Elmira's Wildlife Sanctuary


Quoted from Elmira's: "Over the past 10 years, the problem of exotic pets in un-exotic places has exploded. Lions and tigers are regularly found in apartments, houses and other residences where the owner has illegally purchased one of these beautiful animals. When the animal gets too big, or officials discover the animal, there is often nowhere to place it. Existing facilities are full and there is still not enough ...

Like Lizards?


This morning in my laundry room, I found evidence that my home has had a scaly and legless visitor sometime in the recent past.

I looked around online to find out who to call to find out what sort of snake it was, and found The Suncoast Herpetological Society.

As it happens, they meet on the third Wednesday of every month at The Moccasin Lake Nature Park in ...

Noooooooo!!!!


This Tampa Bay blogger is seriously bummed.

It's bad enough that Clearwater institution The Junction closed this past Tuesday. Or, that my downtown indie coffee house Constant Cravings is closing at the end of April.

I've just learned that The Majestic, one of my favorite local music venues, quietly closed their doors for good last week.

Downtown Clearwater has lost two music venues and two indie coffee houses (The Junction was both) in ...

Classic Florida Food


Molly GoodheadDriving down Alt-19 in Palm, Harbor, you can't miss the sign: a topless mermaid flaunting strategically placed locks of long blonde hair, framed with the cutely suggestive name.

Once you turn, though, you almost wonder if you've gone the right way: the street turns immediately residential. A couple blocks in, however, it opens up to a little collection of restaurants and shops, including a gallery and ...

Authentic Italian in Downtown Clearwater


Despite the name, anyone who stops in to Tony's Pizzeria just for the pizza is shortchanging themselves. The restaurant's repertoire includes a full range of Italian specialties including fried calamari, pasta with vodka sauce and many others. Their sauces are all made on-site from fiercely guarded recipes, although inside sources tell me that the red sauce includes a variety of hand ground vegetables and takes over a day to ...
