We now have over 21,500 supporters. Maximo Seafood Shack owner, Margaret, never even imaged this much support! Thank you very much for helping us. This weekend, Saturday morning started at just over 2,000 supporters for the Maximo Seafood Shack Change.org Petition. Saturday the petition spiked to 5,000 views. Sunday morning, the petition went SUPER viral collecting over a total of 14,000 supporters for a total of 19,000 Sunday night. Monday morning woke up to over 20,000 supporters. Now that we have over 20,000 petition supporters, thought I would share the seafood, views, old Florida and our area using my photography. I created “Seafood With A View — Maximo Seafood Shack in St. Pete” so you can enjoy what is being taken away from us by out-of-state owners with no regard for the local community! See what we see through a passionate photographer’s lens and heart! https://slate.adobe.com/cp/UHCdT/ FILMING YOUR SHACK STORY Film crew will continue following Margaret and filming the Shack experience. Final edits are being made on the trailer. We expect to release this this week. Stay tuned. Monday going to the Fishery to film the "Where seafood comes from!"

Yet, Mayor Kriseman has no problem calling the President of the Tampa Bay Rays! COMMENTS Maryland — Why would you want to destroy a successful small business? I would think there could be plans made to keep her business alive and still maintain the current West Palm Beach, Florida — Forcing small businesses out of there locations should be illegal. New York — I own my own small business, Why hurt the little guys. Maitland, Florida — Tired of hearing large corporations (supported by our elected representatives) destroying small business owners. THIS has to stop. Texas — Why do you put local people that have made your town/community what it is out of business.It is greed !!!!! Shame on you. Leave her business alone. Indiana — I visit Florida every year and while I have never been to St. Petersburg, my family and I always enjoy going to local seafood shacks like this one. Crystal river Florida — Florida has enough over development, we are quickly losing the appeal that draws tourists, such as this small business. California — As a Floridian in exile, these are the places I really miss - they make FL special and they need to be saved not destroyed for "more of the plastic same" STATS — They keep growing! 21,604 Supporters 1797 Comments — Added 820 since Saturday morning.
