The following story is a first-person description from Derisa Tuttle, a Patch fan in New Port Richey, who came down to St. Pete Beach to see Selena Gomez on Corey Avenue earlier this week.

First let me start out by saying I was not a big Selena Gomez fan. Until now. 

My March 13th started like any other. I woke up, had coffee and got five of my six kids off to school. Probably not in that order.

I got on my Facebook and saw a post that they were shutting down Corey and Gulf Boulevard in St. Pete Beach at 4 p.m. to shoot a movie about spring break.
