Rep. Castor reestablishes her presence in St. Pete

Many St. Petersburg residents have a familiar face representing their interests in Washington, D.C., and Congresswoman Kathy Castor is making a concerted effort to reintroduce herself to the community.

Castor and her team invited local stakeholders to ThriveDTSP Wednesday for a swearing-in ceremony and open-house event celebrating her new district office at 136 4th St. N, Suite 201, in downtown St. Petersburg. A dedicated staff is now onsite to assist with immigration and IRS issues, social services, veterans' benefits and general concerns.

Your weekend arts forecast: Isbell, Skaggs and Trucks

The level of musicianship in our midst this weekend is staggering. There are top-drawer concerts in St. Pete and Tampa, spanning a variety of genres, be assured, but there’s just something extraordinary about the next couple of nights at Ruth Eckerd Hall, up in Clearwater.

Friday brings singer and guitarist extraordinaire Jason Isbell and his longtime band, the 400 Unit. A former key player with Drive-By Truckers, this Alabamian has evolved into one of the most literate and compelling songwriters in that wide world of contemporary music called, by those who need labels, Americana. Some call it southern rock. Or country rock. Or just rock ‘n’ roll.
