May is National Historic Preservation Month, and while Tampa\u2019s taken way more Ls<\/a> than St. Petersburg, there\u2019s not a municipality out there that doesn\u2019t have to fight to protect the buildings and spaces that tell its history.<\/p>\n

To bring like-minded folks together. Preserve the \u2018Burg hosts a no-cover expo for anyone interested in restoration, preservation, design, construction and history. Pros with expertise in older homes and advocacy will be on hand along with Emily Elwyn who\u2019ll lead two guided tours of the Mirror Lake neighborhood.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no cover\u2014but registration and donations are requested\u2014for Preserve the \u2018Burg\u2019s Restoration & Design Expo happening Saturday, May 16 at St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club.<\/a><\/p>\n
