Kenwood Is Not On the West Side of St. Petersburg

Following this blog's criticism of Wikipedia's poorly written and inaccurate description of the west side of St. Petersburg, the information has been updated. It might be coincidence, but it's possible someone read this blog and then corrected the Wikipedia entry. 

On October 28, 2020, in the post titled "History of St. Petersburg's City Limits and Expansion to the Jungle," I posted:

Wikipedia's Opinion of West St. Petersburg

"The western side of St. Petersburg includes the Grand Central District and Historic Kenwood. The Grand Central District houses the cities [sic] cafes, art galleries, restaurants, and bars all owing to the Renaissance style architecture. Historic Kenwood is filled with art studios and galleries similarly to the Grand Central District." 

‒ Wikipedia: St. Petersburg, Florida

Wikipedia's original headquarters were in St. Petersburg, so you'd think they would know something about the geography. The article makes no mention of the territory to the west of Kenwood, even though a Spanish expedition landed there in 1528 and, as noted in this blog, a lot of history was made in the early 20th century in the Jungle neighborhoods. As a matter of fact, Kenwood is on the east side of St. Petersburg.

I gave the author a pass on the "Renaissance style architecture," since I wasn't sure what that was, but that has been corrected, too.

So here is the update of that paragraph.

The central portion of St. Petersburg includes the Grand Central District and Historic Kenwood. The Grand Central District houses the city's cafes, art galleries, restaurants, and bars all owing to the Craftsman style architecture, Historic Kenwood is filled with art studios and galleries similarly to the Grand Central District. Kenwood was named "Neighborhood of the Year" in 2020 by Neighborhood, USA for revitalization and beautification.

The updated version is an improvement, although every neighborhood west of Kenwood is still considered unworthy of comment.

Anyone can edit/update a Wikipedia entry, so it was unfair to criticize Wikipedia which is  ‒ by far  ‒ the best website on the internet.
