I Love the Burg: 24-Hour Diner Opening Downtown
The Burg has become paradise for foodies and art lovers. The city is flush with events that activate the community and bring in visitors from all over the state and country. One thing the downtown area has been missing is a 24-hour restaurant to serve famished individuals after the events end.
Kahwa Coffee owner Raphael Perrier, Chef Jeremy Ducult (Cassis/Wooden Rooster), and Tryst owner Renaud Cowez look to fill that void with 2nd & Second, an all day, all night diner serving classic American cuisine. For those who crave bacon and eggs, a cup of coffee or some vintage diner appetizers late at night, this spot will soon become a staple. The diner will be located at the corner of 2nd Avenue North and 2nd Street in a 3,000 sq. ft. space across the from the Sundial with room for up to 150 diners.

The Washington, D.C., think tank sorted them into seven categories based on such competitive factors as their tradable economic clusters, innovation, talent and infrastructure connectivity.

The Weekly Challenger: One street, two cities, one goal
More than 200 residents and business owners from St. Petersburg and Gulfport gathered at the Tangerine Greenway on 49th Street South to celebrate the third annual Mayor's Cleanup.
"We represent two cities, but we have one goal," wrote St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman and Gulfport Mayor Sam Henderson in a letter to business owners along both sides of 49th Street South.
For the last three years, event organizer Margrette Tober has planned the community cleanup to foster collaboration between two cities that were once divided along ethnic lines.
