Anyone know what the name of this tile is?!
thank you both! I found the picture on Pinterest, but it doesnt lead to a website of any kind!! I think its like an infinity tub of some sort? I was looking at the tile as a backsplash for my kitchen...
Oh my that's pretty! It reminds me of one of my favorites I've had marked for a while which is sumi-e in probably the silk finish. I can't seem to find it in the larger bricks shown in the pool though. The first photo isn't the color range you're looking for I don't think -- but I think it MAY be the product. Search for sumi-e large brick. There are a few colors available and they come in silk and glossy sheens.
The other one I like is Kiss My Big Fat Glass. I'm not as crazy about their coloration though.

Best of luck! Here's a website that seems to have the most accurate representation of the color (IMO) I don't blame you for loving this stuff. I think it's beautiful as well! The Ohara seems to have the best mix of blue/gray/brown to my eye.

MLB Trade Deadline: Red Sox Could Be In Good Shape Despite Dismantling Title Team
Published August 1, 2014
CAN TEAM REALLY CONTEND IN '15? ESPN BOSTON's Gordon Edes noted Cherington and Farrell on Thursday both talked about "returning to contender status next season," but there is "simply no rational way to argue that cutting ties with Lester and Lackey was the best way to do so" (ESPNBOSTON.com, 7/31). The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Geoff Foster wrote the Red Sox "haven't quite gone full-Florida Marlins, but they are awfully close" (WSJ.com, 7/31). In Boston, Dan Shaughnessy writes it is "hard to figure out what the Sox are planning" for '15 and beyond. Shaughnessy: "No doubt there are other moves ahead. Sox fans had better hope there will be some money spent on pitching help during the offseason." The "one conclusion we can draw from all this is that the Sox are intent on not overpaying older players" (BOSTON GLOBE, 8/1). In Hartford, Jeff Jacobs writes Red Sox fans "may be forced to live with last-place finishes, but Boston will not endure long-term rebuilding" (HARTFORD COURANT, 8/1).
PROVEN COMMODITIES WANTED: In Boston, Ron Borges writes, "Stockpiling prospects and draft picks is something the Sox believe in partly because young talent is cheap talent." That begs the question why Cherington made Thursday's trades. Borges: "Maybe because in the dark of the night he looked back five or six years and realized prospects are a crapshoot who mostly crap out" (BOSTON HERALD, 8/1).

Respond to Review of Pokez
by katroshka
Review: I've been going to Pokez since about 1998, and have always loved it. I don't usually get rude service, but the servers definitely don't fawn over customers. That's ok with me. I'm there for the cheap and great food. Tofu, potato and mushroom burrito highly recommended. It's a great place for kids since it is noisy and somewhat chaotic already, I never am embarrassed about my kids being a little noisier than I usually allow.

Of emails, fleas and odd things
I continue to get the occasional sly look whenever I mention snow fleas, as if I'm trying to put one over.
I've received even more suspicious looks on the subject of snow spiders. These are real, too (as Casey Stengel would say, you could look it up), but to see one you have to be keen on looking at the ground a lot and adept at noticing anything moving.
Algae of all colors can erupt in the snow, usually late in winter, in a snow bank facing south into the sun. They can be pink, orange or red. If your cherished one comes home with stories of such sightings and you immediately figure that he's had his snoot in a jug of Old Skunk, he probably hasn't - but then, of course, maybe he has.
About emails:
I love to hear from readers, but please include your town and telephone number so I (a) can make sense of your message or experience in terms of geography, and (b) can contact you if there's a question. I never divulge such information in print without explicit permission.
I enjoy speaking, and over the years (39 writing this column, 45 years of newspapering) have done so all around the state. Typically, I do this at a library, historical society, service organization, hunting and fishing club or Grange gatherings.

(SANTA MONICA, CA) -- Bad Ass Frank officially launches his production company, Superiority Complex Pictures. Shooting began July 31 on his premiere release, 'After School Special #1: Bad Ass Girls Club' starring Hailey Young, Tricia Oaks, newcomer Jessica Hanson and more. It's a series of hot school-girl themed vignettes featuring extremely hardcore, aggressive sex along with some sick humor.
