ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Every Sunday morning in St. Pete, at the intersection of Central Avenue and 11th Street, the mood brightens right along with the sidewalks.
From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., artists and practitioners of positivity gather for the Global Love Project, coloring the pavement with chalky bursts of hope, of healing and of happiness.
Anyone is invited to create, leave a message or read a message.
Or maybe just rock out to the Mad Picks, the awesome house band of this uplifting movement.
The Global Love Project was started a year ago by St. Pete artist Justin Lucci.
Justin was going through a tough time and decided to manifest his own positivity by chalking one word on the city streets: "LOVE."
"That first week I came here, I did it by myself," he said. "There's now 30 to 40 people who come out here every weekend."
