  1. Hi Joy:
    Hope you and Steve are well. I’m the lady who organized the mural tour with you a couple years ago from Imperial Point in Largo. I’m wondering if you could do another tour for us, but with new and different murals. Didn’t you say there are over 500 in St Pete? I’m sure we just scratched the surface last time. Like last time we’d like to end up back at Haslam’s where we will park and then we will all head out to a restaurant for a late lunch that you might suggest for us. Hoping you can join us for lunch. Or how about this idea…Could you make lunch part of the tour and add the cost of lunch to the tour? Something to think about.
