Employees are people, and the reasons why people love to work and play in St. Petersburg are as varied as the available resources. Besides 35 miles of pristine beaches (with 360 days of sunshine), 345 miles of coastline, 102 municipal parks, 37 miles of dedicated urban trails and St. Petersburg's municipal marina (the state's largest) and bayfront recreational facilities, there are other things to do as well. With these resources, its no wonder Pinellas County was ranked number one in amenities by the University of Florida Bureau of Business and Economic Research.

Broadway, ballet, jazz, opera, classical and popular music are alive and well at St. Petersburg's Bayfront Center, at Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall and in the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, home of the Florida Orchestra. Museums and galleries abound, including the Florida International Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Salvador Dali Museum, Great Explorations-The Hands On Museum, the St. Petersburg Museum of History, the Florida Holocaust Museum, and the Science Center of Pinellas County, Inc.

Festivals celebrating cultural diversity, music and food are almost nonstop. For seafood and Hollywood fans, restaurants and theaters abound, including the exciting $23 million restaurant/retail/tertainment BayWalk development in downtown St. Petersburg.

Sports enthusiasts and hot dog lovers alike will take heart while attending major league baseball at Tropicana Field (St. Petersburg's domed stadium), home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, or NFL football at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
