Another hotel set to open on Rocky Point....calling themselves a "luxury boutique hotel". Isn't that sweet? Is there 1" of undeveloped dirt left out there? Sad to see what's happened in that area, sometimes I wish I had not been here to experience the great trout fishing we had there when 10-12" Turtle grass covered the entire area....a haven for fish and blue crabs...crabs so plentiful we got washtubs full and stayed up all night cleaning them drinking cheap beer.

Sad to see, I've lived in the area since 1980.Spent a bit of time and money at the tanga. it was joes starter club. My sons learned to fish on the flats and loved going crabbing.

Never had the nerve to visit the Tanga....always had cops there...bad rap.........St. Pete officials have overwhelmingly adopted the language of the "Green New Deal" aiming to be the first Florida city to be a zero carbon emissions-producing city within 10 yrs......hahahahaha
