6/30/2025 TODAY'S GUEST Kevin King is a St. Pete native, grew up on the west side, is a graduate of Gibbs High where he studied with the legendary journalism teacher Herb Sirota and graduated USF St. Pete. Says Rui: "There’s many layers here that we’ll talk about, but most know or remember Kevin as an important part of Mayor Kriseman’s administration. I now have the honor of working with him on the Board of the Museum of History." They talk about how the city has changed, the importance of sharing the city's history and envisioning the future.
ABOUT Historically St Pete: Aired Monday on RadioStPete.com, this is a weekly conversation where we explore the truths, and myths of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. Rui Farias is the Executive Director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History. Located on the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 103 years, and now he shares them you.
Says Rui: "Back when I used to teach history at St. Pete High, I would try and instill the importance of knowing your community’s history. Whether it’s the founding fathers & mothers, or the birth and grow of your city, and yes, even the bad or uncomfortable history. I truly believe that once you understand the history of St. Pete, how we started, what we’ve gone through, how we’re still trying to grow and improve, you can’t help but fall in love with this city. It’s even easier if you’re a native."
