St. Pete pride murals painted over – again

Weeks after portions of two St. Petersburg Pride murals began bubbling up through the black surfaces that covered them last year, the intersections at Central Avenue and 25th Street and Central Avenue and 5th Street have been covered – again.

The Catalyst observed the changes but did not receive a response from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) confirming it was their work or when the black paint was applied. Even numerous city officials were unaware that the murals were painted over again, saying that if the murals were repainted, it wasn't done by the city.

Florida considers $30 million Clearwater land deal

Florida is considering purchasing nearly 28 acres at Mandalay Point, at the northern tip of Clearwater Beach, through its Florida Forever program. The property sits across Dunedin Pass from Caladesi Island State Park and includes beach, dunes, coastal grassland and mangroves.

The owners proposed selling the land outright to the state, according to a preliminary evaluation prepared for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Florida’s Acquisition and Restoration Council began considering the proposal in December and has since advanced it through the state’s acquisition process.
