Dr. Dog, others booked for Tampa
Aestheticized Presents posted a slew of hot new shows to take us through spring. There are plenty to recommend but the one I'm most jazzed about is Dr. Dog (pictured), the Philly soul/pop band that just dropped one of the best CDs of recent months. Unfortunately, Dr. Dog handicapped itself with one of the worst…

Revitalizing West Tampa
Since our offices are in West Tampa, we've taken a special interest in this neighborhood, which has a long and storied history. I even put it on the cover with a story about its revitalization.

Weary Boys at New World Brewery
Here are a couple of pics taken by CL Finance guru London Fajkus of the Weary Boys at New World Brewery in Ybor City last night. The highlight of the show, for me, was a tasty cover of the Hank Williams classic "Jambalaya," which made the rustic courtyard feel like a Bayou juke joint.

This tiny spot — only 400 square feet, used to be the ice cream store — will serve northern Spanish "pincho" tapas, which has essentially…

Your guide to drowning Devil Ray bullpen sorrows in a mountain of Atwater ribs and chili-cheese dogs. Grab some grub and stretch out in the empty upper decks of Tropicana Stadium, or spend some serious cash for a club seat, you still won't escape the Yankee-crushing power of the Ray's bats. And a special treat…

Sometimes you don’t need a reason
This morning's entry is courtesy of CL Editorial Assistant Dawn Morgan: Noelle Price was coming through town from California, as she often does, to play bars and clubs and visit her friend Lara Cerri.
