Bayfront Tower Valet Parking
January 29th, 2012 Categories: Bayfront Tower
Valet parking at Bayfront Tower is one of its unique amenities. In fact, Bayfront Tower is the only downtown St Petersburg condo that offers valet parking. It’s included in the maintenance fee, not an extra. If you want to park your own car, that’s ok, too.
It’s nice to come back from grocery shopping and have someone to help get the groceries out of your car and put them in a shopping cart to take up to your condominium home. It’s nice to drive home and have a familiar, welcoming face greet you at your car, open your door and see that you get safely inside.
It’s nice to call downstairs and have your car waiting for you when you get out of the elevator. On a very hot day, it’s nice to have the air conditioning already on in your car.

Walkability and Walk Score
January 11th, 2012 Categories: Bayfront Tower, Lifestyle, Old Northeast, Parkshore Plaza, Venetian Isles
Many buyers today want to be able to walk to restaurants, shopping, museums, entertainment. They want to be able to go out in the evening and not have to drive home.
Are you aware of the iPhone app WALK SCORE? Bayfront Tower, for example, scores an 82. Parkshore Plaza scores an 83. Both are “very walkable”. A house on 16th Ave NE may have a score of 34 and one on Venetian Isles a score of 12.
You can also sort for specifics for an address (or have the app use your location) and the app will show you grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, schools, hardware stores, etc. So - it’s useful for when you’re traveling as well as when you’re shopping for a home or condo.

New Year’s Day in downtown St Petersburg
January 1st, 2012 Categories: Bayfront Tower, Downtown St Petersburg
Sunrise over the Vinoy Basin in downtown St Petersburg Florida
New Year’s Day in downtown St Petersburg was a wonderful start to 2012. Sunrise over Vinoy Basin is ever changing, ever delightful. By late morning outside tables were filling along Beach Drive as brunch was offered at 400 Beach, Parkshore Grill, Tryst and others. People were strolling, dogs were walked, benches were occupied as people gazed out at Tampa Bay, watching the boats leave their docks and moorings for a day on the water. Temperatures were pleasant in the mid 70s.
We joined friends at Bayfront Tower condo for a lucky New Year’s meal that included collard greens, black eyed peas and rice, cheese grits with sausage, and so much more. Good weather, good friends, good food, good conversation – that’s a wonderful way to start a New Year.
Downtown St Pete is a wonderful place to live or to visit.

Governor proposes at Bayfront Tower
July 4th, 2008 Categories: Bayfront Tower
Florida governor Charlie Crist maintains his residence at Bayfront Tower condominium in downtown St Petersburg. Yesterday he made news by formally proposing to his girlfriend, Carole Rome – and where did he propose? At Bayfront Tower! It’s likely that the wedding (no date announced yet) will be at the First United Methodist Church here in St. Petersburg. Crist, a prospect for vice president for McCain, had this to say: “I’m very, very happy. I love her.” Rome is likely to change the frugal governor – it remains to be seen if they move to a larger condo at Bayfront Tower or buy a larger waterfront home. Governor Charlie Crist is very visible in St. Petersburg, and very approachable.
