Tampa Bay Food & Wine Experience postponed

Tampa, FL -- If you're like me and are wondering why you were refunded for the Tampa Bay Food & Wine Experience it seems that due to a permitting issue that would prevent organizers from setting up in time, the event was postponed.

The new date for the festival will be Feb. 17 & 18 at Curtis Hiixon Park in downtown Tampa.

If you purchased a ticket through Groupon you should have automatically received a refund to your account. If you purchased a ticket through the festival's website, the ticket is good for the new event date. However, if you would like a refund, you can email them at cheers@savor-events.com.

Turn historic Tampa building into cafe or restaurant

Tampa, FL -- The City of Tampa has opened the floor to proposals for the acquisition and redevelopment of a portion of the Water Works Building as a cafe or restaurant.

The building, also an historical landmark, sits adjacent to the 5-acre Water Works Park located in the Tampa Heights neighborhood along the east side of the Hillsborough River.

"This is a great opportunity to energize the neighborhood and make Tampa Heights a real destination location," Mayor Bob Buckhorn said in a release. "We are long overdue for a waterfront restaurant along the river in this community. This project is finally taking advantage of the property and possibilities along the Hillsborough River in Tampa Heights."
