Campbell Park residents see opportunities, roadblocks

An oft-overlooked South St. Petersburg neighborhood’s residents are working together to highlight the community’s potential and overcome persistent hurdles.

Franklin Alves believes Campbell Park is on the precipice of a “remarkable transformation.” He looks at plans to reconnect the underserved area, an ongoing project to enhance the Booker Creek Bridge on Dr. Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Street South and the nearby Historic Gas Plant District's redevelopment as catalysts for positive change.

Vintage St. Pete: The Evening Independent’s Sunshine Offer

Somewhere around 5 or 5:30 in the afternoon, six days a week, the Evening Independent landed on lawns and driveways across St. Petersburg. If skies were clear, the newspaper was bound with a rubber band. It was bagged when rain was forecast, or already falling.

Rainy days played a major role in the Evening Independent saga. Between 1910 and 1986, when the Indy ceased publication, St. Pete’s afternoon paper was distributed free of charge on days when the sun did not make an appearance by mid-afternoon, when the day’s edition was “put to bed” (if there was no measurable sun on Sundays, the Indy’s day off, the Monday paper would be free).
