St. Petersburg the Changing Face of Paradise ST. PETERSBURG THE CHANGING FACE OF PARADISE BY LYNN WADDELL ike most transformations, it didn’t occur overnight. L Some residents say it began in 1998 when the Tampa Bay Rays first took to Tropicana Field. Others argue it began with the opening of a downtown shopping and entertainment complex. Others still, when the University of South Florida St. Petersburg began offering student housing. In truth, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman says, the city’s renaissance has been several decades in the making. PHOTO AERIAL INNOVATIONS SPONSORED SECTION 1 ST. PETERSBURG or decades the city was known as a retirement haven, a place where seniors rested on green benches along Central Avenue, played shuffle- board under live oaks and danced to big band Fmusic in the Coliseum. Today the Green Bench is a brewery with a beer garden regularly packed with millennials and young families. The city’s historic shuffleboard club is run by volunteers in their 20s and 30s who organize tweed-wearing bicycle rides and weekly shuffles with food trucks and doses of alt rock. The city’s 1924 Coliseum hosts brewfests where you are likely to see more purple hair than gray. In short, St. Petersburg has gone from being just a beautiful city where people strive to end up, to a place where many want to start out. U.S. Census figures show that the city’s median age dropped almost seven years to age 42.1 between 1970 and 2015, while the national median age has climbed. More telling is that the percentage of residents over 75 shrunk dramatically, while the percentage of residents age 20 to 40 increased. “The sun is always shining GET TO KNOW ST.

  • RAYS CLIPS August 20, 2010
    RAYS CLIPS August 20, 2010 Tampa Bay Rays are doing the right thing by protecting Jeremy Hellickson's arm By John Romano, Times Sports Columnist With Jeremy Hellickson, the future takes precedence over the present. ST. PETERSBURG After his first three big-league starts, the rookie pitcher in Washington had a 2-0 record. His ERA was 1.86, and opponents were batting .149 against him. Stephen Strasburg ended up on the cover of Sports Illustrated. After his first three big-league starts, the rookie pitcher in Tampa Bay had a 3-0 record. His ERA was 1.35, and opponents were batting .136 against him. Jeremy Hellickson could very well end up in Triple A after his next start tonight. Kind of makes you wonder if the Rays are - how shall I put this - insane? In the ramshackle history of an expansion franchise, no Rays starting pitcher has ever made such a dramatic entrance. Hellickson has been poised, he has been efficient, he has, by far, been better than anyone could have reasonably expected. So are the Rays making a huge mistake by not taking advantage of Hellickson while fighting for first place? No, they're not. At least, not at this point. Certainly, we can all agree on the notion of seizing the day in a pennant race. We wouldn't mind spending more of ownership's money, and we might be willing to trade a prospect at the right price. But risking a young player's future? That should be nonnegotiable. And that's why this story is not as simple as it seems.

Governor State Surgeon General October 15, 2008 The Honorable Charlie Justice The Honorable Rick Kriseman The Honorable Janet Long 8601 4thStreet, North Suite 100 St. Petersburg, Florida 33702 Re: Indoor Air Testing Near Raytheon in St. Petersburg Dear Senator Justice, Representatives Kriseman and Long: Thank you for your recent letter dated October 1, 2008 regarding the Department of Health's (DOH) indoor air quality testing of nine apartments, condominiums, and other buildings above groundwater contamination from the Raytheon hazardous waste site in St. Petersburg. DOH initiated these tests as a precaution to determine if vapors from the contaminated groundwater are entering buildings. Preliminary results suggest that groundwater vapors are not entering these buildings. None of the chemicals most frequently found in contaminated groundwater from Raytheon (trichloroethene, vinyl chloride, etc.) were found in the indoor air of these buildings. DOH collected two sequential 12-hour samples from each building. We shipped them via DHL to a specialized laboratory in Utah for analysis. Subsequently, we learned that DHL lost one of the shipping boxes containing four air samples. Despite repeated inquires, DHL was unable to find the missing box. DHL is reimbursing the laboratory $2,400 for the air sample containers. DOH received written permission to test indoor air from the owners of the Brandywine apartments and from the residents, including Mr. Oscar Silva. The signed consent forms included instructions on various household products and chemicals that should not be used for 72 hours prior to testing.
