St. Pete restarts process for redevelopment of Tangerine Plaza

The City of St. Petersburg is accepting new proposals for the redevelopment of Tangerine Plaza, which once housed a Sweetbay supermarket and a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Residents living near the site, located at 1794 22nd St. S., were left without a neighborhood grocer when it closed a few years ago. The city bought the plaza after the Walmart Neighborhood Market closed in 2017. 

The city was in the process of negotiating a term sheet with prospective developer Sugar Hill Group LLC to open a grocery store in the shuttered plaza along with affordable housing, an e-sports gaming business and retail; however, the city is now restarting the process and opening the floor to other developers after receiving a new proposal from Sugar Hill.

Orleans plays here Saturday – and John Hall is still the one

Maybe Orleans never quite achieved the stratospheric sales of similar, harmony-based ‘70s bands like America, Firefall or Pablo Cruise, but two songs – “Dance With Me” and “Still the One” – have transcended the decades, appealed enormously to consecutive generations and turn up with regularity on playlist after playlist today. That’s a big rumble on the rock ‘n’ roll Richter scale.

John Hall, who co-wrote both of those tunes with his then-wife Johanna, was a founding member of Orleans, and will be there, playing lead guitar and adding his vocal parts, when the band appears at Ruth Eckerd Hall Saturday (July 23) along with Firefall and Pure Prairie League.
