How to Have a Good Time at El Cap
The writers of MetroPete are on a quest to discover and talk about all the great people, places and things found in the heart of St. Petersburg. One task we really enjoy is reviewing award winning eateries like El Cap, 3500 4th St N. During the course of our research, we were surprised to discover that more than a third of the El Cap reviews on one popular ratings site are critical of the iconic burger joint...
Wilson's Book World: Hiding In Plain Sight
St. Pete book lovers, you are in for a treat. Hiding in plain sight at 2394 9th Street N, Wilson's Book World is the kind of business the writers of MetroPete love to find and explore. Owned and operated by the same family for nearly 40 years, this shop is a throw-back to a different era. Along with its whimsically mismatched bookshelves and just the right amount of dust, this unique bookstore offers affordable prices on 200,000 titles, genuine medieval texts, comics and original art . . . inside and out.
35BZ
Thirty-Five Block Zone
"35BZ" is an abbreviation of "Thirty-FIve Block Zone," and it refers to our coverage area...a 35 block radius around downtown St Pete. You will also see it referred to it as the "Heart of St Pete."
Why is this area special? We have noticed a quality that sets this dynamic zone apart from much of greater St Petersburg. In the 35 block zone, the city center and inner residential areas interact with each other in a way that creates a character that is unique. It has to do with the vitality, variety and creativity that can be found when living, working and playing in the 35BZ.
