St. Pete resident
Montreace Fields
earns her diploma at
43, and the whole
city is cheering her
on. We did a Boomer
Date Night at the
Trop, we’ve got
tourism maxxing
happening on St.
Pete Beach, and
TROPtober is coming
as the Rays have the
3rd-best record in
all of
baseball.
Let’s get into
it!

NEVER TOO
LATE
What
Everyone Is
Talking
About
|
|
|
St. Pete Mom
Earns Her
GED at 43,
and the
Whole City’s
Proud
|
Montreace
Fields
just
proved
that
the
timeline
doesn’t
matter,
the
finish
line
does.
At
43,
the
St.
Pete
mom
officially
earned
her
GED
through
Pinellas
County
Schools,
taking
a
path
to
graduation
that
wasn’t
exactly
traditional
but
got
the
job
done
anyway.
No
age
limit
on
chasing
a
goal.
No
expiration
date
on
proving
something
to
yourself.
Just
a
whole
lot
of
persistence
that
paid
off.

BOOMER DATE
NIGHT

|

The Trop.
But Make it
Romantic.
|
We
took
two
of
our
favorite
lovebirds
out
for
the
full
Trop
experience:
a
suite,
a
few
ballpark
dogs,
some
baseball,
and
a
little
quality
time
under
the
dome.
Proof
that
romance
can,
in
fact,
involve
hot
dogs
and
nine
innings.

St. Pete
Beach Locals
Have a Name
for This
Summer, and
It’s
“Tourism
Maxxing”
|
If
it
feels
like
everybody
decided
to
vacation
here
at
the
exact
same
time,
that’s
because
they
kind
of
did.
Packed
beaches,
slammed
restaurants,
short-term
rentals
turning
over
nonstop,
and
a
Gulf
Boulevard
that
hasn’t
slowed
down
all
season.

the
year

St.
Pete: TROPtober!

Rays
are
currently
78–53,

all
of

have
to
finish
this
final
stretch
strong.

THIS.

A

is

this,
as
if
it
were
completely
normal.
Artwork?
Storage?
Secret

We
have
questions.

you

what
this
thing
is,
the

PHOTO OF THE
WEEK
600 Block
Mystery
SOLVED!
|
|
We
asked
what
the
hell
was
going
on
with
this
long-legged,
chain-maned
horse
on
Central,
and
the
Burg
came
through.
Turns
out
it
was
donated
by
local
sculptor
James
Oleson,
one
of
the
pioneers
of
the
600
Block
art
scene,
with
more
than
a
few
people
pointing
out
the
homage
to
Dalí’s
iconic
long-legged
elephants.
Mystery
solved.
Legend
confirmed.
Got
a
shot
of
your
own
St.
Pete
moment?

it
our
way
for
a
chance
to
be
featured
next
week!

you

That’s
a
wrap
on
this
week’s

Pete

get
out
there,
support
the
locals,
enjoy
this
beautiful
city,

St.
Pete

We’ll

week
with
more
stories,
more
vibes,
and
more
of
what
makes
St.
Pete
so
special.
Stay
