Sections of the popular Pinellas Trail that travel under the I-275 overpass with pockets of unused vacant land could be turned into vibrant green spaces.

John Barkett, broker and owner of Barkett Realty in St. Petersburg, alongside Apogee Real Estate Partners, wants to transform the underutilized spaces along the trail into a must-visit destination filled with dog parks, murals and shipping containers for local vendors.

Full immersion trilingual Montessori School to open

A new school in St. Petersburg will not only offer an individualized education designed to foster intellectual, creative and social independence, but it will do so while fully immersing its students in French, Spanish and English.

French founder and owner Virginie Butin opened the first and only Trilingual Montessori School in the Tampa Bay area in January 2019. The campus in Seminole has proven to be popular with families across the region. Butin has 50 families on a waitlist, in addition to the 75 children that currently attend the school.
