PINELLAS PARK — Construction began this week on an empty lot of Park Boulevard but not on a shopping center or restaurant typical of the area.
It will be made from some unconventional building blocks: shipping containers.
The containers are being repurposed to make a gallery and apartment space for a local artist to serve as a gateway to the city’s arts district budding in the 5600, 5700 and 5800 blocks of Park Boulevard.
