    Make A Resolution to Visit Ft. De Soto Park
    2010 is here and we are halfway through the first month of the New Year!   Many people take the opportunity to utter (often under their breath) a commitment to a New Year’s resolution.  Getting more exercise is often at the top of the list, and there is no easier way to keep a commitment to getting more exercise than participating in any one of a number of fun activities at Ft. De Soto Park in Tierra Verde, FL. Whether you enjoy hiking, jogging, skating, kite boarding, surfing, swimmin...

    A Tank With a View
    What could be more utilitarian than a water storage tower?  I guess, in many places, there’s probably not much that’s more utilitarian.  But anyone in the northeast area of  St. Petersburg who ever turns on their water is getting it from this very decidedly non-utilitarian looking storage tower!  Much more fun than the standard gray tank that you see so often.  And just another example of how St. Petersburg does a great job of making ordinary things extraordinary… (Please click on the...

    The Spirit of Giving
    Christmas has come and gone . . . and I, like others, am counting the hours, minutes, and (on New Year’s Eve) seconds, until 2010 arrives. The coming week offers a time of reflection and rejuvenation.   A glance back at the past and the promise of a new beginning. 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...

    Open Air Post Office in St. Petersburg
    St. Petersburg has a very unique and beautiful post office in the heart of downtown.  It’s known as the Open Air Post Office because, as you can see in this late 1940’s or early 1950’s era postcard, the main areas of the post office are not enclosed.  If you were to walk through the arches that you see, you’d be in the area of hundreds of post office boxes, as well as mail drops.  Our Open Air Post Office is located at the southwest corner of Fourth Street North and F...
