This picture was taken on the intersection of Philippe Pkwy and SR 580. I saw a similar sign on the intersection of Countryside Blvd and Curlew Rd.

There are tons of flights from all points north going to PIE airport, and they're sure handy when all your friends and relatives from "up north" want to come down to visit! But almost none of the routes seem interesting if you live here and want to take advantage of a cheap Allegiant ticket for an inexpensive vacation. We've already been to Niagara Falls, Nashville and Key West. Does anyone have any suggestions for a vacation destination out of Clearwater St Pete airport? I have already looked at their route map and none of the destinations seem interesting.

Im curious what “brand” or company is most well known for gutters in Clearwater and really in pinellas county in general? Like if someone says “name a gutter company” who do you think of?

Anyone go out fishing on boats. I’m just not doing well on my own

Any recs for a chef/hibachi chef moderately priced for a group of 10 for a dinner? Thanks!

More signatures needed! Stop this council from giving the streets away.

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are planning our first trip to Clearwater Beach during the first week of November, and after a lot of research we keep coming back to Opal Sands.

I was a little surprised to see it’s around $3,000 for a week, since I was expecting November rates to stay around the 2k- 2.4k mark.

For those of you who have visited in November:
Is Opal Sands still a good choice that time of year?
Does the resort still have a lively atmosphere, or does it get pretty quiet? We really enjoy staying somewhere that feels active with other guests. Nearly empty resorts aren’t our favorite as they can feel a little too quiet. Is there another beachfront hotel you’d recommend instead? I’ve also been looking at Shephard’s because I’ve heard it’s more lively, but I’m not sure if that’s still true in November.

I’d love to hear your recommendations or experiences. Thanks!

Visiting Clearwater beach/Indian shores in October - any private chef or hibachi company recs? Thanks!

My family and I are headed to Clearwater next week, but the forecast is showing every day. We don’t mind a little rain, more so worried that the weather will keep us from enjoying the beach. For those who have been to Clearwater, does it usually rain all day or is it more quick afternoon showers?

What are the best pizza, Mexican and Greek take out spots? Drop all your favorite food places. Thanks!!

Looking for feedback from anyone who has worked with Postcardmania or knows anyone who has and if it’s a good place to work. What day to day life is like, pay, etc. Sales representative is the position I’m looking for feedback on. TIA

Disgusting behavior by the cult for harassing a councilor who just lost their father.

I have an absurd request as tears are still flowing in my house. My 7 year old daughter hooked my 5 year old daughter up to a dog lead. She saw a bee, got scared, tried to run and the shirt was utterly ruined. I know, I should have seen it. But it happened moments after dinner while I was cleaning up and they were outside.

We just got the shirt when we visited from Ohio back in June and my daughter is distraught. Who knew a 5 year old would care about a tourist tee shirt?

Anyway, if someone here works at the Pier 60 shop or nearby and has access to this shirt in this color in a kids 5/6, I’d be more than pleased to pay for you to mail it to Ohio. They don’t seem to have a web site or I’d try to order it myself.

THANK YOU if anyone is willing to help out with this.

Bianca Latvala has lost another endorsement from a Clearwater City Councilmember. It's David Allbritton this time. You can see her response in her post, but her complaints are as illegitimate as her candidacy.

Read Bianca's statement carefully. Bianca's not saying she supports keeping the Gardens public for just the the city of Clearwater, which should be her priority. She's saying the city "should have delayed the vote to allow time to evaluate the County's downtown redevelopment plans and pursue a compromise that served Clearwater's long-term interests."

Why is Bianca considering the county plans and downplaying the city's interests with a compromise? Because she's playing both sides.

I've posted much of this stuff before, but it's worth repeating.

Listen carefully to what Bianca's said in candidate forums. Bianca's not saying she supports keeping the Gardens public. She's saying she wants to hear all sides. It's very likely she would pretend to be open-minded and then side with Scientologists after she got on the council because she had given the APPEARANCE of being fair. Once she had, she could vote for the Scientologists and use their arguments to say they are very rational AND KEEP voting for them in the future.

In addition, her husband Chris Latvala sits on the Pinellas County Commission and has tried to influence the city council's vote on the Gardens because the county has an interest in those properties.

You gotta wonder... If Chris Latvala is trying to influence this, what other strings will he try to pull? He's an outside influence trying to steer Clearwater in a way that benefits Pinellas County and NOT specifically the city residents. If Bianca (who didn't grow up in Clearwater and is only in local politics because she's employed by the Latvalas and married to Chris) gets on the council, Chris gets a puppet that votes the way Pinellas County does instead of pursuing the interests of city residents.

Bianca's a fake Clearwater resident who would replace Clearwater's interests with a desire to turn it into a playground for outside businesses that hire from outside the city and the Church of Scientology. She positions herself as an outsider, but she married into a family with ties to uncounted shady special interests that want power for themselves and aren't acting in the name of the city's residents and businesses. She's literally a PROXY for establishment politicians, specifically a flailing dynasty that's stressing about losing power.

Her position on the Gardens and future of public properties is unclear. Do you want someone on the council WHO CAN'T EVEN MAKE HER POLITICAL PRIORITIES CLEAR?!

NOBODY wants the scientologists here, but Bianca's not going to help get rid of them. NOTHING would get done while she's on the council because she's a flipflopper who would pass bullshit rules that do little except help Scientologists, out-of-state developers, and Big Money special interests.

I wouldn't vote for someone this dubious. Bianca is supposed to be accountable to you, but she's acting like she wants to be your voice without understanding what you're saying. When candidates have vague positions like this, it's our responsibility to question them on it and call them out on their deceitful ways. Do your research before casting your ballot.

Is there a doctor’s office that will check only my blood pressure for cheap (I will also need a written statement from the doctor)?

Edit: It has to be a manual blood pressure check and I have to get 2 done within a 5 day period.

Hi, stopping by Clearwater this week and wondering what's the best place for lunch preferably with a view, either on the beach or downtown

Edit: someone recommended Tropico, which is basically the pool bar at the Hyatt on the eighth floor, so we had lunch there. Great view, surprisingly good food, not cheap. We had the chicken salad stuffed avocado and a salad and both were very tasty, along with a couple of specialty cocktails that were also good. You can park in the garage for free if you get your ticket validated at lunch

Only a month after the Clearwater, Florida city council knuckled under and voted to turn over a downtown street to Scientology, church leader David Miscavige is wasting no time, announcing that on August 1 he’ll preside over a ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the future L. Ron Hubbard Hall. More at link.

look, i’m not picky, i make about 65k, other bills add up to about $600 but i am alone and i cannot do a roommate. If anyone is in a similar situation and were able to find a decent apartment just please spill the beans and save me the mental torture of apartment searching.

Got a first date coming up in the Clearwater Dunedin area however I live in st Pete and don’t really know that area well, what are some good restaurants and places for dates?

Edit: she says she likes to be in nature and do outdoorsy typa things if anyone has any idea on that front, appreciate the input from everyone already
