St. Petersburg
(often referred to by locals as St. Pete) is
a city in Pinellas County, Florida. The city
is known as a vacation destination for North
American and European vacationers, as well
as a politically important battleground in
U.S. Presidential politics and the home of
the highly regarded St. Petersburg Times. As
of the 2000 census, the city population was
248,232. As of 2004, the population recorded
by the U.S. Census Bureau is 249,090, making
it the fourth largest city in the state of
Florida. St. Petersburg is the second
largest city in the Tampa-St.
Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area,
which is composed of roughly 2.6 million
residents, making it the second largest
Metropolitan Statistical Area in the state
behind Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm
Beach, and the third largest in the
southeast.
The city is located on a peninsula between
Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It is
connected to the mainland to the north,
connected with the city of Tampa, Florida to
the east by causeways and bridges across
Tampa Bay, and to Bradenton, Florida in the
south by the Sunshine Skyway Bridge
(Interstate 275), which traverses the mouth
of the bay. It is also served by Interstates
175 and 375, which branch off of 275 into
the southern and northern areas of downtown
respectively.
With a purported average of some 360 days of
sunshine each year, it is nicknamed "The
Sunshine City." For that reason, the city is
a popular tourist, and retirement
destination, especially for those in the
United States from colder Northern climates
particularly New York, Detroit, and Chicago.
