Did you guys hear that?!

I almost panicked, it sounded like a plane was going to crash into my house.

PSA: Your local library card comes with more perks than just books! Things like free museum passes, seed libraries, ukuleles, movies, and more. Worth a look if you haven’t checked recently.

Just wanted to give a nice shout out to our SunRunner bus driver. My wife and I are in from out of town. We decided to take the sunrunner across the city not really knowing what we were doing/going. We dont take public transportation where we are from back home. Yea he was just super friendly, as well as everyone else we have met here so far to be honest. Cheers

Are there any local Filipino food restaurants? I see a few in Tampa but none on this side of the bridge. Are there any restaurants that also sell Filipino food that I just don’t know about? I’m looking specifically for lumpia and pancit. I’ve been having dreams about it and the lumpia I get from MD Oriental and fry myself never have the same taste. I had some from the flipping tasty food truck before but I know they’re mostly in Tampa now. Thank you all!

Another addition to the downtown St. Pete coffee scene. Lucky Cup Coffee is officially open inside the Galaxy Hotel.

Every morning on my walk without fail I am cat called by someone, usually someone driving by stops and tells something like “yo baby where you headed” every single morning. Does anyone else experience this? I’m pretty sick of it and kind of worried one day I won’t get so lucky and they won’t keep driving

I’m from AZ about to graduate from ASU in May! I was accepted into FSU for my masters, but I’m going to take a gap year so I can get in-state tuition starting fall 2027. With that said, I’m thinking of taking my gap year in St. Pete’s!

Can I get some insight into neighborhoods or areas I should look into? I’m a bit nervous because isn’t St. Pete a bit more pricey than other areas? I was considering Tampa, but that thread said I’d like St. Pete’s more since I like the farmers markets, coffee shops, concerts and outdoors kinda vibe. Also, I’m a server and bartender so would like to work in a very busy area! Also desire to be close to the beach.

Am I asking for too much? lol don’t be afraid to burst my bubble but still be kind :)

I just relocated and want to switch jobs. No one is happy where I work. It’s a toxic work environment. I have an undergrad science degree and almost done with my masters in social work. Tell me about where you work, why you like it and the benefits please!!

I like to hand wash my own truck with my own soap and sponge. I used to do that in my driveway but now I live in an apartment. I just want to find a car wash with a covered bay and a hose with running water, where I can wash and dry my own truck at my own pace. Someplace that rents by the hour or offers some kind of monthly membership. I don't use automatic car washes and I won't use one of those foam brushes at the self-serve ones. I just want to wash my truck by hand, does some place like this exist or do I have to invent it myself? I can't find one anywhere in St Pete and I'm hoping someone here can help me. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a place where I can donate unused baby and postpartum items. I have opened diapiers (both for baby and for the laboring person), shampoos, creams, a breast pump, bottles, maternity clothes, etc. I was wondering if there’s someone I can take everything, hopefully so it can be provided to someone who really needs it. Thank you!

Hey all,

Is there any recourse at all for neighbors who throw insanely loud parties, with a DJ?

To the point where we can hear and feel their bass from the bedroom, late into the night, midnight / 1am. Disston heights area, usually a quiet neighborhood but these awful people moved in this year. What do we do? It’s impossible to sleep or even watch tv in our own homes without their music overpowering it.

Alright so here’s the thing I fucking love maydays ice cream sprinkles. They are superior and delicious. In the past they sold them in jars but have since stopped doing so. I visit Florida 1-2 times a year and am currently here. Any clue how to get the hookup to buy their sprinkles, like a huge jar or cup of it.

Hey all, We love your city and return as often as we can!

We are hoping for some nightlife recomendations. Finalists so far for tonight are on opposite sides of the city. Jimmy Bs (have been a few times over the years and always have fun) or Good Night John Boy (reviews look good).

We are looking for great vibes, people watching and dancing. We are in our 50s, but dont want to be the only old ones in the room, or youngest for that matter.

Thank you in advance for your help!
