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...

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...

The Pier is open 365...

St. Petersburg Clay Company
In 1914, the Seaboard Railroad company applied to the City of St. Petersburg for permission to bring their railway into town. They hoped to compete with the Orange Belt Railway, which had been the only railroad serving the city since the late 1800’s. Despite some strong opposition from the Orange Belt company, the voters of St. Petersburg approved a referendum allowing Seaboard to come to town. Seaboard began building a freight train depot at 420 22nd Street South, and the statio...

Andy Warhol in Downtown St Petersburg!
No, not the person. Andy passed away back in 1987. But some of his excellent art works are here! Andy Warhol Portfolios: Life and Legends is being presented now at the Museum of Fine Arts, and the show will continue until August 16th. It’s a great exhibition that features over 70 prints of some of Warhol’s best known works, including his famous portraits of Marilyn Monroe, the iconic Campbell’s soup can, the Flowers series, and Muhammad Ali, to name a few.

Head for the Hills
St. Petersburg is a great place to live, and you can find just about any sort of diversion or entertainment that you might want. But what if you come from the north and you really miss having hills around you? Or maybe you’re a born and bred St. Petersburg native, but you’d love a change of terrain once in awhile? You probably think you’re out of luck. Everybody knows that there are no hills in St. Petersburg, right? Well, you might be surprised! In fact, I have friends...

New Home for American Stage
Got live theater? In a great location? In a fantastic new building? We sure do! St. Petersburg now has a wonderful new theater facility located right in the heart of the city. Downtown St. Petersburg, version 2009, is a place that’s filled with activities, events, museums, entertainment, great restaurants, and more. It seems as though there are more fun things happening every time I take a few minutes to look around. One of the greatest treasures of our city, if you have any interest at a...

Sunken Gardens
Many of Florida’s once famous tourist destinations have disappeared. Fortunately, Sunken Gardens near downtown St. Petersburg has been preserved. A historical treasure, Sunken Gardens is one of few remaining examples of a typical 1930s Florida attraction. The park is a botanical wonder with more than 50,000 tropical plants, trees and flowers. Great Explorations, the popular children’s hands-on museum, has recently taken up residence in the Mediterranean Revival building next door. Bu...

Grand Prix of St. Petersburg
Once a year street racing becomes legal in downtown St. Petersburg. Well, at least for some. In April of each year many of the walkable and pleasantly urban streets of downtown St. Petersburg become an Indy Car race track. The twists and turns and sharp corners became the first non-oval track where the super-fast monster racers made famous at the Indianapolis 500 compete. Actually, the Indy Car Race is only one day of a three-day event. The Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is a unique city spe...
