Still Cuttin' It

On the corner of First Avenue N and 9th street in St. Petersburg you can get a great view of the past and a crew cut for the present. At the Stadium Barber Shop, Dominic "Lucky" Locilento and James "Jimmy" Comis quietly work their clippers and shears. If you ask they will tell you how the Dome district used to be, because they know. Lucky and Jimmy, both from New York, started their craft in 1970. In the same location since they started, they have survived the changes while other business have come and gone. Find out what makes these two barbers special.
