This Valentine's Day, we share our love for the history of St. Pete with local historian and I Love The Burg tour guide, Monica Kile. The murky history of house ages pre-1925. The first population boom 100 years ago. The troubled history of displaced minority neighborhoods. Setting the record straight on the founding of the city. Little Detroit? Following the train tracks. The laundry district. The much sought-after St Pete hex block. Playing volleyball in the Vinoy Hotel ballroom. Max’s childhood fascination with the Soreno Hotel. The difficulties of preserving historic buildings. An ebay bidding war. The 200 block. Little Lang Court. White pelicans.