"I have a background in comedy writing," says Frank, "so everything I direct will have somewhat of a comedic aspect. Plus I want to incorporate the personalities of the talent and most of these girls can be hilarious. But the sex will definitely be rough, dirty and nasty. You'll see very real scenes from the girls in all my movies."
SCP plans to release 'Bad Ass Girls Club' in September, then 2 titles per month starting early 2006. "I'm definitely going to continue the 'After School Special' line. The school-girl theme will remain but with a different story line for each new movie. Other titles will follow, all based on my twisted and unique vision. I don't want to be one of those companies where every movie looks and feels the same. While my movies might all have a comedic edge, one might be lighthearted and fun while the next is dark and edgy. Ultimately, I'll produce quality films with amazing sex scenes that raise the bar in adult entertainment," said BAF.
Initially, Bad Ass Frank-directed movies will be the focus of SCP. But plans for the future include bringing in new, cutting edge directors along with projects developed for specific talent with star potential. "Think big, outrageous, explosive... it's not called 'Bad Ass Frank's Superiority Complex Pictures' for nothing. It's called that because I pretty much rule," stated Frank.
Interested distributors and press can contact Bad Ass Frank at 310-453-5920 or email@example.com.

This is a shot of the same white blossomed bush from further out. Several canes are sprawling out and laying on the ground. I bloomed profusely in the spring and throughout the season, and still today sparse blooms. Small flowers 1-1 1/2 inch in diameter. Many clustered together. Dark green foliage. The entire bush is about 7? feet in diameter.

Gautam Kurup who won acclaim for his role as a villain in Thupakki is all set to send a shiver down filmgoers' spine with his new film Puthiya Thiruppangal
A baddie couldn't have got a better deal than this. Imagine shaking a leg in an item number with the beautiful Andrea Jeremiah! The new bad guy in town, Gautam Kurup, was put through his dance paces by director Sarada Ramanathan for her forthcoming film Puthiya Thiruppangal. With his menacing, ruffian looks, Gautam plays a kingpin in this film about child trafficking.
"Puthiya Thiruppangal, true to its meaning, should have been the turning point in my career, for it was my first Tamil film signed after Kandahar in Malayalam. But, as luck would have it, Thuppaki, my second film was released earlier. Thanks to director Murugadoss who instantly signed me up for the film when we met in Mumbai, I got a lot of recognition for my role as the second villain to Vidyut Jamal," says Gautam.
It all started way back in 2009 when Gautam had acted in a short Hindi film Murdering Innocents. "Major Ravi, director of Kandahar, happened to see it and cast me in his film. I was told that ace cinematographer Madhu Ambat had also seen the film and recommended me to director Sarada Ramanathan. She signed me on even before we met." Gautam plays a child trafficker in the film. When Gautam heard that Murugadoss was casting for Thuppaki, he sent in his request and was called to Mumbai for an audition. "I got selected. I was hanging around during a shoot where Vijay was doing his schedule. I had earlier met him in Delhi during the filming of Nanban, when I was there as part of the unit's line production agency which I own. Vijay thought I was doing something similar in Mumbai and was pleasantly surprised to know that I was the bad guy he would be encountering the following day on the sets!" exclaims Gautam.
With Puthiya Thiruppangal hitting the screen this week, Gautam is already onto his next projects. "Word must have got around that a new baddie is in town. Because, I have just been signed up for Super Good Films' Jilla, as the second villain. Interestingly, my first film was with Mohan Lal in Malayalam and Vijay in Tamil. Now, in Jilla, I will have both for company."
Gautam has been signed on by director Newton for his forthcoming Marudu which has Rejith as the hero. "It is a love story and as you can expect, I play a negative role. Director-actor J. K. has also confirmed my inclusion in his next venture, Mugan where I play an underworld character. With so much happening, I am quite excited," smiles Gautam Kurup, who has had to shave off his menacing beard and trim his hair for a more sophisticated, Southie bad boy!

Urbanism on Tap invites you to discuss role of universities in urban design
Tuesday, November 04, 2014
Tampa's Urban Charrette and the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) Tampa Bay will host Urbanism on Tap at PJ Dolan's Irish Pub & Grille, North of USF on Nov. 18, 2014, starting at 5:45 p.m.
