St. Petersburg Free Clinic, Going Strong After 50 Years

By the first week of April, 700 families and individuals a day had become the new normal. “[On Good Friday,] we had a line of cars three blocks long the better part of the day,” said Yeagley.… Read More

Managing a Museum While Parenting: Laura and Hank Hine Share Their COVID-19 Perspective

by Jon Kile No Comments

One of the things that defines St. Petersburg is its museums.

Building the City: Hennessy Construction Centennial

by Will Michaels No Comments

It is said that a city’s history is written on its buildings. Perhaps no other construction company has done as much to write that history in St. Petersburg as Hennessy Construction. This year Hennessy is celebrating its centennial. The company has continuously operated in St. Petersburg since 1920. Over that time, it has built some of St. Petersburg’s most significant buildings, including St. Mary’s Church, the Fine Arts Museum, St. Anthony’s Hospital, and the Tampa Bay Times Press Building.
