Editorial: Remove St. Petersburg garbage truck cameras
St. Petersburg sanitation drivers have a valid complaint about working conditions. The cameras constantly recording them as they drive their routes are intrusive and should be removed. The cameras were installed last year in an effort to improve safety. But drivers in labor negotiations with the city say the devices make them feel under constant surveillance. That's not just a perception. The two-way cameras record both the driver and the view out the windshield, nonstop. The outward-facing came..>> view originalFamilies of three St. Petersburg girls who drowned in pond plan to ...
LARGO — One year after authorities said three teenage girls drove a stolen car into a cemetery pond and drowned, lawyers for their mothers announced that they still plan to sue the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. "We are going to fight, fight, fight," Kunde Mwamvita, the mother of Dominique Battle, said Friday, the one-year anniversary of her daughter's death. "Fight for justice, until justice is served." The lawyers, Michele Whitfield and Aaron T. O'Neal, said the lawsuit will allege the Sher..>> view originalMan wounded in controversial 2013 shooting by St. Pete Police ...

Imagine yourself on a zipline. Fun, right? Even better, imagine yourself on a zipline over a gallery filled with fragile glass sculptures. Perhaps you've got a nice, fragile piece of glass artwork clutched in your hand as you zip along over the Warehouse Arts District in St. Petersburg.

PETERSBURG — The new Shaw Sports Turf playing surface at the Trop should play and feel better than what the Rays have had before, officials say, based on a combination of improvements including shorter blades, proprietary manufacturing technology combining three distinct fibers, a sand-heavy in-fill and a polyurethane pad underneath. And as if not more important, it should look better. "The appearance for me is going to be the big thing," Rays vice president Rick Nafe said.
