Demolition begins on the St. Pete pier

The heavy duty demolition of the St. Petersburg Pier really gets going next week, but Wednesday a pair of city workers with a pick-up pulled up some of the bricks from the Pier's pedestrian walkway.

Pier could be gone within months

If the City Council approves a $3.1-million demolition contract this Thursday, city engineer Tom Gibson said dismantling of the pyramid could start in early August and be finished within 60 days.
