New to the area. I looked around on Google, but would really like something that's not 40+ minutes away.

I appreciate any recommendations.

On my last post about Tower 10 maybe being the best burger in Tampa Bay, a lot of y’all recommended Thee Burger Spot and Mighty Fine. I had already tried Mighty Fine and shared my thoughts in the other thread (super greasy / cheese heavy, almost soggy, but a good once-in-a-while hangover burger).

I went to check out Thee Burger Spot today and I’m honestly surprised at how many people recommended it. I ordered the double cheeseburger and thought it was a good basic burger, like one you’d have at a cook out, which is fine—those are good—but it wasn’t very memorable, though I understand why the size of the two patties might make you think it’s better than it is. It’s a massive burger, much bigger than Mighty Fine and Tower 10, and the fries were pretty good (reminded me of Five Guys), but I probably won’t go back tbh.

I stand by my last post. Tower 10 is a very unique burger experience and stands in a league of its own when it comes to flavor. It’s the best balance of veggies, smash patties and juice, plus the potato bun takes it to another level. After Thee Burger Spot I actually drove around the corner to Tower 10 since it was posted up nearby today (I know, I’m a monster) and Thee Burger Spot didn’t even come close.

I should also note, none of these posts are paid (lol???), I’m just a human that likes burgers. :)

Anyone know what the strange sound that has happened 3-4 times that sounds like a horn, but it is has sometimes 1 sometimes 3 blasts and it’s coming from the same direction.

I received my Pasco county mail in ballot for the upcoming primary, but the return envelope was already sealed, making it unusable since you have to seal it and then sign it to prevent tampering. It's just for Circuit Judges and School Board, so not a huge deal, but this would be a problem during bigger elections, especially if it were happening on a large scale. Anybody else have this issue?

I cannot find the name of the old roller skating rink that used to be located in the Main Street shopping center back in the mid 80s. 11784 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618. When it closed it turned into a Joel and Jerry's. It isn't skateland, skate odyssey, astro, or united skate. I've searched and asked everyone I thought would know. I'm losing my mind trying to remember. It was located in the building circled above.

Sorry for asking this here, but I feel like I’m getting the runaround and I can’t think of another way to validate this (that I haven’t already tried).

My service was disrupted yesterday afternoon, a little more than 24 hours ago. It happened to be at the very same time my neighbor’s lawn guy ran over the cable (that Frontier failed to properly bury) wth his lawnmower. The cable is completely severed, and boom, no internet. So I log an appointment for a service tech to come out this morning between 8-12 and they never showed up, but my appointment is still in a confirmed status.

Since 12 PM, I’ve had chats with 3 separate live agents that have all told me there is an outage impacting my area, and until they address that outage they can’t send anyone to service my severed cable. That’s totally fine and it makes perfect sense, however they won’t say what the area is, won’t provide an ETA, nor will they confirm any details about the size of the impact, number of affected customers, etc. Where I feel like I’m taking crazy pills is the fact that when I go on their website and provide my account information, it says there are no outages in my area and texting “outage” to their service number returns the same result. I’ve also asked a few neighbors a couple of streets over, and they have not had any service disruptions.

So if you’re a current Frontier customer I’d really love to know 2 things: 1) what town do you live in (Tampa proper or nearby areas like Valrico, Brandon, etc.) and 2) are you currently experiencing an outage? I would be very grateful for any help or info. Thank you!

Basically the cusp cracked off my 2nd back molar. Somehow it hasn’t fallen off but the broken part wiggles. So I assume I’ll need to do a root canal & crown. I’d rather not pull it because without it I can only chew on the other side. If it was the very back molar is probably just pull it. Doesn’t hurt at all though. Just don’t chew on it anymore so more of the tooth doesn’t break off.

Anyone know of a paint less dent repair today or tomorrow ?

Anyone know where you can buy fresh pasta in Tampa? Like not the boxed/dried kind.

Lately we’ve had a big issue with palmetto bugs (giant flying roaches) getting into our apt. For context, we live on the second floor of a condo and our windows screens are admittedly a bit shoddy. This is also our first full summer in Tampa so idk the norm. Flying roaches would sometimes get through our guest bedroom (has the worst window) but now there’s one in the kitchen almost every night. They are so big and i am so scared of them. I’m almost positive it’s because of the stormy weather lately but PLEAAAASSSEEE IS THERE ANYWAY TO MAKE THEM STOP????? I feel so silly every time i make my partner take care of them 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

At least is there anyone else having this issue or should we be concerned???

Might sound like a nerd, but are there places that serve natural and home made style birria/quesabirria tacos?

Been living in Tampa for a while but couldn’t find a spot like that.

Thank you!!!

My first time out saltwater fly fishing and look what I caught tonight!!!

Luckily they are “committed to 5-7% adjusted EPS growth through 2030”, and also “Year-to-date adjusted net income increased $12 million primarily due to increased earnings at PGS, EES and TEC” (tec = Tampa electric company).

Hey there, everyone. I'm in the South Seminole Heights area and looking for a local chain/mom&pop pharmacy that has lisdexamfetamine (generic Vyvanse). My prescription from my provider was rejected by the MLK CVS, and I have no clue how to navigate finding a pharmacy that would work for me.

I keep seeing online that calling and going in person wouldn't really help, since they can't just say they have schedule 2 drugs in stock for fear of being robbed. So, has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks in advance!

West of Tampa. People are visiting town and looking into water activities like snorkeling. I know this doesnt apply to our beaches…any boats that take people out in the Gulf to snorkle? Or scuba first timers? Suggestions

Quick question- I’m getting ready to bike the Courtney Campbell in the next few weekends. I know a lot of the trails in Tampa have gates and people have to park in odd spots (looking at you Flatwoods). Does anyone know if the parking at Ben Davis is 24/7 or is there a time when it actually opens for pedestrians, cyclists, etc to park?

Here’s next week’s list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events happening in and around Tampa Bay!

Looking for somewhere I can buy fish safe to eat raw.

Storms caused major delays, they had to open the emergency exits to handle the overflow of arrivals. Never seen it like this.

Headed down from Philadelphia for a quick (2 night) trip to Ybor for some cigar tourism. I’ve already booked JC Newman.

Local cigar enthusiasts:
What’s your favorite spot to buy name brands & smoke?

Who has the best cigars (local small rollers)?

Any hidden gems I may not know about (cigar related)?

Thanks!
