Yesterday, an anonymous source contacted me with information that City of St. Petersburg Deputy Mayor and former Police Chief Goliath ‘Go’ Davis had been stopped by Gulfport Police on suspicion of DUI.

With the full cooperation of the Gulfport Police department, I was able to track down an incident…

Battleground Tampa Bay

in Peter/Statewide by

During last year’s St. Petersburg Mayoral Campaign, when I published blog post after blog post about that election, I took note of a subtle trend in how visitors were arriving on my site.
