Kevin Lilly‘s “The Bloc: The Reinvention of Community” is a snappy community website serving Downtown St Petersburg.
Unlike many such efforts, The Bloc takes full advantage of its host Ning‘s capability to do social networking in a colorful, friendly format. On top of all this, The Bloc is a reliable source for St Pete-centric event announcements. Witness below:
