The Northeast beat extends father north — and east — than any other Summer Fellowship beat. It’s bordered on the east by Tampa Bay, and it’s northernmost point, Snell Isle, is surrounded mostly by bayou. To the north, it’s adjacent to the Woodlawn neighborhood of St. Petersburg, and to the east, the East of 34th Street beat. It incorporates most of Downtown St. Pete, and its southernmost points reach all the way to the Southeast and Maggiore beats.
Northeast is home to the Kids & Kubs 75-and-older softball league, local and chaincoffeehouses, public parks with banyan trees and carnivals galore. Its shuffleboard club is the new hip thing and the alphabet is everywhere. Read some earlier stories about the beat here and here, but don’t forget to check back on Wednesday, June 13, for a new perspective and new stories from Northeast St. Pete.
