Each month, the City of St. Petersburg releases a newsletter called St. Pete Extra that shares updates on new programs, exciting upcoming events, important local news, and a wealth of insider secrets on the Sunshine City. Inside this monthly update, we always find great nuggets that we can use to making living in St. Pete better and more fun for ourselves, our neighbors, our families, and our friends.
With their permission, we are going to share some of each month’s highlights in this space, which are chock full of good info. For example: did you know you get a discount on ParkMobile parking just for being a resident? We’ll start there. Check out their website for the full list, and subscribe there to have it delivered to your inbox every month.
