Stakeholders disagree on Dali expansion

While St. Petersburg voters will ultimately decide the fate of the Dali Museum's long-debated expansion next month, one key stakeholder remains opposed to the idea.

The St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership brought city officials and stakeholders together to discuss the project at its monthly Leadership Luncheon, held Monday at the Hilton Bayfront. Panelists included Dr. Hank Hine, executive director of The Dali; Mark Cantrell president and CEO of Tthe Florida Orchestra; Bill Edwards, chairman and CEO of Big3 Entertainment; and Chris Ballestra, managing director of development for the city.

Sunken Gardens gets a new window into the past

Nearly a century after it opened to the public, Sunken Gardens – the longest-lived tourist destination in St. Petersburg – is officially recognizing and celebrating its history.

The four-acre botanical garden at 1825 4th Street North, in the Old Northeast area, has been owned by the city since 1999. Behind its 14-foot walls, it still looks very much like the lush garden Jacksonville plumber George Turner and his wife Eula created from a swamp they bought in 1911. They transformed the site into a scenic showplace for hundreds of species of exotic and indigenous plants.