Starting this fall, Urbanism on Tap organizers have moved north of Downtown Tampa to host a new Urbanism on Tap Series highlighting the "Role of Universities in Urban Design and Innovation'' and engage the University of South Florida (USF) community in the conversation.
Led by Urban Charrette and CNU Tampa Bay, Urbanism on Tap is a recurring open mic event, focused on generating constructive conversations within the community about current ideas and trends that are shaping our city.
Every event is open to the public, and moderators and attendees are invited to share their views and stories related to the topic of the day. The intention of the event is to generate a lively exchange of ideas, which will enhance our ability to make Tampa a more livable city.
The upcoming event, entitled "Town & Gown: Getting Along and Prospering," is the second discussion of a three-part series focused on the relationship between universities and their host cities.
In particular, the Nov. 18 event will look at how these traditional adversaries have become partners to spur development and model successful placemaking. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss various case studies of universities and cities from around the country that have collaborated to create prosperous and vibrant urban environments. They will also have the opportunity to share their experiences from their favorite university towns.
The discussion will then focus on how ideas from these case studies and experiences can be applied in Tampa to improve USF and its surrounding neighborhoods. Students, residents and neighborhood groups residing around the university area are encouraged to attend.
The event organizers encourage people to share their opinions on this topic by visiting Urbanism on Tap's Facebook page. People can also use the Facebook page and the
UOT website
to continue the conversation online, following the event.
Venue: PJ Dolan's Irish Pub & Grille, North of USF (2836 E Bearss Ave Tampa, FL 33613);
Date and Time: Nov. 18, 2014 from 5:45 p.m – 7:15 p.m

Goody Goody restaurant gets a new life
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Goody Goody things come to those who wait.
After a nine-year (on-and-off) quest, Richard Gonzmart is holder of the secret sauce recipe spread on hamburgers grilled at one of Tampa's most iconic dining spots - the Goody Goody restaurant.
He purchased rights to the Goody Goody name, the secret sauce and a few pieces of furniture, including the Goody Goody sign, from former owner Michael Wheeler.
Plans are to "restore the luster of its storied past," says Gonzmart, who is owner of the
restaurant on Tampa's Riverwalk and a fourth-generation co-owner of the Columbia Restaurant Group which includes the
Columbia Restaurant
in Ybor City.
A wrecking ball knocked down the Goody Goody restaurant on Florida Avenue one year after its closing in 2005, demolishing an 85-year-old landmark.
The restaurant opened in 1925 on Grand Central Avenue (now Kennedy Boulevard) and also later had a location in Seminole Heights next to a neighborhood movie house. In 1930 Goody Goody opened downtown at 1119 Florida Avenue. It was Tampa's first drive-in restaurant, with male car hops hustling delivery orders to customers who waited in their cars. As World War II began, female car hops, known as the "Goody Goody" girls, took over.
Inside, customers sat side by side in metal chairs and schoolroom desks. The Goody Goody brand got its start selling barbecue at "pig stands" in the Midwest.
Gonzmart is a long-time fan of Goody Goody hamburgers and its house made butterscotch pies. Leaving his office on Saturdays, he frequently phoned his pick-up orders for a bag of hamburgers with pickles, onions and secret sauce.
"They didn't know who I was or my connection to the Columbia," he says in a press release announcing the sale agreement. "But they knew my voice and my order."
Once a new location can be found, Gonzmart hopes to re-open Goody Goody sometime in 2015. If all goes well, he might consider additional Goody Goody locations.
"He's actively looking for a site," says Michael Kilgore, chief marketing officer for the Columbia Group. "It's premature to give much detail."
YMCA plans 3-pool aquatics center in South Tampa
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
South Tampa swimmers of all ages can get ready for a new aquatic experience with a choice of three swimming pools for fun and wellness.
Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA
will begin construction in November on the Carol Kennedy Aquatic Center at the South Tampa Family YMCA at 4411 S. Himes Ave. The center is named in memory of the daughter of David and Liz Kennedy who died in 1984. The Kennedys are long-time supporters of the YMCA and its mission.
The center's current pool, which is old and out-dated, will stay open during construction. Pending a capital fund-raising campaign, plans are to fill in the existing pool and expand the YMCA building.
The Carol Kennedy Aquatic Center will have a therapy pool, an activity pool with a focus on children, and a lap pool for families and training purposes. Construction costs are about $3.5 million. The center is expected to open in May 2015.
