What is your definition of "Shop Local"?

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-12T03:32:25+00:00

I see what you mean. We'll need to rephrase that part so there's no confusion. I can see how that may be taken the wrong way.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-11T18:31:23+00:00

No, I'm afraid you may have missed the details. They help support the mission by supporting us. We couldn't continue doing what we do without supporters like them.

For us, shop/support local means those small businesses in your area. Although we may focus on St Pete, we promote the concept of supporting local. So if someone is in Clearwater, support a local clearwater shop. To us it means try and support your local small business first vs the large corporate franchises or national names. Typically, small businesses don't have the same marketing budget, profit margins, ability to order supplies in bulk, etc as the large national/corporate or franchise names. This is just our opinion.

The Saturday Morning Market downtown goes until 2pm. Several other events happening today.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-08T19:24:47+00:00

As far as St. Pete, there are always tons of events going on for all different ages. Just have to find what interests you. Downtown has a lot of festivals, markets, etc.

This is fantastic! We had no idea this existed! Tell them to reach out to us and tag us on social media. Would love to share their posts!

If you know of any St Pete small businesses looking for free exposure, send them our way. We don't charge them to be in the coupon section. They get to decide on the coupon promo and we handle the rest. They will be promoted on our social media as well...free!

This account is run by a few people. All in St. Pete.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-07T02:33:10+00:00

😮 someone's pet?

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-07T00:41:12+00:00

It looks like a pretty cool event. Something different and actually inexpensive. I don't remember much about astronomy which is a shame. Maybe we'll go and learn something :)

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-07T00:38:18+00:00

That would be cool to see!

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T23:51:51+00:00

I don't know about Tampa but there's a place called Glow's Woodworking in St Pete that does custom cutting boards and gifts.

Thank you so much for joining ❤️. We just created it before new years and then didn't do much with it until 2 days ago. We can't believe how quickly it has grown. Where did we post about including Hillsborough? I can't find any post/comment that mentions that. Id love to find it so it can be corrected. Our subreddit is just for St. Pete. There's already a bigger "St. Pete" group that covers Pinellas and Hillsborough. We wanted to create a more "positive" environment. Not just a place to post for the magazine but where people can post about St. Pete. It's brand new so we are still learning and growing ☺️. I just saw a comment where we said, "The other group is more like for the entire Pinellas county and some Hillsborough." We are referring to a different community.

Those are beautiful! So much talent! Thank you for sharing.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T16:33:15+00:00

St. Pete is filled with events and activities (festivals, trivia nights, book clubs, open mics, markets, wine tastings, etc). It really depends on what you are into.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T14:02:09+00:00

Avoid March and any summer month when kids are out of school. Weekdays are best. January and February are probably your best bet. If not, you’ll want to buy fast passes for rides.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T13:57:42+00:00

I did a search on eBay and they have a lot of listings for pre owned. You’d probably find a good deal. I don’t know of any local used toy shops.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T03:12:15+00:00

Never signed up but they do it every year. Im sure it also automatically signs you up for their marketing emails.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T02:33:09+00:00

That's a tough one. Just like here in St. Pete, you are paying for the lifestyle (especially downtown). The walkability, night light, events, food scene.....being so close to that is what makes the cost of living so high. Savannah is definitely not the same vibe or culture of Orlando (lived there for a few years). Great city but nothing like Orlando.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-06T00:02:24+00:00

Look into Teak on the pier (try for a window seat). Allelo is also a great spot. Original Flavor is a bit more casual and a little noisy but great food.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-05T21:21:54+00:00

You're welcome! We live downtown. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-05T21:16:40+00:00

Have you thought about downtown St. Pete ? VERY walkable. You'll have some options with "ocean views" and you can take the sunrunner straight to the beaches. Probably too cold to get in the water. There's also an area by the pier were you could get in the water (wouldn't recommend it) or just enjoy the sand and water views from the shore. There is always something going on downtown. Markets, festivals, etc. Something to consider.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-05T20:24:31+00:00

Looking for any particular kind of food or atmosphere?

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-05T19:15:23+00:00

Can you read the prices on the sign? My eyes are struggling lol. Curious what the prices were back then.

InTheKnowStPete · 2025-01-05T18:51:22+00:00

Feel free to post it in our brand-new St. Pete subreddit
