After the pub's kitchen was destroyed by a fire this weekend, the owner put out a call for help on the businesses' Facebook page. Lea Doyle can only describe the response with one word, "unbelievable."
The Horse & Jockey British Pub has been part of the South Pasadena community for 26 years, and during that time has always hosted a much anticipated St. Patrick's Day party. This year, the party was cancelled when a fire broke out in the pub's kitchen the day before the big celebration. "There's nothing to cry about," Owner Lea Doyle said as he walked through the smoke charred bar. "We're going to have a huge reopening party," he said with a smile. The fire hasn’t dampened Doyle’s spirits. In fact, he's amazed at the amount of support he's received. The fire happened around 3 a.m. Saturday morning. Just hours later, Doyle posted a call for help on the pub's Facebook page, asking anyone available to come on down and clean what they can. "…

Several yachts were broken into at the MarineMax in South Pasadena Thursday.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office is investigating a series of break-ins at the MarineMax Yacht Service Center at 6810 Gulfport Blvd. in South Pasadena. Deedee Moss, the Service Administrator, says five yachts were broken into on Thursday, Jan. 10. It happened between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Moss says that although nothing was stolen, the burglars ransacked the boats, pulled out drawers and caused minor damage to one boat. "They didn't take anything, it's really weird," Moss said. Moss says three fishing poles were taken from one yacht but were left on the dock. "They may have gotten spooked," she said of the suspect or suspects. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office at (727) 582-6200.
