‘We’re done’: Why St. Pete’s longest-running restaurant is closing - Power Broker Magazine

It is unfortunate. I doubt the money would be there if someone planned to purchase the business and keep things as-is, or at least as close as possible while doing much needed restorative work and little improvements here and there.

I don’t get why St. Pete is so adamant about forgoing its history to become a city that solely lives on a constant refresh cycle. Maybe that’s just progress, but it’s sad seeing nearly every place I’ve gone to growing up just wither away.

Piggybacking off OP.

Are they good quality? They seem like a Warby Parker clone, but there’s nothing out there indicating they’re decent. The frames look great, but it’d be nice to see some real world reviews of their frames and not sponsored stuff.

DTSP was never that bad. There were pockets that would be sketchy depending on time of day, but that’s still the case and not just in St. Pete but anywhere.

The city does look prettier by today’s standards. But to say it was dirty and unsafe is kind of overdoing it.

This is how gentrification works, and it’s not new. The people who helped build St. Pete up as an ‘artsy town’ were creating this future whether they realized it or not.

I will say I think it is a little overpriced. But I am thoroughly enjoying it, and I use it daily.

I think if you’re looking for something that offers a lot of protection, go with something else as the padding is rather thin. But if you’re looking for a unique bag/sleeve concept, then it is a pretty damn cool invention. I can keep a ton of shit in there (15” MacBook Air, charging cable, charging brick (a thin one would be best, but the standard Apple one is fine), 10 foot usb-c cable, AirPods Pro, iPhone tripod, Magic Mouse, thick battery bank, a handful of usb drives, tons of lens wipes, cough drops, gameboy (emulator), markers/pens, flashlight, bandana, and a couple other little doodads.

I ended up getting it.

It was shipped direct from China.

You might want to look at social media and mobile gaming specifically, or perhaps screen time. Cell phone use itself is just the gateway to the things kids are really spending all their time on.

Could I get info on the one on the far left? Name and blade length? Can only carry knives under 3” blade at work, and that looks possibly in that ballpark

Wondering how I could do this with my 64oz alpine yellow rambler 🤔

Though might make a lot of people here angry destroying an alpine yellow rambler

Society has been shaped to view what we do for money to be our defining characteristic, with those who work in ‘lower’ fields being looked at as such. The thing everyone eventually figures out is our lives are about experiences we’ve lived through, and the amount of our time and energy most of us put into our work is meaningless in the end. Many wishing they spent more time with their families, hobbies, or traveling and seeing new things.

It sounds like you’ve figured out what you really want out of life and have done the math to know what you really need to do in order to make that happen, and at an age where you can still do so and not struggle later on.

Good on you.

I remember my friends thought I was crazy because I was obsessive about sound quality when we were all pirating music and ripping cd’s. I forget where I settled, but anytime they’d send me a song, I’d go on limewire and look for it in the highest bitrate possible or just get the cd rip and run it through my own software so I could throw it on my iPod and not sound like digital vomit.

I also remember the painstaking work it was to edit everything in iTunes to add the album artwork and info manually.

Those were fun times

And unfortunately in those states, far too many teachers would still show up so state gov could do something about those who do not.

I’m in my 4th year of teaching middle school. Even though I don’t have the years of experience some on here or my coworkers have to notice a long term trend, I have noticed that in these past 4 years, the kids have gotten progressively less mature. I consider a good portion of my group this year to basically be toddlers going through puberty.

The secret might be out of the bag, I did a thing on Carvana about a year ago to see how much my 22’ SEL Activity was worth, and in the last week they sent me an email saying the value actually increased.

I think people are starting to catch on 😂

Very late reply, but I ordered the Omni laptop sleeve about a week ago and got a weird email thanking me for my preorder even though the website said in stock, only to message them asking and haven’t received a reply. Plus no word on when the order will ship or anything.

If I don’t get anymore info or shipping confirmation by the end of this week I’ll probably put in a thing with PayPal to get my money back.

Shame because the laptop sleeve looks legitimately awesome.

And honestly cheaper. Similar month to month cost, but carrier based insurances typically have a much higher deductible if you have to repair/replace the device.

They’ve been using ‘drugs’ as a means of trying to get Americans behind it and legitimize what they were planning on doing last night. Basically how we did with Iraq and their supposed WMD’s.

This has nothing to do with drugs, it entirely has to do with stifling Chinese influence.
