Xpress, the Coolest Section of the St. Petersburg Times, is the home for features, news and views of interest to young readers. Most of the work in Xpress, which appears on Mondays in Floridian, is produced by the Times' X-Team. The team of journalists ages 9-17 from around the Tampa Bay area is selected every year at the end of the school year to serve during the following school term. The current team of 12 was chosen out of 150 applicants. Watch for X-Team application forms in Xpress during the month of May.

From the top of the tallest tree to the bottom of the Long Center's pool, young writers, artists and photographers regaled us with their descriptions of their favorite places. Our pages couldn't hold them all, though, so more Favorite Places will be published in Xpressions later. Thanks to St. Paul's School in Clearwater for this theme idea. And if you would like to see your good work published here, please see the directions below.
