Expanded ‘table’ ban becomes law in St. Pete

The St. Petersburg City Council has approved an ordinance that bans unpermitted vendor tables and “table-like objects” that attract crowds and block sidewalks, despite concerns about the specific activities it will prohibit. 

Council members passed the initiative, which significantly expands a 2019 ordinance limited to the downtown core and Beach Drive, by a 5-3 vote at the June 15 public hearing. The exclusionary zone now stretches from the St. Pete Pier west through the Grand Central District and includes Mirror Lake, Tropicana Field and Albert Whitted Park.

The Catalyst interview: John Petrucci of Dream Theater

Genre-splitting, in popular music, is an art form. In ancient times, you played, rock, soul, jazz or country, case closed. It was probably in the late ‘60s, early ‘70s, that infamous Petri dish of musical change, when the borders began blurring. And things got really interesting.

Dream Theater arrived in the latter part of the 1980s playing a hybrid of progressive rock (aka prog), with its complex melodic and structural changes, and heavy metal – guitars chugging like locomotives, solos screaming, all about thunderous power.