The YMCA offers a variety of aquatic fitness programs as well as swimming classes for adults and infants as young as six months. A 6-week IRS Self-Rescue course on survival swimming skills also is available for children age six months to four years.
One of the agency's priorities is drowning prevention. Florida annually has the highest number of drownings of children under the age of five.
The therapy pool will feature aquatic fitness classes and swim opportunities for seniors or people with disabilities, says Lalita Llerena, YMCA spokeswoman.
"(Aquatic exercise) is one of the softer opportunities for fitness," she says. "We're hoping to reach more active seniors with that."
For the YMCA 2014 has been an expansion year. Earlier this year a new, 11,500 square-foot gymnastics center opened on Ragg Road in Carrollwood as part of the
Bob Sierra YMCA Youth & Family Center
. Construction is under way on the first of three phases for the South Shore YMCA at Interstate 75 and Big Bend Road. The second phase is expected to include an aquatics center.
CSX terminal key to thousands of new jobs in Central Florida
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Polk County and the city of Winter Haven are beneficiaries of a transportation, logistics and distribution hub that could bring thousands of jobs to the area over the next five to 10 years.
The terminal for the CSX Central Florida Logistics Center in Winter Haven, which opened in April, is the first step in developing about 7.9 million square feet of warehouse, distribution and manufacturing facilities, all located on about 930 acres surrounding the
rail line. About 300,000 containers of goods will be processed annually from rail to truck or truck to rail with state-of-the-art technology.
Winter Haven Industrial Developers paid about $8.5 million for about 500 acres of the site, according to Polk County records. The remaining acreage will be part of a second phase of development.
About 30 employees oversee daily operations at the terminal which is a regional link to Tampa, Orlando and Miami, all within one-day truck trips from Winter Haven. CSX officials say they expect about 1,800 direct jobs and as many as 8,500 indirect jobs to be realized in the next decade.
The exact number of jobs will be tied to the kinds of businesses that locate around the terminal, says Bruce Lyon, executive director of the
Winter Haven Economic Development Council
. He places job estimates in the range of 4,000 to 8,000.
"We are as a city and county well prepared to embrace any new development that occurs on the site," says Lyon. "The labor force is ready."
He points to the educational opportunities for a trained work force including
Polk State College
, a few miles from the CSX terminal. There also is the
University of Central Florida
in Orlando, and according to Lyon, a sometimes overlooked fact that Winter Haven has an immense amount of broad-band capacity coveted by the logistics industry.
"The logistics industry is very advanced in terms of technology," Lyon says.
And overall the industry offers higher than average paying jobs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, logisticians' median annual salary in May 2012 was about $72,000 with the highest paid earning about $112,000 and and the lowest paid about $45,000.
Construction of the terminal took about two years and created about 200 jobs with the aid of Polk Works, the county's workforce development board.
The intermodal terminal is located on about 318 acres off State Road 60 at Logistics Boulevard. It has five 3,000-foot loading tracks and two 10,000-foot arrival and departure tracks. Three electric cranes load and unload containers.
"They are designed for noise reduction and are environmentally friendly," says CSX spokeswoman Kristin Seay. "It's huge. It's very efficient and uses the most advanced technology."
The containers carry goods from tee shirts to televisions, Seay says.
The terminal project is part of a legislatively-approved agreement in which the state of Florida paid about $432 million for about 60 miles of CSX tracks. The deal morphed through several years of negotiations and controversy over cost and the potential impact of increased freight traffic through cities such as Lakeland.
Proponents see the deal as an economic boost to the region and a crucial link in plans for a SunRail commuter line through Orlando along CSX tracks. The agreement required CSX to "reinvest every dime in infrastructure in Florida," says Seay.
Holiday Inn brings its brand to Westshore neighborhood in Tampa
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Holiday Inn
Tampa Westshore Airport is the newest hotel brand to cater to business travelers, families and local residents who want an upscale getaway in the heart of the city's largest business district.
West Shore is at the center of new residential and retail growth with new apartments, restaurants and shops along Boy Scout Road and Westshore Boulevard. It also is located near International Mall, Tampa International Airport and Interstate 275.
