Tag Archives: Child’s Park

Rufus Brown hasn’t had it easy; he’s a single dad with sole custody of his six children.

I’ve heard for years that Childs Park and other south St. Pete residents don’t care about the litter in or look of their communities, that they accept more crime and don’t mind lack of decent groceries and other niceties we take for granted. Note that although I said “south St. Pete residents” I don’t really believe that’s what people mean when they say it. I mean, the streets of Broadwater and the pink streets aren’t really rife with old Mello Yello bottles and Swisher cigar wrappers, are they?

Soon Childs Park and southwestern St. Pete residents will have a satellite city hall at the local YMCA.

I sense you may not realize how disheartening life in the south side can be, so I extend a very public invitation: let’s go for a bike ride.
