Sable Is Home. Free Rays Tickets Are on Us!

Welcome to St. Pete Vibes Weekly

Your weekly inside look at the stories, spots, and weekends worth showing up for.

Opening Take

Our St. Pete-loving peoples!

We have a jam-packed newsletter for y’all this week!

A Tampa resident lost her dog after a bad car accident, and the community came together to help locate her. We officially have 3D-printed homes happening in St. Pete, and our one and only Hailey B wants to know: Where are the best coffee spots in St. Pete?

That and much more on the local front!

We’re also giving away tickets to Friday’s Rays game because the boys are coming home and are 6 games up in the standings!

Let’s get into it. This is your St. Pete Vibes Weekly!

A HAPPY ENDING

What Everyone Is Talking About

Sable Made It Home

After a rollover crash, Piper Melton’s dog Sable got loose and disappeared. With Melton recovering, friends, neighbors and a local Pinellas County podcaster stepped in, sharing her photo, checking neighborhoods and helping keep the search going until Sable was finally back home.

BUILT DIFFERENT

St. Pete Is 3D-Printing Its Next Affordable Home

St. Pete is trying something new in the affordable housing playbook: printing the house.

A robotic arm is laying concrete layer by layer for the city’s first 3D-built affordable home, with four more planned after it. The home is part of St. Pete’s Affordable Lot Disposition Program and is expected to go to a buyer earning at or below 120% of the area median income.

Same housing problem. Much bigger printer.

CAFFEINE CHECK

The St. Pete Coffee Debate Is Now Open

Hailey B. is working her way through some of the coffee spots St. Pete locals keep talking about. A few made the first round, but the list is far from settled.

So naturally, we’re handing this over to the people with strong caffeine opinions. See where she stopped, then tell us which coffee shop deserves a spot on the next run!

Come for Dinner. Stay for the View.

Buoy’s has the kind of waterfront setup that makes dinner feel like more of an occasion. The food was great, the service was on point, and that St. Pete Beach view makes it very easy to hang around a little longer than planned.

Think your business passes the vibe check? We want to see it!

Back in the Burg

Free Rays Tickets. Because Why Not.

Yep. You read that right.

We’re giving away FOUR tickets to the Rays vs. Orioles game this weekend.

And did we mention food and drinks are included?

Bring friends. Bring family. Bring whoever suddenly remembers your birthday.

Ready to Rays Up this Sunday?

CAN YOU GUESS? Name This St. Pete Beach Dive Bar

No cocktails with seventeen ingredients. No beer served in glassware that needs its own Wikipedia page. Just Styrofoam cups, cans, burgers, wings, and a bathroom that has apparently seen some things.

If you know this St. Pete Beach institution from the bathroom alone, congratulations. You’ve been around.

Think you know the spot? Drop your guess before checking the comments!