An $8 million renovation at the hotel, at 700 N. Westshore Blvd., features two new restaurants, Market Place Coffee Bar & Cafe and Bar 700 Grille & Lounge. Marketplace will sell grab-and-go snacks, sandwiches and specialty coffee. Bar 700 will offer dinners, specialty cocktails and craft beers.
The hotel is placing special emphasis on giving "foodies" a different and local flair in their dining and drinking options, says Holly Clifford, president of press marketing for Holiday Inn.
Craft beers from Ybor-based
Coppertail Brewing Co
., and pastries from
Pane Rustica Bakery & Cafe
in Palma Ceia will be included in menus at the bar and cafe.
"(The bar) is a much more high end look and feel," says Clifford. "It looks very today and modern."
The renovations also improve on other amenities such as arrival and welcome services, guest room comfort and a redesigned logo. The hotel has about 15,000 square feet of meeting space with a newly added ballroom.
General manager Pam Avery is chairwoman of the board for
Visit Tampa Bay
. "This has been a phenomenal year for tourism," she says.
That translates to a high occupancy rate for hotels including the Holiday Inn Tampa Westshore, which has 262 guest rooms.
The hotel initially began operation as an independent hotel under the name of Quorum. It also operated as the Wyndham. Quorum still owns and manages the hotel but is now a franchisee of Holiday Inn.
Avery says Holiday Inn is a well-known brand that many people grew up with but it has become much more modern and edgy. "We think it's a perfect fit for us," she says.
But there are some Quorum traditions that won't change.
Guests can still quench their thirst with fruit-infused water and grab a handful of M&Ms, peanut and plain, from dispensers.
Tampa General Hospital opens new food court; Prepares to build new hospital
Monday, October 20, 2014
Tampa General Hospital
is in the midst of expanding and renovating in major and minor ways from building a medical campus on Kennedy Boulevard to redesigning the hospital's main entrance and food court.
Hospital officials are nearing a construction start for a rehabilitation hospital on the site of the former Ferman Chevrolet automobile dealership at 1307 Kennedy Blvd. Tampa City Council is expected to give is final approval to the project on Nov. 6.
Chief Executive Officer Jim Burkhart says some design tweaking is under way but he anticipates announcing the project within the next month.
City records show the project will have a 150-bed professional and residential treatment center, a 100-room hotel or motel, 53,000 square feet of administrative offices, 100,000 square feet for medical uses and 15,000 square feet for an employee day care. There also is a free-standing garage. The campus is planned in phases.
Residents in North Hyde Park are eager to see the project completed and expect an influx of "new young people" who want to live in new condominiums or houses in the neighborhood, says Wesley Weissenburger of the
North Hyde Park Civic Association
. He spoke in favor of the hospital's proposal at a public hearing before city council on Oct. 9.
"People will come to North Hyde Park because of this facility," says Weissenburger. "This will bring people who will be working there. They will bring upgrades to our community and the value of our community will rise."
TGH also is celebrating the opening on Davis Islands of a new main entrance to the hospital's West Pavilion and improvements to an expanded food court.
"The entrance was not benefiting a world class organization like Tampa General Hospital," says John Brabson Jr., chairman of the hospital's board of directors, who spoke at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. "It's going to get great use. It's very, very practical the way it's designed."
The redesign by
Healy & Partners Architects
is the first since the former main entrance was built in 1986. Construction by
Barton Marlow
includes a new covered patient discharge and pickup area, a new patient discharge lounge in the main lobby and an enclosed valet station. About 250 vehicles a day drive up the main entrance.
The new food court, designed by
Alfonso Architects
, includes electronic and interactive menu screens that provide nutritional tips and calorie counts. The hospital serves up to four million meals a year to visitors, employees and patients.
Menus include healthy options such as vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Food venues include The Rotisserie which features chicken, ribs and sides; The Italian Grill with pizzas and regional dishes; and The Bayshore Grill with fried cod sandwiches and shrimp baskets.
Cost of the new main entrance is about $3.4 million. The food court cost about $2.3 million.
Recently TGH opened
Tampa General Medical Group
(TGMG) Family Care Center Trinity. This is the hospital's first primary care location in Pasco County. Another family care center is expected to open in Wesley Chapel early in 2015.
