About I Love the Burg

Since I Love the Burg launched in May of 2009, it has been our mission to make St. Petersburg (a.k.a. the #BURG) the best place to live, work and play. Our site provides a comprehensive resource for discovering the Sunshine City’s opportunities and events.

Maintaining a high rate of engagement across several social media platforms and through daily and weekly email subscribers makes I Love the Burg the largest and longest-running independently owned and operated hyper-local media source in St. Petersburg, Florida.

I Love the Burg is a federally registered trademark. The downtown St. Petersburg creative agency, //rkc.me/ maintains this website and provides the creative resources needed to keep it up and running on a day-to-day basis.
