“It has been said that attachment to a place increases with the distinctiveness of that place. As big-box stores, fast-food chains, and sprawl overtake so many Florida cities, St. Pete has jealously guarded its charm and distinctiveness. And we love it for that.

Preserve the ‘Burg will explore the city’s unique personality in a new series of one-minute videos, titled ‘A Sense of Place’. The series will offer a glimpse into those places and people that make St. Pete special. We hope these videos will remind you, as we all stay sheltered in our homes, how lucky we are to be a part of a place as special as St. Petersburg.

The first video in this series is focused on First Block. Would you believe that St. Pete and all of Pinellas County banned alcohol 7 years before Prohibition took effect across the Country?…”
