As a gun owner who conceal carries regularly, I say this man is a liability and the police did not do their job.

Just saw a challenger that was cutting traffic going over 120 mph and he lost control and spun out. If you are going that way traffic might be bad. Also I wish I had a dash cam because that shit was absolutely nuts

Anyone else seen this guy? He’s been on west bound Hillsborough Ave by Tudor Cay condominiums every morning from 6:30-7:30AM for weeks now throwing up a Roman salute.

Does anybody know what happened to the Ramada hotel by Wyndham in westshore Tampa? The place is currently getting demolished and was closed down for a good while before as I saw but I don’t know why it shut down/who it got sold to

How hard is it to pick up a sub position? Did you have to have any experience? What is pay like?

Radios, AI, cameras: DeSantis, Cabinet approve $87 million in immigration grants

DeSantis, meanwhile, is one of the only top Republicans to have warned against the “darkness and deceit” represented by unregulated AI. He attempted to force an “AI Bill of Rights” through the Legislature, but White House pressure killed the bill in the state House.

That didn’t stop DeSantis, however, from approving local requests for AI-based cameras, translation services, and software systems on Tuesday.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of somewhere special to take my almost four year old for her birthday this weekend. The plan was to go to a kpop sing along concert at the motor enclave but I guess the event was cancelled. She loves all things princess and unicorns, dancing and singing, anything pretty and girly. I’m willing to drive to Orlando or somewhere similar distance but I can’t afford Disney. My budget is around $80 if anyone has a suggestion!
Last year we did a kids spa and while she liked it it’s a bit pricey for us right now.

I live on the edge of forest hills and am looking for good running routes (3-7miles) I hate that I have to drive somewhere to run, but the city doesn’t pay for all the streetlights to be on and apparently passes that cost to the homeowner if they choose. So that leaves me with stretches of darkness that unfortunately doesn’t feel the safest to be running down as a woman. Since I run pre-dawn I need a better lit area!
I’m not interested gyms right now.

Looking for GP, I have unitedhealthcare however I can not find a doctor taking new patients. I've reached out to 10 offices and they either never called me back or said they aren't taking any patients. Looking ideally around Carrollwood but I'm willing to drive at this point. Thank you.

I’ve been struggling with my mental health lately and think guided meditation could help. I’m hoping to find a group or community that meets regularly, preferably beginner-friendly. If anyone has had a good experience with a meditation center, Buddhist temple, yoga studio, or similar place in the Tampa area, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you

As a weekly flyer, I'm disappointed in my beloved airport.

I'm an incoming USF student. Does anyone know of anywhere to play tackle football around USF or Tampa? A club, team, league, pickup, or anything like that.
I know USF only has flag football intramurals, so I was hoping there are some tackle options nearby. Nothing too serious or competitive, just looking for somewhere to play, improve, and have fun.

Edit: While I remain eternally grateful for everyone's concern regarding my long-term health, I'd be even more grateful if someone could point me toward a place to play 11-man football.

Hi there! Looking for a nail tech/ independent tech that can do hybrid gel/gel x/builder gel & is good with designs of any kind!
Preferably the south Tampa area

Hey Tampa Bay,

I’m looking for a 50th birthday venue in the Tampa area, expecting close to 100 adult guests.

It’ll be in November, so an outdoor option should work as well.

Please recommend a few options.

Thanks!

My car AC has a leak and a mechanic is telling me I need an evaporator and expansion valve. They’re quoting me $1,900 for the job and everyone I’ve spoken to says that way too much. I’m looking for someone to fix it in the Lowry Park area because I don’t want to be taking 30+ minute Ubers while I’m without my car.

While we’re at it, maybe this could be a good thread to share good mechanics in Tampa. Thanks in advance guys.

Edit: I have a 2020 Hyundai Accent.

I’m looking to replace 2 exterior French doors. Anyone use a local company that they would recommend?
