BayWalk is / was a project in downtown St. Pete that opened in 2000. It's design added a nice flavor to downtown. Like many places, it fell on hard times and was recently sold.
I took this picture when I visited St. Pete in July 2007 when I was checking out this area to see if I really wanted to move here.
It had many shops and eating places and a 20 theater Muvico with an IMAX screen too.
[Note: The Ovation condo has not yet been built and is missing from the left center background. See fourth photo down. ]
I took this pictures with my cell phone as I was walking by this afternoon.
These next two photos were taken the following day. (May 4)
Yes. This is what the new owners are turning it into. A page out of the Jetsons. It sure doesn't take any local flavor into account. Would probably look good in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom.
Don't cry for me, St. Petersburg.
