The senior class from The Acting Studio (122 Flagship Dr., Tampa, FL) has put together a "must-see" show reviving the longest running show on London's West End, Return to the Forbidden Planet by Bob Carlton! Shakespeare, B-movie Sci-Fi and classic rock tunes from the 50's and 60's are creatively wov...

A media-only meeting was held Tuesday to discuss the future of Verizon FIOS and some interesting features to come. While I've been a Brighthouse customer for as long as I've lived in Florida, a number of these (especially the DVR functions) seem light years ahead of what Brighthouse is doing. Here's...

I've always loved dive bars. Maybe it's the crazy stuff you hear on the jukebox. Maybe it's the crazy people you see in and out through their various levels of inebriation. Maybe it's the strange hours or the odd smells. Whatever it is, dive bars have always appealed to that deeply harbored need to ...

This is a pretty well known tale and I'd heard of this going on when I lived in Detroit, though I never thought I'd actually see it in action. I pulled into my local Sweetbay (805 E DR Martin Luther King Jr Blvd 0 Tampa, FL 33603-4337) today to pick up a few groceries. No sooner did I park than two ...

While walking around the Ybor Saturday Market the other day, I ran across a booth selling one of my favorite things: hot sauces! It's no secret that I'm a saucehound and a real spice nerd, considering my kleptomaniacal hoarding of hot sauces at every restaurant I can swipe them from. It's also no se...

With all the discussion going on with the changes to HART, the rail system and other HART-related issues all over Tampa, I went to the source to ask about the state of mass transit in Tampa. Kathy Karalekas, Public Information Officer for the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit, was kind enough to re...

While killing time in Ybor on Saturday before the jalapeno eating contest, Kara and I decided to head into Gameworks (1600 E 8th Ave # A147, Tampa, FL 33605, (813-241-9675). I'd been in both this and other Gameworks before and recall it being a lot of fun. It's amazing how things change. Perhaps I'm...

Nudity in the name of art rides that razor thin line between tasteful medium and exploitation. Too far to one side and you're not making your point. Too far to the other side and you've pushed your art into the void of smut. THE MUSE, an exhibit of living artwork inspired by love, nudes, sex and St....
