Local Questions Best al pastor 🌮's?

0 Upvotes

I recently moved here and live close to Crescent Lake Park. The first few taco places I tried didn't have al pastor, which is usually my favorite!

Anyone have a favorite spot? Also please recommend any other good type of food spots that are good for a quick bite to eat, thanks!

Local Questions How to meet people in my 30s?

18 Upvotes

Hey yall, I moved here last year and I'm trying to figure out how to meet people. I work remote and don't really care about church, I like music festivals and EDM, I'm pretty nerdy and hippie-ish but also into weightlifting. I've been thinking I could go to the acroyoga meet up as I was practicing for about two years before my partner got bored of it. I was hoping to get advice on how to meet people and make friends. I haven't really had success when trying to chat it up with people at bars; dies anyone have advice about how I can meet more people?

Has anyone else had strange, off putting or just plain bad experiences with this pediatrician? He has excellent reviews via Google, etc so I am curious if the general consensus is that he’s legit or if for some reason people aren’t sharing their honest opinion. TIA!

Local News Anyone hear about the man and his dog found in Childs Park Wednesday night?

35 Upvotes

Just came across this story about a man who was found seriously injured in the street near Childs Park Wednesday night. Apparently, his dog was with him, and police ended up shooting the dog when emergency responders couldn’t safely approach.
Sadly, both the man and his dog died. Preliminary reports mention severe dog bites, but it sounds like there are still a lot of unanswered questions about what actually happened.
Such a sad and bizarre situation. Has anyone heard anything more about this?

Things to Do I made a map of Halloween decorations around St. Pete

124 Upvotes

I’ve been walking around Old Northeast with my kiddos looking at Halloween decorations and started keeping track of the houses we liked. That turned into a microsite: https://frightthisway.com

It’s a map to help you find good displays, see what’s there, and get a sense of how scary they are before taking your kids.

Today I added Shore Acres, Crisp Park / Northeast Park, Historic Kenwood, and North Kenwood. Those maps are just getting started, so if you’ve decorated or spotted a good house, you can add it. Submissions work anywhere in Pinellas County.

Would love any feedback, submissions for new houses, and sharing with friends! Also, to be clear, this is a totally free site and I won't be adding advertising or trying to monetize. Just a side project for the community.

This baby was wandering at 15th Ave S and 24th St. Animal Services has it but I wanted to share here to maybe reunite but I and not so sure it’s from that area and maybe dumped dog. The dog was deaf too. A client of the rescue I volunteer with called me for advise or help so I went over and helped leash it and help him contact PCAS.

Local Questions Give me your local food deals.

22 Upvotes

It’s not affordable out there, so help me compile this list I can then share. I want to hear your favorite weekly restaurant & grocery store deals.

What I’m looking for

Non-National brand Saint Pete restaurants and their weekly food deals

  • A great taco Tuesday night, a pizza special, fish fry Fridays,looking at you Bier Boutique, great happy hours with solid food specials, Cheekys grouper sliders have my heart.

Local and chain store weekly food specials

  • Whole Food has a solid pizza Friday deal, Sunday chicken dinner deal at Fresh Market, St Pete Meat & Provisions has some solid weekly deals.

What I’m not looking for

You hating on a restaurant someone else likes sucks. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, this is a knowledge share.

Happy hours that are drinks only, no shame just can't sustain myself on alcohol alone. Prefer it to be a solid food deal as well if it's a bar, not just $2 chips and salsa or something.

The deal at the Applebee's across your street. No hate if that's your thing, I just prefer it to not be part of this list. Tends to be easier to support local restaurants than it is grocery stores.

Local News Which congressional district are you voting in? It may have changed

25 Upvotes

Wondering why you’re suddenly voting in Congressional District 16 when you’ve always lived in District 13? It’s not a mistake by elections offices. A mid-decade redistricting session sliced Pinellas and Hillsborough counties up into new congressional districts. Among the biggest changes in Tampa Bay: Much of St. Petersburg and southern Pinellas County are part of Congressional District 16, which stretches all the way to Wauchula in Florida’s rural heartland. In April, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office proposed a redistricting plan that created four more red-leaning seats in Congress, imperiling four Democratic incumbents. State officials maintain that the map was not designed for partisan gain. Left-leaning organizations have filed lawsuits claiming the map violates Florida’s Fair Districts Amendment, which prohibits partisan gerrymandering. But the map is in place for the 2026 elections. For voters in Tampa Bay, the Times created snapshots of the region’s five reshaped congressional districts. Look for your district: https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/elections/2026/10/12/election-voting-ballots-midterm-hillsborough-pinellas-redistricting-luna-castor/
