The Italian gelato shop Paciugo opened Tuesday and is serving a variety of treats from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Owner Carl Riche serves coffee drinks, Italian and French pastries, biscotti and scones in the mornings before authentic Italian gelato takes over in the afternoons and evenings. Paciugo is at 300 Beach Drive at the foot of Parkshore Plaza. The store has free wireless Internet access.

Antiques dealers move to Central

Susan and Rui Farias have opened Central Avenue Antique Marketplace at 2541 Central Ave., the former Antique Exchange building. The store houses more than 15 antique dealers in 3,200 square feet. The couple had sold antiques from a space at the Corner Antique Mall, which was at Fourth Street N and 13th Avenue. When that building was sold this summer, they had to move.

Buying a home? Web site can help

Stephanie Christensen last month opened Yuvie.com, a Web site to help home buyers find open houses nationwide, schedule visits and find homes for sale. Real estate agents or people selling their own homes can use the service to list property. Sellers can upload photos, driving directions and property information to help shoppers find homes. Christensen, 25, is a St. Petersburg resident, graduate of the University of South Florida, Realtor and graduate of the Realtor Institute.
