The story behind St. Pete's Skyline Building, now a SHINE mural canvas

St. Petersburg 's Skyline Building has lived many lives since it opened in 1961. Why it matters: This week, it's a giant canvas for artists participating in the 12th-annual SHINE Mural Festival . The big picture: By this weekend, four new murals will cover the cylindrical office building and surrounding walls on Dr. Martin Luther King Street North, said Helen French, executive director of the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, which organizes the festival. Alyssa Marie with the Happy Mural Project worked with more than 500 locals to paint a floral-themed piece on the north wall of the property. The back and side walls of the building feature a moody black-and-white piece by REIVER , a self-taught artist from the United Kingdom, and a burst of color by Virginia artist Jon Murrill . And North Carolina-based artist Osiris Rain is painting the seven-story cylinder that, rumor has it, was inspired by the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, according to St. Petersburg Museum of History executive director Rui Farias. Community members work on the Happy Mural Project mural on St. Pete's Skyline Building. Photo: Todd Burgess Sunsation Media Artists REIVER and Jon Murrill work on their murals.

Only four traditional Florida drive-ins are still showing movies, and their screens keep a disappearing tradition alive

The lights go down, but nobody has to find a seat. Children settle under blankets in the back of the car. Someone adjusts the radio until the soundtrack comes through the speakers, while the smell of popcorn drifts from a concession stand that looks as though it belongs in another decade.

Florida native Gram Parsons is joining the Rock Hall of Fame this week

It took 60 years, but Gram Parsons is now seated with the greatest rock 'n roll musicians of all time. Parsons, a Winter Haven native, was voted posthumously into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year and will be part of the induction ceremonies for the 2026 class at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. Nov. 14. Parsons will be enshrined under the Early Influencer category. The criterion for the category is “artists whose music and performance style have directly influenced, inspired and evolved rock & roll and music impacting culture.” “He deserves it, absolutely,” said Gene Parsons, who was not related to Gram but was a noted drummer for The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers. “He definitely made his mark in music.” Gram Parsons is renowned for being one of the fathers of country-rock and creating a genre he labeled “Cosmic American Music.” The new sound blended rock, country with dabs of soul, gospel and folk infused into the mix. More of this year’s inductees include Phil Collins, Sade, Oasis, Iron Maiden and Wu-Tang Clan. The event will be recorded and aired on ABC and Disney + in December. Parsons performed with
