Many have proved that you can still brighten your neighborhood from the comfort of your block. The sidewalks in St. Petersburg’s historic neighborhoods have served as a new canvas for expressions of love, togetherness, compassion.

My walks in the Old Northeast Neighborhood have grown exceedingly brighter courtesy of the art from kids and adults alike.
We encourage everyone to chalk the ‘Burg with messages of love and appreciation for one another. Also, all the love in the world for those drawing dance break circles, and hop scotch courses on the sidewalk. They are making my walks far more interesting.

My pup has also appreciated the gorgeous fruit-inspired art in the Old Northeast.

Be Kind. Be Brave. Be Well. Stay Safe. Words to live by, and they look especially marvelous on the iconic hexagonal sidewalks of the Old Northeast.
