SEMINOLE, Fla. — Pinellas County is planning to spend almost $16 million to improve a stretch of 102nd Avenue in Seminole. The project will focus on the road between 113th Street N. and 125th Street. Neighbors had mixed opinions on the county's plans. "It's been an ongoing problem for years, and now all of a sudden, they decided they are going to do something about it," said Art Jones, who has lived along 102nd Avenue in Seminole for 32 years.

PINELLAS CO., Fla. — This Pride month, one local advocate is working to educate people about LGBTQ+ rights. "If justice is what love looks like in public, Nadine Smith is what love looks like in motion," said Rev. Andy Oliver with the Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Pete. With years of work, Nadine Smith is a force to be reckoned with. "People don't realize the talent and the gift that we have in this community, the resources that she has, the global connections that she has," said Rev.
