It's Grand Prix time again in St Pete

Grand Prix St Petersburg It's Grand Prix time again in St Petersburg. Some of our downtown streets will turn into racetrack for the 2011 Grand Prix on March 25-27, 2011. Preparations are evident as barriers are put up along streets and trailer trucks block intersections.

People either love or hate the Grand Prix with its excitement, crowds and NOISE. Some of the downtown condos have prime viewing, such as Bayfront Tower and Signature Place. Condo owners will often either throw a party or leave town! There is also general seating and VIP seating. As you can see in the photo, some people choose to watch the St Pete Grand Prix from their yachts.

Downtown St Pete is an exciting place to visit and a great place to live.

Hi Sharon,

First, that's a great photo! I had no idea they had a Grand Pix there. We've got a race here in downtown Long Beach, CA yet I've never attended. I know those who do love it.

Hope yours turns out well!

Hey Sharon ~ looks like plenty of action over on the west coast too! Plenty of snowbirds here.

And for those who don't know, Alligator Alley takes about an hour to from east to west. I'm always running into folks leaving to or coming from the other coast!
