A final farewell: Kriseman gives thanks, reflects on his time as mayor

With the St. Petersburg Pier shining under a bright January sun as the backdrop, outgoing Mayor Rick Kriseman gathered family, friends and supporters together for the final stop on his "Faring Well" tour.

Monday's intimate event was a chance for Kriseman to reflect on his last eight years serving the city he loves. Held at the Doc Ford’s restaurant waterfront courtyard, it was a decidedly upbeat affair as Kriseman took the podium with a rum drink in hand. He began his remarks by saying the location was appropriate, as the entire city came together to help build the Pier.

Coming this weekend: St. Pete’s first-ever comic con

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the phrase “comic con” meant, simply, an organized gathering (a.k.a. convention) of comic book fans, getting together to buy, sell, trade and converse with fellow obsessives.

There are hundreds of comic cons in America today, thousands if you factor in the rest of the planet, and even though the comic book aficionado and collector is still the central figure in the plot, comic cons also embrace the very, very popular worlds of anime (Japanese animation), films and TV, sci-fi, horror, roleplaying games and the 3-D fantasy world of cosplay (dressing, to an elaborate degree, like a fictional character).
