Happy birthday St. Petersburg!
Today, we cast aside the fear of sounding too cheesy or high-strung, and sincerely confess our love for the stunning city we call our home. There is so much to adore about St. Petersburg: its austere beauty, its strong personality, and the inspiration it bestows upon its most creative residents.
