As for the other seat, Lorraine Kelly has hired…

Caladesi Island is just off the coast of Dunedin.” Just for the record, Fort Desoto Beach has been retired from the Top 10 list. Guess where I…

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

From The Buzz: Former USF St Pete Dean Bill Heller looks to many Democrats like a dream candidate for recapturing state House District 52, now held by Frank Farkas. But despite heavy recruiting from Betty Castor and others, Heller has not yet decided to run. Meanwhile Republican frontrunner Angelo Cappelli says he gave the dean a little warning a few weeks ago. “I told him, ‘If you run against me, make sure you know I’m bringing everything I have to…

in Apolitical/Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

There are few young women as intelligent, classy, fun-loving and beautiful as my friend Britt Brock, best friend of the Shady Intern Sara, through whom I met Miss Brock. Brittany, a member of Zeta Tau Alpha at FSU and a recent debutante here in St. Pete, turned 21 yesterday and, no doubt, enjoyed one hell of a rockin’ Tennessee (St.) Waltz. Always where the party is at, Britt organized a Punk Princess outing last night to celebrate her birthday and…
