Rainbow Flags Fly Down St. Pete’s Central AvenuesYou have to know that St. Pete Pride is around the corner. On 3 streets running from 20th Street on 1st Ave North, Central Ave. and 1st Ave. South to 31st Street there are rainbow flags on every lamppost.
The St. Petersburg City Council had an issue with the flags on their own without any writing or insignia on them, so the St. Pete Pride Committee added “St. Pete Pride” on all the 1,000+ flags. St. Pete Pride is the largest Gay Pride Festival in Florida. For more info, visit StPetePride.com.

Our Saturday Night
Several friends all called us and said that we must go to Baxter’s Lounge on South Dale Mabry to hear Ashley Scott perform. They were right, Ashley was fantastic! On to the 2606 to see what was new. The first floor was busy and their famous MetroTampa shots were everywhere. Upstairs at the 2606 Leather Club it was dark and sexy! Some friends asked us to go back to Ybor to G.BAR, our home away from home. YES, of course! The energy was bursting out. Where do all these incredibly sexy and friendly people come from? Stephen introduced us to several new guys visiting GaYBOR and the next thing we knew the music and dancing was taking over!
