News Notes

Community

Electric bills are up, but why? The Tampa Bay Times reports that it’s a mixture of new hurricane recovery charges, rising temps, and base rate increases. Here’s the full breakdown + what residents have to say. (Tampa Bay Times)

Number

3,973. That’s how many people moved out of Pinellas from July 1, 2023, through July 1, 2024, according to a Redfin study. It’s the first time in years the county has reported a loss in domestic migration. But it follows a broader trend of folks moving out of flood-prone neighborhoods. (Tampa Bay Business Journal)

Coming Soon

Blind Tiger is back like it never left — in Seminole Heights, that is. The popular Tampa java joint recently reopened in the old Circa 1949 spot, offering coffee + 40 beers on tap. Plus, right now the location is offering free meals for kids. (Creative Loafing Tampa Bay)

Sports

The Trop is almost back to a full bill of health, and it’s time to get 2026 tickets. And the new owners are offering 15% price reductions on tons of ticket options. And we know what you’re thinking, $10 tickets are back. (I Love the Burg)
“Hey, I just saw a Roseate Spoonbill.” If your partner perked up, congrats — they’ve passed the bird theory test. The trend supposedly tests how tuned-in your sweetheart really is. Bonus: Who doesn’t love local bird talk?

Editor’s Pick

A peek at what’s on view in the exhibition.

One of the best parts of living in TBAY — in my opinion — is never being more than a 15-minute drive from some kind of niche or renowned museum.

Yesterday, I got a peek at the Dalí’s latest exhibition: Alberto Giacometti & Salvador Dalí: Through & Beyond Surrealism, which opens tomorrow, Nov. 15. For the those not in the know (i.e. me), Giacometti was one of the foremost sculptors of the 20th century.

The exhibit features 70+ pieces — like Giacometti’s cataclysmic “Suspended Ball” — and explores the parallels between the surrealists’ lives, inspiration, and influential work.

I highly recommend getting a tour of the gallery with a docent — so you can hear all the deets about the demise of their failed garden project — and ending your visit in The Endless Garden to participate in a unique interactive experience. I won’t give away the surprise.
