You hear a lot of chatter these days about St. Petersburg’s art and history museums, and how they’re getting to be world-class; yet another reason the city is becoming a “destination.” If you haven’t checked them out yourself, an opportune moment is about to present itself.
The national Free Museum Day is coming up Saturday, Sept. 22, and St. Petersburg’s major museums are all taking part.

Didion wrote the essay as the magazine was going to press, to fill the space left after another writer did not produce a piece on the same subject. She wrote it not to a word count or a line count, but to an exact character count.
