IT'S SUMMER IN FLORIDA...........
The real estate market is sizzling! - and so is the weather, but that doesn't keep us inside! According to Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, (aka, "Dr. Beach"), Pinellas County's Fort DeSoto Park is THE best beach in the country! We think so, too, and now our secret's out. You can read what Dr. Beach had to say about North Beach - and other great Florida beaches, by clicking on http://goflorida.about.com/od/beaches1/a/beach_top2005htm
HEY SPORTSFANS!
If tanning your hide doesn't appeal to you, there's lot more to do in St. Pete this time of year. Baseball fans can catch a game at Tropicana Field through October 2nd. An evening of baseball with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays makes a great family night out. For schedule and ticket info, click on www.devilrays.com
ARE YOU ARTSY?
Even if you're not, the annual COOL ART SHOW at the St. Petersburg Coliseum is a great excuse to stay indoors and soak up the air conditioning - and to pick up some affordable original art. On July 23 7 24, the 17th annual show features fine artists in painting, jewelry, sculpture, photography and more. 727-892-5202
CALLING ALL ANGLERS.....
The FLORIDA FISHING SCHOOL will be held at the St. Petersburg Coliseum on July 30th. Experts will share their secrets and give advice on how to catch the big ones... (so you don't have to make up that story about how it got away...c'mon, you know about that story....) There will be displays of boats, fishing gear and supplies.For more info, call 727-892-5202
AUGUST brings concerts, an auto show, the monthly "gallery walk" and, of course, our monthly "First Friday" street party downtown.
SO, YOU GET THE PICTURE. WE'VE GOT LOTS TO DO.
ASIDE FROM ALL THESE RECREATIONAL DIVERSIONS, St. Petersburg also has some SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT going on, especially in the downtown area. These projects include the expansion of the University of South Florida and St. Petersburg College, as well as a dozen high rise loft and condo projects. One of these projects, The Seville Condominiums, is actually the redevelopment of a historic mediterranean revival style building downtown. This gem of a building, still features all of the beautiful Spanish architectural details common to the 1920's building boom in Florida.
