Editor’s Pick

“Ant Man” is coming to the Sunshine City.

The one and only American heart throb that is Paul Rudd — and Paul Giamatti — are filming a flick in the Burg from Monday, April 6 to Wednesday, April 8. Lucky us, Frontrunner Casting is currently looking for local, paid background actors for “The Statement.”

Directed by Tom McCarthy, the movie takes viewers back to “a Florida beach town in 1980, when the global conversation about climate change began,” according to St. Pete Catalyst.

The gig pays $200 per 12 hours of work — like we wouldn’t do it for free. Here’s how to apply.

Asked

What award-winning movie did Tom McCarthy direct?

A. “The Florida Project”
B. “Spotlight”
C. “Winter’s Tale”
D. “The Highlander”

Hint: It's kind of nerdy

News Notes

Development

Earlier this week, Rays leaders submitted a environmental resource permit for the new Hillsborough County ballpark with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Hillsborough County + the City of Tampa will likely vote on public funding in mid-April. (Tampa Bay Business Journal)

Coming Soon

Tastes Pretty Good, the team behind Streetlight Taco + Rocca, are opening a new spot in North Hyde Park. Lumbre, a Spanish restaurant, will debut in the incoming Rome Collective. Expect wood-fired seafood, paella, plus, imported cheeses and hams. We’ll keep you posted on the opening. (That’s So Tampa)

Real Estate

What’s new with Gasworx? KETTLER is getting ready to open the neighborhood’s new apartment tower, The Stevedore, and we got an early peek of the Ybor-inspired space. We’re always on crane watch around here. Aren’t you glad?

Watch

This one’s for the Rays fans in my life — including you, dear reader. Wondering where you can watch this season’s games? TBAY residents can tune into the games on Charter/Spectrum, Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, on AT&T U-verse, DirecTV/DTV Stream, and Fubo. (Tampa Bay Times)

Pets

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay just announced both of its kennels are full. The shelter’s out of space for pups over 30 pounds — forcing them to pause intake for owner surrenders and strays who need full-sized kennels. It’s the perfect excuse to adopt or foster a new forever friend.

Number

11-16. That’s the number of named storms AccuWeather predicts for the next hurricane season. Last year, there were 13 named storms, five of which developed into hurricanes but did not make landfall in the US. Hurricane season begins Monday, June 1. (Newsweek)

Wellness

The Wrap

Today’s edition by: Bailey

Last weekend, I lucked out and found a free easel on the side of the road. I somehow carried the stately number back home while walking Miss Sage. Please clap.

The lovely artist who gave away the piece suggested I pick up free supplies at Creative Thrift. Now, I’m wondering if there’s any other spots to get low-cost art tools in TBAY. Please let me know, and I’ll share with the class.
