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?

Gulfport Police arrested David Ryals, a 28-year-old white male, following a string of crimes targeting elderly women.

St. Petersburg police on the scene of an officer-involved shooting around 9:30 Wednesday night told the Gabber that "everyone is OK."

St. Petersburg police recovered the Mazda 6 used in the stolen car/officer-involved shooting at the Quick Stop at 1440 49th Street.

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.