TGH also is in the midst of a $22 million, multiyear project to upgrade all of its operating rooms, says Burkhart.
"We have to operate and renovate and keep expanding space because it has to be refurbished about every five to seven years," he says. "You're just constantly doing it."
21-story apartment building to rise on Harbour Island in downtown Tampa
Thursday, October 09, 2014
By the end of October construction on a 21-story upscale residential tower on Harbour Island will begin on a prime parcel of land at Knights Run Avenue and South Beneficial Drive.
Completion is anticipated by early 2016 on 235 luxury studios, 1-and 2-bedroom apartments and 2-story townhomes. The building will have a seven-story parking garage with more than 400 parking spaces.
The tower is a partnership between
Forge Capital Partners
and Intown/Framework Group.
Greg Minder of
Framework Group
and Phillip A. Smith of Intown Group are developers of Element and Skypoint in downtown, and Meridian Lofts in the Channel District. And construction is under way on 4310 Spruce and
, both in the Westshore Business District.
Minder and Smith also are partners in The Residences at Riverwalk, a proposed 36-story, 380-unit apartment building next to the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. A parking garage and about 10,000 square feet of first-floor shops and restaurants also are planned.
Developers have yet to choose a name for the latest Harbour Island tower. County records show Harbour Island Residential LLC purchased the vacant parcel in December for about $2.9 million.
"Harbour Island epitomizes a high-end, master-planned community," says Minder in a prepared statement. "The addition of this modern apartment building brings new excitement and renewed interest to this thriving community."
Most apartments will enjoy scenic vistas of the waterfront and downtown. An infinity-edge pool, state-of-the-art technology and upscale amenities comparable to those provided at luxury hotels will be included in the building's design.
Other partners in the project are
BBVA Compass
, a bank holding company;
Reese Vanderbilt & Associates
, architects;
Kimley-Horn and Associates
, civil and landscaping engineers; and Multi-Family Construction, general contractor and an affiliate of
Batson-Cook Residential
myMatrixx relocates corporate offices in Tampa, adds 200 jobs
Tuesday, October 07, 2014
With plans to double its workforce in the next three to five years,
will nearly triple the size of its corporate headquarters by relocating to Tampa Bay Park's office complex within the orbit of the Westshore Business District.
The Tampa-based pharmacy and ancillary benefits management company specializes in workmen's compensation claims. Its employees currently work in about 18,000 square feet of office space at a business complex at Benjamin Center Drive in Town N' Country.
In the first quarter of 2015, myMatrixx will relocate to about 48,000 square feet on the top two floors of the remodeled LakePointe Two building at Tampa Bay Park which is managed by North Carolina-based
Highwoods Properties
. The new space will include open work stations, collaboration areas, an on-site fitness center, cafe and waterfront deck.
With nearly 200 employees currently, company officials anticipate doubling that number to about 400 employees within three to five years.
Revenues for the company have increased about 25 percent in recent years, and that rate could accelerate, company officials say.
"A Class A facility is a must to help us keep our exceptional employee base and to fill current job openings," says myMatrixx President Artemis Emslie.
Available jobs include positions in customer services, marketing, health care and senior vice president. Business Insurance Magazine has ranked myMatrixx as one of its "Best Places to Work" for the last three years.
LakePointe Two is an eight-story building with about 223,000 square feet of office space. It is one of seven buildings at Tampa Bay Park, located at the intersection of Himes Avenue and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The site puts myMatrixx in proximity not only to Westshore's business district but also to Tampa International Airport and downtown. The new headquarters also are located outside a hurricane or flood evacuation zone.
"We're about to get all our employees centrally located," says Chris Callison, the company's corporate content manager. "We want our clients to be able to fly into the airport and easily access our site."
Studio Movie Grill lights up screens at University Mall
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Studio Movie Grill is bringing "dinner and a movie" to University Mall with its brand of in-theater dining coupled with first-run and alternative movies.
The 14-screen movie house will open Oct. 22 in the renovated theater space vacated last year by Frank Theatres. Previously Regal 16 operated at the venue.
University Mall
is the 18th location nationwide for the Dallas-based chain and its first in Florida.
The University area, in close proximity to the
University of South Florida
, offers an opportunity for a ready audience of students who can hop on the Bull Runner shuttle for a free ride to the mall. But
Studio Movie Grill
also sees opportunities to play a role in increasing the mall's overall customer base and the future growth of the University area.
