- City Council approves 4th Street Chick-fil-A expansion
Honestly, a 7-1 vote to tear down housing for a bigger drive-thru queue is completely ridiculous. We keep talking about making St. Pete more walkable, but then the city turns around and approves a massive parking expansion on 4th Street N. That attorney representing Chick-fil-A actually stood up there and said those seven apartments were not a housing solution and that there were no adverse impacts (IMO saying seven families getting displaced is no big deal is just wildly out of touch). Adding more pavement and car idling lanes right next to neighborhood streets is the exact opposite of good city planning.

- Is mosquito control working better in your neighborhood lately?
Thanks Auntie Rosa (and valid points on the gutters, honestly). I was just genuinely surprised because living right on the creek bank in Pasadena Bear Creek usually means getting swarmed within five minutes of sitting down outside. The county truck must have hit our street right at the peak hatch window earlier this week.

- Is mosquito control working better in your neighborhood lately?
Was hanging out on my front patio this evening over in Pasadena Bear Creek right on the creek (where the bugs are usually absolutely brutal this time of year) and honestly I did not get bitten by a single mosquito. Mosquito spraying around here is apparently working as intended for once, which IMO is a nice surprise. Have y'all in other neighborhoods around St. Pete noticed a difference lately or are you still getting eaten alive?
