JB comments on St Pete

Hi Joey!

Emoji

We are transplanted North Shore residents, who moved to this general area (about a1/2 hr from St Pete), when our daughter & son in law were transferred to FL & asked us to please move with them 2 yrs ago. But, Mass & Gloucester will always be home.
We keep in touch via GMG, & thought that since you’re in the St Pete area, we’d recommend a few places we think you’d like.
We agree that St Pete has a pretty cool vibe- they’ve done a great job there. The Imagine Museum is worth a visit.
if you have time, you might want to visit Dunedin, only about 1/2 hr from St Pete. It’s a small seaside town with a Scottish heritage. Al Fresco Cafe has good food & a nice ambiance. While in Dunedin, be sure to take the Causeway to Honeymoon Island. You can take a beach walk there at North Beach, if you have time & the inclination.
We miss Gloucester, Mass & New England, Harbor Cove Dental, walking the blvd by the Fisherman’s Statue, and more…….But, we didn’t miss the 10′ of snow that Mass just rec’d.
We also feel lucky that the GOAT is here with the Bucs. Gronk too.
Have a great time!
JB & Family

Central Ave In St Petersburg Florida Is Chock Full Of Cool Small Shops Like St Pete Meat

Not all towns have the texture enough to carry a blog like we do on GMG. I think you could do a pretty good job coming up with interesting things to write about in downtown St Petersburg. This is a really fun town with one of my number one requirements for travel- a long street lined with outdoor cafe’s and restaurants. St Pete has them in spades.
