About $2 billion has been invested in downtown redevelopment since the late 1990s, establishing
St. Petersburg as among Florida's coolest cities to live, work and play.
The Dali Museum,
Crislip Arcade,
USFSP and the
Morean Arts Center have helped sparked the city's rebirth as a hub for marine science, academics and the arts. Other diversions include visiting an array of funky stores and restaurants, the
Museum of Fine Arts,
American Stage, the
Palladium Theater and Tropicana Field for a
Tampa Bay Rays' game. Housing choices range from historic bungalows to high-end waterfront condominiums to college dorms.
