St. Petersburg is proud to welcome visitors to their city. Two of these towers with a Mediterranean Revival style were built in the 1980s along Interstates 175 and 375. But after the eight-lane Howard Frankland Bridge was finished over Old Tampa Bay in the 1990s, no sign greeted incoming traffic on Interstate 275. That changed in 2012 when local businessman Bill Edwards donated $600,000 to construct this pink sign that says, “St. Petersburg Welcomes You.”
