St. Pete Chamber’s 125th annual event highlights inclusive growth

Despite a 7:30 a.m. start time, over 300 local civic and business leaders gathered Friday for the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce’s 125th annual meeting.

The event's title, "Rise & Shine," was a double entendre for the city’s trajectory. A procession of speakers highlighted its recent growth, inclusivity and bright future at the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg’s Center for Health Equity.

Billy Joel will release a single, “Turn the Lights Back On,” Feb. 1. It’s his first new song in 17 years, and even its predecessor was a one-off single. Joel hasn’t made a full album since River of Dreams in 1993.

However, Mr. Piano Man has never stopped touring and selling out performances wherever he goes. This summer he’ll wrapped up a 10-year string of monthly dates at Madison Square Garden in New York City. All sellouts.
