          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...

                  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...
