Bayway Delays, Theater Woes and Commission Drama: 5 Things to Know

1.) No Way on the Bayway: Plan to avoid the eastbound travel lanes on the Pinellas Bayway bascule bridge on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The contractor working on the bridge will be receiving and placing aconcrete delivery, weather permitting.

2.) Beached Theater?: In case you haven't heard, Beach Theatre owner Mike France is trying to turn the historic, 70-year-old theater into a non-profit in order to keep the place open and in the hands of the community. He has created a web site, savethebeachtheatre.org, where anyone interested can participate. Want to volunteer for a community cause? Here's your chance.

3.) Commission Meets: Now for some live theater: The St. Pete Beach City Commission meets tonight at 6. The commission has some pretty hefty issues to deal with, including storm damage costs, a budget gap and some growing unrest with the Mayor. Looking for drama? No admission charge either.

4.) Film With Flavor: The St. Pete Beach Library will show the film "Chocolat" at 10:30 a.m. to its book discussion group. Anyone is welcome to attend. The library is located at 365 73rd Ave.

5.) Keep Off the Grass: Horan Park and the adjacent playground will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday while the turf is chemically treated. No foot traffic will be allowed.
