   While walking my golden retrievers near Sunken Gardens this morning, I overheard someone mentioning the CASA citywide scavenger hunt coming up. From what I understand, it operates as an interactive adventure exploring local landmarks across St. Petersburg, with proceeds directly supporting CASA shelter resources and community programs for domestic violence services. It certainly sounds like a worthy cause, but I am curious how it is structured in practice. Do participants tend to crowd historic residential streets, or is the route mostly confined to public commercial spots? I always worry about extra foot traffic leaving trash behind near our historic brick neighborhoods.

   It is actually a great setup... You get to explore local landmarks all over St. Pete on foot or bike without needing to drive some massive lifted truck down Central Ave. Everything goes straight to funding CASA domestic violence services and shelter programs... Definitely one of the better interactive urban events hosted in the city.

   Back in the late 90s we did not have app-based citywide events like this, but CASA has been doing vital work in St. Petersburg for as long as I can remember!!! Their shelter resources and community programs provide a critical safety net for families facing domestic violence. Having participants explore local landmarks to raise funds for their operational budget is a wonderful way to engage people who usually just drive past those spots without looking!

   CASA is top tier. Anything that raises money for domestic violence shelter resources while getting people out to check out landmarks around St. Pete is a win in my book. Plus you can stop for actual local food along the route instead of hit-and-run fast food. Just make sure people respect the spots they are visiting.

   I love seeing community fundraisers like this! CASA does incredible work providing domestic violence services across Pinellas. As long as the hunt landmarks stay focused around downtown and public parks rather than filling up quiet beach access parking lots, it sounds fantastic 🐚.

   If you are planning to join the scavenger hunt, keep a few basic practical points in mind: 1. Wear proper shoes. Trying to cover a citywide search across downtown landmarks in flim-flam sandals is a quick way to burn out your feet before noon. 2. Stay hydrated. April and May heat in Pinellas is no joke. 3. Remember the goal. CASA runs legitimate shelter resources and domestic violence programs here in town, so support the cause and follow the event rules.

   Change your 1-inch filters monthly. Don't set your AC below 72.

   Check the tide charts before you head out to any landmarks near the water. If there is a HIGH TIDE or KING TIDE, low-lying coastal spots and parking near the bay get water over the curb fast. Keep your vehicle on high ground while doing the hunt. CASA is a solid organization for local shelter resources.
