News Notes

Real Estate

Speaking of hot homes, a 1920s Davis Islands property has hit the market. The 200 Corsica St. home was built by Frederick Mayes during the Florida Land Boom. Mayes’ Mediterranean-esque properties can be found around the area + this one will set a buyer back $3.2 million. (Creative Loafing Tampa Bay)

Festival

Sunset Music Festival will not take place in Tampa this year. In fact, it won’t take place at all, with organizers saying they’re taking a year off to rebrand + find a “fresh venue.” You can sign up for updates.

Coming Soon

Chick this out. Sugar Wing is bringing its range of chicken goodness to the Tampa Bay area. The chain is opening a location in Seminole later this month + a spot in Tampa’s Westshore neighborhood in May. Stop by for chicken sandwiches, strips, wings, and sugar cookies. (I Love the Burg)

Environment

Hillsborough County officials say watering restrictions are working. The area’s drought conditions led officials to enforce the rules through the start of July. Leaders say the demand for water has gone down since the rules were introduced in late 2023. (Tampa Bay Times)

Award

A Tampa high school junior will be honored in the nation’s capital next month. Rudra Patel was named among 126 National STEM Champions for his creation, NIMBL — a device which uses artificial intelligence to turn thought into movement, aimed at helping people with motor disabilities + paralysis. (WFLA)

Community

Construction is complete on Treasure Island’s new city hall. The $11 million project is finished, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony set for Tuesday, April 2. There will be rentable community spaces within the building at 10451 Gulf Blvd., as well as waterfront views. (St. Pete Catalyst)

Arts

There are only a few days left to check out the “Path of the Panther” exhibit at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. Carlton Ward Jr.'s photo collection captures the species’ fight against extinction. Admission is $10 to $12 + the collection runs through Sunday, March 17 at 1630 E. 7th Ave. in Ybor City.

Ranked

No. 2. That’s where the Sunshine Skyway Bridge ranked on a list of the country’s most scenic bridges for the daily commute. The rankings were compiled with input from 3,000 commuters, and only Hawaii’s Admiral Clarey Bridge came in higher than TBAY’s iconic structure.

Number

200,000+. That’s the estimated number of people who flocked to the Burg this weekend for the 20th Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Four days of festivities ended with a 30th career victory for Josef Newgarden. (St. Pete Catalyst)

Get your green garb at the ready — St. Patrick’s Day is on the way.

And that means the Tampa Downtown Partnership’s annual River O’ Green event is coming back. The festivities are taking place on Saturday, March 16 — the day before the holiday — at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Hillsborough River will be turned shamrock green in honor of the holiday with eco-friendly dye. Officials say the dye is non-toxic + meets all EPA standards.

There will also be food + drink vendors, activities for kids, a pet costume contest, and live performances.

Officials are encouraging river-goers to make a transportation plan, as it could be tough to find parking downtown. The TECO Streetcar runs from Ybor City, and rideshare services like Uber, Lyft, and DASH are also available.

Heads up: We’ll be posting about it on Instagram.
