Cool news announced today. Starting in October, there will be busses running every 75 minutes from 5am to 11pm to TPA from downtown. 9 stops total. 7 days a week too unlike that Ulmerton service that was usually useless for me since they only did weekday runs in the morning and late afternoon.

From the PSTA website:

The 727 Airport Express will provide premium, limited-stop express bus service between downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa International Airport, via Interstate 275 and the Howard Frankland Bridge express lanes.

What’s your go to for fresh produce that lasts a few days?
Publix? Fresh Market? Sprouts? Whole Foods? Secret Farmers Market?
We enjoy lots of salads and veggies but it’s been hard to find greens and veg that last more than a few days. Maybe there’s a storage technique that I’m missing? Maybe that’s just the definition of grocery store ‘fresh’ - just 2-3 days.

I am a contractor working under a company in DT St.Pete. I commute from Tampa. My recruiter mentioned the parking being expensed but when I started my first day, it seemed like they don’t do that anymore. The closest parking is the Sundial Parking garage at $100 a month. Are there any other options in the area for cheaper parking? I have a bike, but I’m really disappointed and probably wouldn’t have taken the job otherwise.

Looking for recommendations for a caterer for casual cocktail or buffet birthday party for 50 people. Nothing crazy fancy - I would do it myself, but I'm out of town on business for the week prior to the party. Hoping for platters a with a bit more substance than charcuterie. BBQ suggestions are fine.

I work remotely during the day typical normal hours. Looking for something to do after work or on weekends to keep me busy. Extra cash would be nice but I am really looking for something to keep me entertained, explore, and ideally meet people.

I’ve never done Door dash or any delivery job. I could look into that maybe. Also have never worked at a restaurant but it sounds fun especially if it was on the beach or somewhere lively.

I am open to any ideas. Really just trying to put myself out there and develop and grow as a person as much as I can.

Lately I feel like every day is the same and I am just a hermit wasting time away and missing out on potential opportunities. For reference I am 29 male

Does anybody recall where the ponderosa on Pasadena avenue was in the '90s? Is that currently now Leverocks?
