THE WEE KE ND E R travel guide created by locals, for locals, and for those who want to support local
VOLUME 1, AUG 2016
A quarterly publication dedicated to illustrating and celebrating unique perspectives of the people and culture of St. Petersburg, Florida
EDITOR
Amelia Bartlett Creating the publication you hold in your hands today began when someone referered to the residents of St. Petersburg, as ‘Burgers. It didn’t sit well. There’s something far more essential, artistic, individualistic about the culture and people of this city than to be named after a bar food. Nowhere else could I imagine meeting more than twenty strangers on the internet, willing to contribute to a pipe dream. The folks who walked over from their cafe table to ask about the project, those who offered ideas and gave support; those are St Petians. St Petians are generous, open-minded, progressive, and ingenuitive. They’re kind with spunk, well-humored with a kick, and often there to help before you even ask. Having been born in this city, I thought I knew it well, but until creating this publication, I really had no idea. Anthropologically speaking, St Petian is an ethnography: a description of the culture and customs of a group of people. Each edition is meant to illustrate a single sector of that culture. Ethnologically, it’s occured to me that one needn’t be a resident of St Pete or even have lived here at one time. This travel guide was created to give everyone the opportunity to be a St Petian. To be a St Petian, one must become enculturated: to participate in and appreciate the customs of our people. It is my hope that this guide gets you started on your journey to enculturation. This printed edition of Volume 1, The Weekender, is specially released for the Zine-O-Rama art show at Black Crow Coffee Co on August 6, 2016. The Fall 2016 offical release Will be available in September, 2016. This magazine was meant to be an art project - it has evolved into a masterwork, dedicated to my roots here in St. Petersburg, Florida. This publicationed is dedicated to those who have inspired me, who work tirelessly to preserve and strengthen the local St Pete culture, and to all the St Petians who find joy in exploring and contributing to this city.

Station House, 2nd Floor 260 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL
Station House has a unique, rustic-chic expansive interior with free wifi and plenty of collaboration capacity. Bonus: They serve a variety of tea, coffee, and little snacks and have a restaurant attached to the place. In theory, you could stay all day.
Kahwa Coffee South
204 2nd Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL While there are two Kahwa locations in St. Pete, it’s generally accepted that Kahwa S is the place to see and be seen. This one is more homey, with eccentric floor tiles and rotating art on display. Entrepreneurs, city planners and activists, business-folk, and pretty much everyone else passes through this shop to grab a beverage from the largest local coffee roaster and distributor in the county. Bring your business cards!
@leogomezstudio
St Petian tip: if you haven’t already noticed, folks in St. Pete are beyond helpful and kind 99% of the time. Speak up and make new friends when you’re at cafes. It’s quite possible you meet your new best friend, lover, business partner, or muse over a cup of coffee.

Mural map created by:@shineonstpete
In the last three years, murals have covered the city of St. Pete. While there are still plent of empty walls for artists to convert, there are many spots throughout the city where the color and creativity are abundant. The mural trek takes you from the 600 Block (at Central Avenue), all the way up to 23rd Street. While there are murals outside this jaunt, the map above guides you to the ‘hot zones’ where you get the most street art for the distance you travel. Be sure to look closely, avoid the dumpsters, and @ tag the featured artists as you post your selfies on Instagram.
Hashtag the aformentioned selfies with #StPetian to get on our radar.

A small, intimate listening room. The audience and the artist are very connected. It’s an vulnerable space. This isn’t a place to come to drink and talk, it’s a place to experience great songwriting.
Check the event calendar online, and you may find a show you never knew you wanted to see. It feels like you’re in a different world, a capsule.
Warehouse with a loft that people actually live in. Attached to Bloom Art Center, this eclectic music venue / artist collaboration space harnesses a different energy than most places in town.
Those who frequent here are often discerning listeners, coming for the high-caliber lyricism from the variety of artists that pass through.
It’s surrounded by bars and establishments on Central Ave & 1st St N. There’s a huge tree in the center, and with a whole crowd gathered around it, you can’t help but feel like you’re at an intimate show.
It has an authentic underground party vibe. The best kept secret just outside of downtown where folks come to collaborate as much as they do to consume great music.
