“The Civil Rights Movement in Tampa Bay may have had characteristics similar to other areas of the South but its stories are its own. This exhibition will illuminate our region’s struggle with racial equality and shine a light on the local leaders who changed our cities.” The FHM

Estelia Mesimer – RE/MAX Metro – St. Petersburg, FL

Estelia enjoys the thriving arts and cultural scene of St. Petersburg. And, she says, “it’s getting even better” with several new additions – the Museum of American Arts and Crafts Movement, opening in 2019, and the James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art and the Imagine Museum, which opened in April 2018. They are located in and near downtown and will further broaden the city’s cultural experience.

Over the past six years, Downtown St. Petersburg has experienced an unprecedented revival which has brought in a wide variety of restaurants, craft beer makers and some truly amazing townhomes and condominiums – all contained within one square mile!
