Before you begin reading why I Love The Burg is the best blog and Facebook page in this city play the song below. We don't write without a little Survivor and suitable amount of montage dead lifts. Now let your education begin.

For 5 years we've ate, drank and breathed all things St. Pete

And if you don't believe us, we made sure to get it in writing

We started the #instaBURG movement and on this day it's 36,644 photos strong.

We're out in the Burg day and night. We shop, local, we eat local, we wear local.

We're on top of all the trends sweeping the city.

We get Rowdy with Ralph's Mob and dance with DJ Kitty

If there's something new about to open, you better believe iLovetheBurg is there getting you the full scoop:

Top This Pie enters the St. Pete Scene

Casita Taqueria grand opening

Whether it's a Chicken Church

A blood moon

A HUGE trade

A Grand Prix

Or another unique crawl down Central.

We've seen one of the biggest local festivals in the country come to fruition. Thank Keep St. Pete local for the best thing to happen in the Bay this year.

We've brought the Burg all over the World from DC to San Juan to Sydney to Singapore.

We brought the BurgALympics to 3 Daughters and watched businesses such as C1, FOODNOW, tbt* and The Amsterdam throw down for a day celebrating the Sunshine City.

While we are here to keep you informed, we're also around to show you how to trully enjoy this city with all the gems and Easter Eggs it offers.

But if none of this has convinced you that iLovetheBurg is the best Page in the Bay just know Burg is The Word because….

Chuckles. Says. So.
