Welcome to South Saint Petersburg

The South St Pete web site is currently under development. All you will see here is random notes.

St Petersburg mayoral candidate Jamie Bennett chose the theme "One Saint Petersburg" for his campaign in 2009. Unfortunately for him, this failed to resonate with the voters and he didn't get past the primary vote.

The reason he and his slogan was not successful was because if anything, it reminded the people of the City of St Petersburg that there are indeed, TWO St Petes. One, the more affluent white parts of the city in the North and the West, and the other, the poorer, black section of the city, including the majority of the core southern part of the city. Areas close to the water on the Southside of St Pete tend to be whiter and more affluent as well.

Why South St Pete will never change

Cornel West - indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself

He is the man who got St Petersburg mayoral candidate Kathleen Ford into trouble when she quoted his HNIC (Head Negro in Charge) in reference to Goliath Davis's position as de facto ambassador for St Petersburg's African American population. Of course, the St Pete Times beat the story up, and Davis pounced on it in an effort to protect his $170,000 per year job as Deputy Mayor, one that would surely disappear if Ford triumphed.

Vote for change. If you want business as usual here, with certain people calling the shots in Downtown and certain others calling the shots in Midtown, then you know who to vote for. If you want to make a difference, then vote for the other candidate. :-)

The only way that the South Side will change is through the following agents: Lots of bulldozers, or a very well placed hurricane.

If one person decides not to buy a home for sale there, or buy some gum, or start a business, then I will have succeeded.

The people who can't tolerate crime and are believers in justice have already left. Those who are left tolerate crime. A friend of ours didn't even mention to her husband the tragedy that befell us. It may have been because she was notoriously and loveably self centered, or maybe because it was nothing out of the ordinary.
