Hello, friends. We are now officially in the dog days of summer when we find ourselves gravitating towards even the tiniest patch of shade. That, combined with shopping and shortcuts, is what makes arcades so attractive. Read all about them in this month’s deep dive into St. Pete’s history. Get to know Natty Moss Bond, a veteran of Tampa Bay’s post-punk rock scene and a successful multi-media folk artist. Enjoy the great indoors at PAVA’s Cool Art Show. The Veterans Art Center Tampa Bay offers alternative therapies to improve mental health, healing, and suicide prevention. CASK wants to build you an accessory dwelling unit.
First, we are excited to introduce you to our talented new contributors. We have three new writers (Monica Kile, Lynn Waddell, and Emily Harris) and two new photographers (Keith Kenney and Chris Ryan). All five work, live and play in St. Pete and love it here just as much as we do. We are thrilled to have them on our team and think their work speaks for itself. We hope you enjoy this issue!
