Letters to the EditorsWilliams Park downtown is not a pretty sight© St. Petersburg Times published February 3, 2002 St. Petersburg should do something about Williams Park. It is disgusting. I drive to work every morning and have to pass that mess. There are bums sleeping everywhere, on the benches, under the benches and on the grass, with litter all over the place. It sure doesn't say anything nice about St. Petersburg. It is not a pretty sight for the locals, much less the tourists. Wake up, Mayor Baker, and do something.
Mayor Baker's history book earns praise I recently discovered Mayor Rick Baker's book, which is a definitive history of St. Petersburg. It is precisely and wonderfully accomplished with scores of photographs -- the Skyway ship accident, Tropicana Field, the Don CeSar Hotel, the Vinoy, Demens Landing, the Mahaffey Theater. There are all the mayors, the councilmen and women, business leaders, sports fans. The text is well done and it is a volume to be proud of, as I'm sure Mayor Baker is!
Another hospital bill was not creditedRe: Hospital bill was paid but not credited, letter, Jan. 30. I must say that the letter writer is not alone because I, too, have gone through the same thing. This recent bill from the collection agency was the second time, for two different bills within one year, that I received, and I had mailed a copy of my canceled check along with a letter to the collection agency asking for a reply. To date, I have not gotten a reply from the collection agency or from Palms of Pasadena Hospital.
Bicyclists on Pinellas Trail should yield How come on the Pinellas Trail there are four-way stop signs, but the bikers never stop? Why don't the police enforce the law before somebody gets injured? If somebody does get hurt, he or she will probably blame the motorist.
