St Petersburg, Florida - Today, I decided to go to St Pete (that's what the local call this city) because my colleagues and people I meet say you have to go there. First of all, I like to know where this city go its name. I asked a Uber driver that lives there and he had no idea....so I asked Google!
St Pete borrowed it's name from the original St Petersburg in Russia. St. Petersburg was founded in 1888 by John C. Williams, who purchased the land, and by Peter Demens (was a Russian immigrant), who brought the railroad industry into the area. As a part of a coin toss bet, the winner, Peter Demens, named the land after Saint Petersburg, Russia,
It took 30 mins by Uber to reach St Petes via the highway and once you reached the city beauty surrounds you with manicured parks, beautiful trees, piers, yachts, etc...since it is a city you have the high rise condos along the waterfront.
My original intention to come so early and participate in the St Petes Saturday morning market but did not realise that it was closed during summer. My colleagues and strangers are not aware that it was closed except an old man selling drinks beside the park whom I asked.
Plan B was to go to Dali Museum about a 10 minutes from where I was..
