Tampa authorities prep for Donald Trump rally on Saturday
Donald Trump is coming to downtown Tampa Saturday, with local authorities saying they're prepared for a large crowd and any potential protests. The Trump campaign has booked the Tampa Convention Center's East Hall, a 100,000-square-foot space. But convention center director Rick Hamilton said he assumes that, as in the past, the campaign will need additional rooms. In February, the presumptive Republican nominee for president drew more than 10,000 people to a rally at the USF Sun Dome.

ST. PETERSBURG — For the second straight year, a major rain event forced the city to dump millions of gallons of partially treated sewage into local waterways. On Tuesday night, the city started pumping at least two million gallons into Tampa Bay, according to an estimate by Claude Tankersley, the city's public works administrator. Without knowing how much more rain would fall, Tankersley said he couldn't estimate how many more gallons would need to be dumped. "Who knows?" he said.

Not the regional Tampa Bay moniker that includes (and often leans heavily on) the tourism beacons of St. Petersburg and Clearwater. In fact, the word "beach" is not even mentioned once. That says a lot about how far Tam..>> view originalFrom On Swann to Portillo's, 11 Tampa Bay restaurants opening this ...
Just as the Florida growing season is winding down, a new crop of Tampa Bay restaurants has sprouted. Makes sense. Summer tends to be a little slow for our dining scene, so it yields an ideal time to throw open the doors and work out the kinks before fall’s hubbub. From much anticipated high-profile restaurants in Tampa’s Hyde Park Village to second outposts of successful independents to reinvented mom-and-pops, the dog days are a perfect time to engineer a dine-around. ♦ Tampa MetWest Internat..>> view originalTampa Bay Rays want smaller year-round stadium — without upper ...
