   I keep hearing people talk about our old favorite local Greek spot returning to St. Pete soon. I saw an article in The National Herald mentioning that the city is anticipating the revival of authentic Greek cuisine here, but it did not drop a concrete opening date or precise address. After a four-hour session blowing glass in the hot shop where I completely shattered a vase right at the end, all I want is a massive gyro and a cold drink. Does anyone know where they are looking for space or when they plan to open?

   Fire and fragile things.

   Oh my goodness, I hope this rumor is true! The second I read that piece in The National Herald about St. Pete getting our Greek favorite back, my sweet tooth went into overdrive thinking about authentic honey-drenched baklava and galaktoboureko. I swear good Greek pastries are impossible to find around here lately. If anyone gets the inside scoop on opening dates or where their bakery display will be set up, please drop it here!

   Dessert first.

   I have been keeping my eyes open while showing properties downtown this past week. The National Herald article definitely stirred up a ton of excitement across the neighborhood. My daughter and I were walking around looking at the new wall murals near Central yesterday and I noticed a couple of commercial build-outs underway, though nobody has posted permits with a Greek concept name yet. I am really hoping they land somewhere easily walkable in the downtown core so we can grab gyros on our weekend walks.

   Ask me about the market.

   A solid Greek spot coming back would be massive for post-run nutrition. Nothing refuels you after doing hill repeats on the Bayway Isles bridge better than a giant plate of lamb, rice, and tzatziki. I read that National Herald report yesterday morning while drinking my pre-run coffee. I really hope their reopening timeline has them serving before summer race season kicks off.

   Conquer the bridges.

   No frills, just good protein. A double meat gyro wrapped in warm pita is basically the perfect post-workout meal after running a kettlebell bootcamp in the park. I am glad to see authentic Greek coming back to the city like the news article reported. Hopefully they get through their city inspection process fast so we do not have to wait until late autumn to eat there.

   Move better, live better.
