What to do this Halloween in St Pete

access_time

This weekend, St Petersburg will be having many events, trails and walks to celebrate Halloween. Here are just a few of the best!

Trick or Treating in the Old Northeast neighborhood

Old Northeast residents have been decorating their homes in anticipation of Halloween for weeks. Anything from simple skeletons on the porch to full haunted houses. Ghosts, witches and zombies swing from trees, severed heads bump into passing trick-or-treaters, and the streets quickly fill as children emerge from buses and cars. Neighbors spend the evening on their porches, offering friendly greetings and candy to trick or treaters.

Since 1996 people continue to come from all over Pinellas to see the biggest celebration of its kind in the Tampa Bay area.

 Three ribbons are awarded for first, second and third places, and a special award is presented for the best-themed decor. Judges are neighborhood volunteers from all age groups who view entries the night before, then meet to vote on the winners.

17th Avenue NE between Cherry and Poplar

 Hellview Cemetery

Hellview Cemetery is a free local haunted attraction in St. Pete, which started in 1996.  No one knows how old Hellview Cemetery really is-some say it existed even before the Seminole Indians ever set foot on the peninsula of what is now Saint Petersburg, Florida. 

This year the disappearance of Madame Oar is still leaving the power balance of Hellview in shambles. Swamp Water Maggie and her loyal tribe of were-wolves, the Lugaru family, have been battling every force of evil that rises within the walls of Hellview for years. Come and see what tries to escape from Hellview this year. Great costumes, makeup and sets.

Miami developer plans implosion to clear way for multifamily project in downtown St. Petersburg

access_time

The 98-year-old Tropicana building in downtown St. Petersburg could be imploded this year to make room for a new residential and hotel complex.

Miami-based Tropicana Redevelopment plans to tear down the four-story, nearly 41,000-square-foot building at 25 Second St. N, across from Jannus Live.

The site had already been approved years ago for a multifamily project, and multifamily projects currently make up the hottest sector of commercial real estate throughout the Sunshine State.

“We feel the timing is right,” vice president Jerome Hollo said. “We love the city and what has been done to the downtown area.”

Tropicana Redevelopment, part of Florida East Coast Realty, bought the building in 2001 for $4 million. The 60-year-old real estate firm specializes in urban high-rise buildings.

Hollo doesn’t know the cost of the new project as plans are still being tweaked. He described the development as “very large.” The building is the only property the firm owns in the Tampa Bay area.

Tenants in the building were told in March to leave by the end of May so the building could be prepared for demolition. The remaining tenants are in the process of moving out, Hollo said.

The firm has not yet sought demolition permits.

Get a feel for the Signature Auction!

access_time

I’ve put together a few short video clips from the Signature Place auction to give you the feel of how exciting the event was. I’d love to see them do this on “The Sage” that Bank of America pretty much owns (100+ units). The Sage is located on the corner of 4th Ave. South and 4th St. South downtown St. Petersburg FL.

This Auction was a great success not only for the health and stability of the Signature building, it also created some MAJOR buzz for the downtown condo market.
