Finally… St. Pete, it’s almost the weekend! 🌷

I gotta say, a Rays Home Opener win at the Dome was the perfect way to kick off the week. After a few rainy days, the sun is coming out just in time for all the weekend activities!

Now, in today’s edition:

  • New hi-fi listening lounge + cocktail bar coming to the EDGE District

  • Tampa Bay Rays vs Yankees at the Dome

  • Harvey’s 4th Street Grill celebrates 42 years in St. Pete

  • The Yard Gym location party for St. Pete

  • I-275 improvements & closures start tonight, April 9

Grab a drink, get comfortable and let’s get into what’s happening around St. Pete.

The Shoppes at Pinellas Park Set To Expand

The Shoppes at Park Place in Pinellas Park may soon expand with a drive-thru bank, 120-room hotel and roughly 28,000 square feet of new retail space.

This project took a key step forward after the Pinellas Park Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved site plan changes on March 5.

The property would also have more parking available than the city requires.

The goal? To make Park Place a more family-friendly destination as part of Belleair Development Group’s larger effort.
