Will St. Petersburg embrace air taxis?

St. Petersburg City Councilmembers have realized they must now "catch up" in the race to accommodate air taxis.

The city’s Economic and Workforce Development Committee discussed electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles used in air delivery and taxi services Thursday. The meeting served as a prequel to discussions that began over three years ago under former Mayor Rick Kriseman’s administration.

Now serving: A Cuban sandwich long as a football field

This Sunday, One Buccaneer Place will host a culinary spectacle as part of the Ford Taste of the Cuban Sandwich event: An attempt to create the world's longest Cuban sandwich.

The event will feature the construction of a massive sandwich using Gayo Azul Swiss Cheese, various meats and condiments. The 360-foot Cuban will be the same length as a football field from end zone to end zone, breaking the 330-foot record set last year in Kissimmee.
