Friday came and went without a showdown at the tent city for the homeless in downtown St. Petersburg.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society, which had allowed a group of homeless to pitch their tents on its lot, had set a deadline of noon Friday after the social service organization was cited for code violations by the city.
While saying they were grateful for the help, some of the homeless and their supporters said St. Vincent de Paul could have done more to fight for the tenters' right to stay, such as accepting donations to pay for code violation fines. At the rally, several held signs critical of St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker, who has the authority to waive the code enforcement.
