Welch: Moffitt still intends to come to St. Pete

St. Petersburg city council members and Mayor Ken Welch are hopeful Moffitt will bring a cancer center to the city - despite the mayor's move to kill the initial Moffitt/TPA Group deal. 

"We did not lose Moffitt. I was in conversations with their chair, the CEO. They still intend to be here," Welch said during a Thursday city council meeting. "TPA was a totally separate part of that proposal that weighed it down. If it was just Moffitt, I think it would have a much different outcome."

Signed, sealed, delivered: Talking with artist Tes One

St. Petersburg got its first taste of painter/muralist Leon Bedore’s work in the early 1990s. The Pinellas County Center for the Arts student was a graffiti artist, a kid with a bagful of spray cans, creating kamikaze style in public places. That’s when he took on his tag, Tes One. The name didn’t really mean anything - it looked cool, and it sprayed out fast.

He even got arrested once.
