Deputies say they found $3,898 worth of stolen items and a "booster bag" in a vehicle driven by Alberto Alex Rojas, 56, of Palm Harbor. Rojas served as getaway driver during the theft from Ross, according to an arrest affidavit.
A Palm Harbor man served as a getaway driver for a man and woman who traveled from Miami to Palm Harbor to steal merchandise from the Ross store at 33165 U.S. 19, according to authorities. On May 3 at about 9:15 p.m., Pinellas County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Alberto Alex Rojas, 56, of Palm Harbor and Jose Castillo, 19, and Gina Cordano, 44, whose hometowns were not provided. Deputies say the trio stole $1,085 worth of items from the store that evening using a "booster bag."

The farmer's market that used to be held on the grounds of the North Pinellas Historical Museum will re-open June 2 at Pop Stansell Park.
Palm Harbor will once again have a farmer's market. Representatives from the Palm Harbor Historical Society and CSA Palm Harbor Parks and Recreation met Wednesday afternoon and agreed to team up to bring the farmer's market back to Palm Harbor. The farmer's market that used to be held on the grounds of the North Pinellas Historical Museum will re-open June 2 at Pop Stansell Park. "After reading about what happened with the current location on Palm Harbor Patch, we realized it would be a great asset to add the market to one of our locations. We already have the park space, we have the shade, we have the accessibility and it's something that a Parks and Recreation Department should be partnering with," said Mathew Eberius, CSA Palm Harbor …

The threat of storms prompted organizers to move the April 12 event from its usual location on the athletic track of Palm Harbor University High to The Centre, which is nearby.
Bad weather wasn't enough to stop Palm Harbor's Relay for Life teams from raising more than $65,000 to fight cancer. The team raised a total of $65,876, according to the most recent tally on the team's website. The threat of storms prompted organizers to move the April 12 event from its usual location on the athletic track of Palm Harbor University High to The Centre, which is nearby. Relay for Life organizer Christen Tonry, who is also the principal of Palm Harbor University High, said that they realized a change in location might be needed a few hours before the event was scheduled to begin. Wind gusts of about 20-30 mph collapsed the "survivor" tent that was set up on the track at the high school. Erica Lynford, who is the director of …

An open air market can be a great asset to a community. For the market to be successful however certain elements must be in place. Look at either the Dunedin or St Pete markets, they both have a location that is easily available and is highly visible. Neither of the locations mentioned, Pop Stansell and/or Crystal Beach, meets this criteria. The old market was hidden on the museum grounds and a … more ›

The Cross Roads Farmer's Market used to be held every Sunday on the grounds of the North Pinellas Historical Museum. Vendor fees helped pay for the operation and upkeep of the museum.
Palm Harbor's only farmer's market is closed, forcing local shoppers to travel outside of Palm Harbor if they want a farmer's market experience and leaving vendors to find a new place to sell their goods. "I'm extremely disappointed," said Barb Haley, who helped manage the Palm Harbor Cross Roads Farmer's Market which used to be open every Sunday. "I think we had a lot of people who started businesses there. The community loved coming and finding different vendors," she added. The market was held in a grassy, shaded area on the grounds of the North Pinellas Historical Museum at the corner of Belcher and Curlew roads, which are two of the busier roads in the area. The market had moved there from its previous location at Old Palm Harbor Main…

How about using the run down park at Crystal Beach? Right now it's being used for Nothing and could really use some attention as it looks like an abandoned cemetery. A stage area could be built there for shade and entertainment along with restrooms and a playground area. There's a Pier there that could use some attention as well. more ›
