Last summer, St. Pete celebrated the opening of a long-awaited Pete\u2019s Bagels drive-thru<\/a>\u2014and this weekend, it celebrates a 100th anniversary at the same address. Pete\u2019s location at 2439 4th St. S is located at a building that was one of St. Petersburg\u2019s first gas station.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026this special building has been part of the community for 100 years, and is now a registered landmark,\u201d Pete\u2019s wrote about the old Standard Oil service station, which stayed in business for the Harbordale neighborhood from 1926-1962. At the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation\u2019s conference last May, the project got kudos, and this weekend Preserve the \u2018Burg Executive Director Manny Leto will give a presentation on the building.<\/p>\n

Family-friendly activities are on the agenda for the four-hour party along with a mini-market, specials and more.<\/p>\n
