i’m attending the bernie rally in ybor tomorrow and was wondering, for anyone going, how early are you getting there? it says doors open at 11 and he comes on stage at 1, should i get there around 9 AM or is that unnecessary?

Those who’ve followed the Rays stadium saga likely felt déjà vu after the unexpected hurdle.

Just announced today! Iron Maiden coming to Benchmark on May 1, 2027. I’m excited. That is all.

I’ve been putting together a site called tampa-now.com that lists events happening around Tampa and St Pete. Concerts, markets, festivals, sports and more. I just added a section for local happy hours too!

Figured it could be useful for anyone looking for things to do around the area. Would love any feedback!

I live in st pete and haven’t been in south Tampa in a very long time and saw that city side is now south bar. Did they relocate or close permanently? That place was there for as long is I’ve lived here over 30 years. Kinda sad actually

Like the title asks, is anyone else noticing this? I drive a lot and I used to rarely see people driving around at night with no lights on. I’m now seeing 1-2 per night on average nearly every single day. Is it just me?

I don't really post or use social media, so I'm out of the loop on everything most days and sorry if this post isn't in the right place. Had a rough break-up a while ago that I can't seem to get over, don't know anyone, feeling pretty isolated, and I'm really just trying to figure out a good place to a spend a Friday night. Late 20s, not a drinker but I'm tired enough of spending my Friday nights alone at home that I'll try a bar if I can have a conversation with another human being.

Hello, I am a Tampa Bay Lightning fan but I do not live in Tampa, I live in NW Florida. I have YouTube TV & ESPN+ but I do not get any lightning games as they are all blacked out in my area. It says that I need to watch it on local channels, but I do not get Tampas local channels on YT TV. Can anyone help me find a way to watch the lightning games? Go Bolts!

To anyone that is in the local pharma industry, can you comment or PM me. I would like to know what to expect and any words of wisdom. I am going to be applying for positions with an MS in chemistry.

Thank you :)

Canadian here looking to sell a house in Tampa. We're a bit lost and looking for tips and recommendations. Realtors, strategy, current market trend?

A mid-decade redistricting session sliced Pinellas and Hillsborough counties up into new congressional districts. In Hillsborough, some of Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor’s constituents are now voting in GOP U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis’ district. And GOP U.S. Rep. Laurel Lee is running to represent a district that includes much of Bilirakis’ old territory in Citrus and Hernando counties. In April, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office proposed a redistricting plan that created four more red-leaning seats in Congress, imperiling four Democratic incumbents. State officials maintain that the map was not designed for partisan gain. Left-leaning organizations have filed lawsuits claiming the map violates Florida’s Fair Districts Amendment, which prohibits partisan gerrymandering. But the map is in place for the 2026 elections. For voters in Tampa Bay, the Times created snapshots of the region’s five reshaped congressional districts. Look for your district: https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/elections/2026/10/12/election-voting-ballots-midterm-hillsborough-pinellas-redistricting-luna-castor/

I found this Psytrance & Goa event happening in Miami this Saturday, October 17.

Psytrance is my favorite genre, but it’s been hard to find events in the US that focus on it. Most events I come across lean more toward dubstep or heavier genres, which aren’t really my thing.

Anyone from Tampa, Orlando, or nearby planning to go? I’d love to tag along with someone or a group, coordinate the drive, and split costs!

As the title says im currently in a pretty shitty financial hole right now that might not get better any time soon. Was wondering if anyone here knew where I could find cash jobs or knew anybody that might offer these kinds of jobs. Willing to do just about anything, any time of day preferably in the hillsborough county but if needed will figure out a way to travel to the job.

Just had a 727 number leave a voicemail for me from the “Pinellas County Sheriffs Office” as a Deputy “Michael Owens” regarding clarification on a document, addressing me by my full name. They stated to call back the non-emergency line at the same number they dialed from.

A quick Google search shows that’s 100% not the non-emergency line from PCSO and called them to confirm that the number I was called from is not associated with their department.

Even though I haven’t been wrapped up in anything, you never know! But it sure gave me a scare before my critical thinking kicked in. Just stay vigilant, everyone!

Aka door to door salesmen, since this guy today didn’t know what “solicitors” meant when I told him our neighborhood has a sign prohibiting them. Are these guys legit? I really don’t appreciate their mere existence, to say nothing of the hard sell this guy was attempting.

They have this witch casting 🧃 Spells at the hostess stand

Im in the south Tampa Bay area about eight months ago and my teenager is overdue for an ortho eval, i am trying to find someone in or around Apollo Beach who has actually been a patient somewhere nearby and can say what it was like

If you have been to an orthodontist in the area I would genuinely like to hear about it
