Down the street from the Hilton was a little private airport, but with a bistro called The Hangar, offering breakfast, and what a great breakfast it was! Just what I needed to get ready for Day 2 of the Industry Insider Music Summit.

Day 1 of the Industry Insider Music Summit ended with a pool party at the Hilton.

22nd Street South, known as the “Deuce Deuce”, is the historic heart of Black St. Petersburg, and once a street of entertainment to rival Memphis’ Beale Street or Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn. The years have not necessarily been kind to 22nd Street, but a number of historic buildings remain, including the Royal Theater, which is now used as a youth performance center. Nearby streets have an incredible number of churches (at least one in every block, it seems) as well as an interesting wood-carving shop and a recording studio, where I met the rapper Fo Sheezy who was hard at work recording material for an upcoming album or mixtape.
