st petersburg florida: St Petersburg Florida Downtown Waterfront - how will the voters vote? - 11/16/07 09:19 AM
Downtown St Petersburg Florida
is one of the largest - and in my opinion also one of the most beautiful - public waterfronts in the U.S. Nearly five miles of parkland keep the waterfront open and visible to the public. Yes, there are wonderful indoor and outdoor restaurants and shops and museums and residences - but they don't block the view. There are over 350 events a year in these waterfront parks, from art shows to music concerts, as well as all the daily uses, for walking or sitting or playing soccer or exercising your dog.
What's really unique is that this waterfront … (7 comments)

Today's business section of the St Petersburg Times revealed that the owners of 100 Bay Central (first known as South Core, then as the headquarters of Progress Energy) are ready for a tenant or two in their building at 100 Central Ave in downtown St Petersburg. With 63,000 sq ft on the ground floor and 72,000 sq ft on the second floor, and several floors of parking garage above. The article suggested a Fresh Market or a Crate and Barrel.

st petersburg florida: St Pete is the place to reinvent yourself ... says Kiplinger - 08/09/07 12:56 PM
Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine recently rated the top 25 cities in the US for different stages of your life. If retirement DOES NOT mean white belts and Canasta, then St Pete or Tampa Bay, Florida is #1. Criteria for all their cities centered around a strong Creative Class, but specifics for retirees were also vibrant culture and educational opportunities, low crime rate and great health facilities. I think we also qualify (though they didn't choose us in both categories) for #1 as Empty Nesters city, which adds to the Creative Class  performing arts, golf courses and marinas. We have all those. … (2 comments)

st petersburg florida: Downtown St Petersburg Florida - Hampton Inn & Suites - 03/31/07 11:32 AM
All of our interesting buildings aren't old - here's a new (within the last couple years) buildings that was designed to fit well with our older Mediterranean style buildings. It's a Hampton Inn and Suites - no, not out in the suburbs, but right in the heart of downtown St. Pete on Beach Drive. 
It doesn't have a dining room (other than for breakfast, of course) but why would you want one, when you can want to SO many excellent restaurants in downtown St. Pete.
It also has the advantage of being only two blocks from our office, and you pass Starbucks … (0 comments)
