Tiger Bay or Tiger Lilly?

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Like with so many others, my relationship with Tiger Bay is becoming a love-hate situation. I love going to the forums, I think they hate when I show up and make the likes of Leslie Curran quiver with discomfort. Earlier this year and behind closed doors, the board of Tiger Bay contemplated taking away a fang-and-claw award I received for a question I asked Mayor Rick Baker. The rationale for this unprecedented action (seriously) had something to do with Beverly…

10 things I think I think about yesterday’s candidate forum at Tiger Bay

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Honestly, I am often apprehensive about going to Tiger Bay. I know I make a lot of people (that means you, Leslie Curran) uncomfortable by just being in the room. But my apprehension subsides quickly once I see all the familiar faces. Plus, I’ve won a couple of fang-and-claw awards, I try to ask good, tough questions (I’d have won a few more fang-and-claw awards by now if some of the judges weren’t those same people I make uncomfortable) and,…

City Council candidates at Tiger Bay today

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The two races for St. Petersburg City Council District 5 and 6 seats each share common elements. They both contain economically and racially diverse areas of the City with some of the most valuable, and most economically troubled real estate. They also feature open, or nearly open, seats as opposed to other districts where the incumbents are fairly securely entrenched. But the most interesting element each shares is the field of candidates. Each has a presumed front-runner. In District 5…

Pinellas Realtors explain endorsements

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Is this going to be one of the new trends this election season, in which organizations explain their endorsements? Sierra Club explained why it endorsed Scott Wagman for St. Petersburg Mayor; now the Pinellas Realtors are explaining (albeit with several spelling errors I had to correct) the endorsement they made last week in the City Council races: District 2: James Kennedy – Kennedy earned the committee’s recommendation because of his commitment to growth management planning as well as his overall…

Tiger Bay puts paw in mouth with announcement for Steve Kornell/Angela Rouson debate

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Last month, I wrote that Tiger Bay’s announcement for Chuck Harmon’s appearance was just a little too over the top, even by the organization’s snarky standards. Now, it looks like Tiger Bay has put its paw in its mouth again with its announcement for the program for the candidates for St. Petersburg City Council. Originally, the announcement read: Fat Cats, Dark Horses and Underdogs – The two races for St. Petersburg City Council District 5 and 6 seats each share…

Two best websites may be from City Council candidates, not mayoral contenders

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Of the 22 individuals crazy enough to run for elected office in St. Petersburg, the two with perhaps the best websites are candidates for City Council, rather than the better-funded candidates for Mayor. Well, mayoral candidate Scott Wagman has the best website, with plenty of YouTube videos. But at an expense of $20K, the cost of Wagman’s website far exceeds its value. Jamie Bennett had a good-looking, workhorse of a website, loaded with several active blogs. But since I left…
