a bit of Skyway Jacks history Skyway Jack’s is one of my long-time favorite St. Pete breakfast spots, dating back to its original location by the old Skyway Bridge. But, in addition to the current location described in the Inkwatu post linked to above, there’s also a new, additional location: 11140 4th Street North, Saint [...]

For some reason, with the exception of Moon Under Water, almost all downtown St. Pete restaurants are closed over the noon-hour on Sundays.

If you live in St. Pete, chances are someone you know was either marching down Central Avenue today or watching others do so. They may have been your brother or sister, your aunt or uncle, your son or daughter, your boss or employee…or a fellow church member. I counted almost 2 dozen churches marching in [...]

St. Petersburg, like any city, has many beautiful homes. This is one I find particularly inviting that I’ve often passed on walks. I think I like it because it reminds me of homes in my youth in the Midwest: sturdy, sensible, modest, but with attractive decorations and lots of earth tones…sort of like the home [...]

Ibis

Thumbnail image for Ibis

After spotting an enormous flock of American White Ibis feeding on a lawn in the city, I swung around the block and slowly edged up to get some pictures. There were at least twice as many Ibis as you see in the picture below; I just couldn’t get them all in one picture. They were [...]
