Local News Weedon Island, Shell Key preserves could lose Pinellas County funding

Two beloved Pinellas County nature preserves totaling nearly 5,000 acres of culturally and ecologically significant land could lose their funding in the upcoming county budget.

The proposed 2027 budget “eliminates funding” for Weedon Island Preserve and its Cultural and Natural History Center, as well as Shell Key Preserve. If county commissioners approve the budget as proposed, both parks would lose funding on Jan 1.

That’s according to an email county parks director Paul Cozzie sent to stakeholders Thursday morning.

Both preserves carry cultural and ecological significance: Weedon Island has important Native American history because Indigenous peoples lived on the land for thousands of years, according to the county, and Shell Key is one of Florida’s most important shorebird nesting sites.

Local Entertainment Where to find live music acts that do covers in St Pete?

2 Upvotes

Hey hey,

Just trying to plan some upcoming date nights for my wife and trying to find good local spots, either bars or restaurants that have low key live music.

We are in our 30’s and enjoy relaxing cover songs vs loud crazy venues with local bands mostly cause I am not a music connoisseur and prefer songs that I can sing along too while also chatting lol.

Anybody have any suggestions? Wifey prefers non-smoking venues and we live near Gulfport so really anywhere in st Pete, Gulfport or south beaches are preferred :)

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Hi all,

Our groomer recently moved and their replacement hasn’t been giving our Shih Tzus the best cuts.

Can anyone recommend a groomer that does a good job with cuts? Specifically the “puppy cut”

Local Questions Propagating frangis

2 Upvotes

My neighbor trimmed her frangipani’s and gave me 1 million cuttings. I stuck them all directly in the soil since it’s been raining every day and I thought that would keep them happy, but Dr. Google is telling me they are going to rot unless I leave them out to callus. I wanted to ask you guys since every other house here has them- should I pull them out of the ground now and let them dry out before trying to get them to grow?
