in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Rick Kriseman’s viral tweet Monday night “banning” Donald Trump from St. Pete for his inflammatory comments toward Muslims has gotten a lot of attention. It’s been shared thousands of times. National media networks have picked up the story. But one of St. Pete’s local bloggers (whom I quite like, actually) isn’t particularly amused.

Mitch Perry Report for 12.8.15 — Remembering John Lennon

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Props to St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, whose rebuke to Donald Trump via Twitter is a featured story on this morning’s Drudge Report. I’m going to let the fallout from Trump’s comment that the U.S. government should ban all Muslims from entering the country marinate for at least another 24 hours, to think about something else. It was 35 years tonight that John Lennon was assassinated in New York City. For those of us around at the time, it’s a moment where we…

Rick Kriseman’s Frank Sinatra covers serves as Happy Birthday to The Voice

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Saturday is Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday. It may have been a few days early, but in honor of Ol’ Blue Eyes, St. Pete Mayor Rick Kriseman posted a special kind of happy birthday on his political Facebook page. Last November, at the 10th anniversary celebration of the Studio @620 at the coliseum, Kriseman sang his own rendition of one of Sinatra’s hits – “My Kind of Town.” In Sinatra’s original, the town, of course, is Chicago. But in Kriseman’s version…
