From the Bench

Spring is here! So is the time when we all collectively remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Celebrate Earth Day (April 22) all week long with the City of St. Pete. Movie buffs rejoice! Soon the Sunscreen Film Festival will take over the AMC Sundial to showcase the latest and greatest from a bevy of talented filmmakers. Learn about what Tampa Bay Waterkeeper is doing to protect our waterways. Harvey’s celebrates 40 years.  RadioStPete is now broadcasting from their new home at Thrive in downtown. And the proposed Lake House condo tower at Mirror Lake is now eleven stories instead of eighteen. But first, read The Greatest St. Pete Story Ever Told.

Till next time,

All are welcome on this bench.
The history of the green benches is layered. For some, it is a reminder of a painful period of racism and segregation. To others, it is a symbol of welcomeness and hospitality. We carry this name to shine a light on our city’s history and in celebration of those who work tirelessly towards a more inclusive St. Pete.
