Could Pinellas County be better?

After being gone for seventeen years, nothing much has changed with Pinellas County.  It is still a low-grade carpet of commercial junkspace from coast to coast, and the edges - where the value really is - aren't much different than they were in the 1990s, with the exception of more.  Not better.

Right to the city

I have been researching destination villages, or urban hot spots, or whatever the appropriate term is for these places where a diversity of people can still be found on the sidewalks, the buildings have been continually modified over time, and one finds a combination of old and new buildings.   And inevitably, I have stumbled upon David Harvey and the notion of the Right to the City.

Agape Word Master Plan

To be unveiled on March 24, the Agape Word Church Master Plan will feature a 40,000 square foot religious education campus featuring a K-12 and Bible College, along with a recording, video editing, and publishing center.  Clustered around a 700-seat sanctuary, the church will become an important institution in the area.

A rich cocktail

Unlike its big sister across the Loch Haven lawn, the Mennello Museum of American Art is no uptight white box. Its richly hued walls and galleries shine warmly in sunlight and are the perfect place for the Smithsonian American Art Museum's touring exhibit Harlem Renaissance. One of seven venues nationwide chosen to host this show, the Mennello has this African-American art during Black History Month, and it will shake you to the core as you drink in the American experience through black artists' eyes.
