St. Petersburg

The Ovation building in St. Petersburg. - Julie Busch

About $2 billion has been invested in downtown redevelopment since the late 1990s, establishing St. Petersburg as a leader in the marine sciences and financial services clusters. The city is also building a new $35 million museum to house the works of Salvador Dali. Crislip Arcade is undergoing a rebirth as a hub for aspiring and accomplished artists. Other diversions include visiting an array of funky stores and restaurants, The Pier, the Museum of Fine Arts, American Stage and Tropicana Field for a Tampa Bay Rays' game. Housing choices range from historic bungalows to high-end waterfront condominiums to traditional subdivisions.

Just as nightfall brings relief from Florida's summer heat and humidity, Zen Glass Studio begins to heat up as artists inside go to work creating glass goblets, pendants and vases. The modest studio in the historic Roser Park neighborhood is one of the many small businesses that are helping to grow the arts community in St. Petersburg.
