The 30 million-gallon problem
Before Hurricane Hermine made landfall well north of St. Pete last week, officials didn't seem all that concerned about the possibility of another stormwater influx causing another sewage dump into coastal waters. They asked residents to curb their water consumption by refraining from running the dishwasher or, you know, watering their lawns in the pouring…

Happy UberEATS Day, Tampa! If you're in the activated area, enjoy the consequences of convenience, which hopefully doesn't include a side order of your delivery driver deciding you're pretty and creeping on you.

Sh*t happened 9/6/16: More rain, another dumb criminal, Florida’s best tacos
Back to work, wage-drones. The postponed SHINE Mural Festival block party got down yesterday, and the intersection of Central and 5th Street got a makeover. And then it fucking rained, AGAIN, because of same-sex marriage or whatever. Can we get, like, 24 hours to just sort of catch up and take stock? A dude who flagged…

On heels of the primary, Crist v. Jolly email war heating up (our existential anguish)
One of the most intriguing match-ups of the 2016 election season is kicking into gear on the heels of Tuesday's primary. The campaigns of former Gov. Charlie Crist and incumbent U.S. Rep. David Jolly (R-Indian Shores) had been, relatively speaking, rather dormant over the course of primary season, but that all changed shortly after polls…

You'd better be sitting down for this. Or at least indoors and stocked up and water and wine, because that lil tropical storm we were all watching out in the gulf has become a full-grown hurricane.
