St. Pete, you've got plenty to say about development and city politics.

Now let's put that comment-section energy toward something that actually helps our local small businesses.

🍞 We're on the hunt for the best homemade bread in St. Pete!

Sourdough, focaccia, fresh-baked loaves, whatever you've tried and loved.

Tag a local bakery or small business that deserves the spotlight. And tell us what we absolutely NEED to try!

Let's give some local businesses the attention they deserve.

‼️ And here's a little food for thought. We see a whole lot more energy going into posts about controversy than posts supporting the local businesses that help give St. Pete its character.

👉🏼So here's our challenge: Can we show up just as loudly for the things we love about this city as we do for the things we don't?

Think about that for a minute.

10/13/2026

Homelessness is one of the toughest issues any city faces and St. Pete is no exception.

Some residents believe the immediate priority should be getting people into safe shelter. Others emphasize keeping public spaces safe and accessible. And some believe lasting progress starts with addressing the circumstances that lead people to homelessness.

These concerns aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but cities have to make decisions about where to focus their resources.

What do you think St. Pete should prioritize first, and why?

We want to hear different perspectives.

TWO MORE 44-STORY CONDO TOWERS FOR DOWNTOWN ST. PETE?

Apparently, downtown St. Pete isn't done building luxury condos.

Developer Kolter Urban is proposing a $325 million redevelopment that would replace the Hilton Bayfront with not one but TWO 44-story condominium towers, bringing 325 residences, commercial space and hundreds of parking spaces to downtown St. Pete.

And here we are again.

We're not against development. But at what point do we start asking who all this development is actually for?

And there's another part of the conversation that deserves attention: construction.

If this project moves forward, what protections will neighboring buildings, small businesses, and nearby residents have against potential construction impacts, including vibration, noise, access disruptions and possible property damage?

The towers are still proposed, not approved.

St. Pete, how do you REALLY feel about not one, but TWO more 44-story luxury condo towers coming to downtown?

We know this crowd has opinions. 😂 Let's hear them!

Sorry, no controversy in this post.

Just trying to see if we can get St. Pete as fired up about supporting local businesses as we do about arguing over what's happening to the city.

So here's your chance. Name a small local business that deserves more attention.

Let's see if we can make THIS comment section just as lively.

We may have a problem. We're officially addicted to the Egg Cream Coffee at Say Coffee House. 😂

Vietnamese phin-drip coffee, condensed milk, milk, and a ridiculously creamy egg foam on top.

It's rich, smooth, a little sweet, and dangerously easy to finish before you even leave the parking lot.

And seriously, who decided coffee needed egg foam? Because we'd personally like to thank them.

Anyone else hooked on this stuff or are we alone here?

🚣 A ST. PETE WATERFRONT TRADITION IS MAKING A COMEBACK!

After a three-year break, USF St. Petersburg is bringing back its waterfront boat races, but this time, the boats are getting an upgrade.

The tradition started in 1999 with students racing homemade cardboard boats across Bayboro Harbor. Some made it to the finish line. Others didn't stay afloat. 😂

Now it's returning as Rocky's Regatta, with students, faculty, and staff competing in kayaks instead.

🗓️ Wednesday, October 14
⏰ 3–5 PM
📍 Bayboro Harbor & Harborside Lawn, USF St. Petersburg

Spectators can enjoy music, food, giveaways, and plenty of cheering along the waterfront.

An alumni and student social follows from 5–7 PM.

A little St. Pete history, a little friendly competition, and hopefully fewer sinking boats.
