It's all about preservation and the Rays' stadium proposal in this week's Creative Loafing.
Be sure to check out the cover story on the nine most endangered historical buildings in St. Pete. Even if you already read the print edition, there's some new information about the fate of the First Baptist Church and the older homes along Fourth Avenue North.
(David Warner has a related short piece on a book of postcards showing buildings of St. Pete's past.)
Also, Wayne Garcia and I tackle the latest news on the Rays' stadium proposal.
And blending the two topics together, St. Petersburg Preservation Inc. released a statement yesterday on the historical significance of not building a stadium on the waterfront. Download that letter below.
