Beach bar owner "blindsided" by commissioner request
St. Pete Beach – Rob Williams thought he would speak about the car show and go back home, but before the commission reached that item on the agenda, District 1 Commissioner Lorraine Huhn told fellow commissioners she thought the outdoor use in front of the Swigwam--Williams’ tavern on Corey--posed a “public safety issue”.
“It [the city allowing smokers to sit in front of the Swigwam] really isn’t working as well for the city as it is for one of the business operators,” she said.