"We really do look to bring economic development and impact to an area," says Lynne McQuaker, director of alternative programming, public relations and outreach for SMG. "This was an area that met that because the impact will be extra foot traffic."
The concept of restaurant-style dining at a movie theater isn't new.
There is Cine Bistro at Hyde Park Village and Grove 16 in Wesley Chapel and Villagio Cinemas at Carrollwood.
But Studio Movie Grill has its own style.
There is 100 percent reserved seating with comfy armchairs and individual dining tables. McQuaker says that eliminates waiting in line even for such anticipated blockbusters as the next installment of "Hunger Games."
Ticket holders are asked to arrive 20 minutes early to place food orders. But service doesn't end when the movie starts. A red call-button at each seat puts a server a tap away from new orders.
Studio Movie Grill will feature a contemporary look and a full-bar and lounge with daily specials, signature cocktails and micro-brews. Its menu features appetizers, such as edamame, and entrees, such as gourmet pizzas, ceviche lettuce wraps, salads, turkey burgers and chicken nachos.
The 14 screens will show first-run movies. But there also will be alternative programming, often at discounted prices, including a summer children's series, girls' and guys' nights out, independent films, special film series, documentaries and concerts. And a Family Rewind will bring back movies from the past.
Studio Movie Grill also plans sensory-friendly screenings for special needs children including children diagnosed with autism. Theater lights will stay on, sound will be lowered and children will be free to move around the auditorium.
Vegan dining will be "Delicious Surprise" in Seminole Heights
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Michelle Ehrlich has a "
Delicious Surprise
" in store for Seminole Heights.
By mid-November she plans to open "Delicious (food for thought) Surprise," her plant-based, vegan restaurant at 5921 N. Nebraska Ave. She and husband Howard are sprucing up a building adjacent to the Publix grocery store. The vacant building has been home over the years to an appliance store, a sandwich shop and most recently a pizzeria.
When it comes to the menu, Ehrlich doesn't want anyone to think of digging into a plate of lettuce and sprouts. She's out to break down misconceptions about vegan dining.
Look for pizzas, burgers and anything else on a typical restaurant menu. But there also will be a few unexpected choices, such as tropical quinoa salad, drunk chai French toast and black-eyed pea sausage with kale and white bean gravy. The made-from-scratch menu items will feature local, organic food and produce.
"We'll be making healthy plant-based versions of these," says Ehrlich who lives in Seminole Heights and has watched the neighborhood become a destination for restaurants and bars such as
Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe
The Refinery
The Mermaid Tavern
. "We want to offer delicious food for our community. We hope to be the ones to break the barriers (on vegan). There is a demand for this."
Ehrlich got a hint of that demand at a plant-based Bites in the Heights "pop-up" brunch in August when about 50 people showed up at a local business co-op to sample her dishes. She had planned two more "pop-up" events to test-market her restaurant concept but the pizzeria shop suddenly came on the market.
It was a chance too good to pass up so now her energies are in opening "Delicious Surprise." Ehrlich will be a vendor at the Nov. 2 "Taste of the Heights", serving up food samples within a couple weeks of the restaurant's opening.
Ehrlich and her husband eased into the vegan life-style about three years ago simply by trying to eat healthy and over time eliminating less healthy options. And then a co-worker at her husband's office asked if Michelle would cook lunches for her like those she made for her husband.
Within six weeks, she had a waiting list of clients, all from word of mouth and no marketing. "I think I've found my niche," Ehrlich says.
Word of mouth via social media is spreading the news about "Delicious Surprise." There is a Facebook page. And she is raising part of her capital through crowd-sourcing on gofundme.
While the majority of donors appear to be local residents, Ehrlich says people from Orlando and Bradenton also have responded. "I feel like they have ownership now," she says. "The loyalty of folk, that's what I'm more emotional about. It's been wonderful."
Bourgeois Pig opens soon in Seminole Heights
Tuesday, September 23, 2014
Seminole Heights is adding yet another restaurant to its cornucopia of dining choices. But The Bourgeois Pig will be a stand-out on North Nebraska Avenue.
Owners Lysa and Mike Bozel are settling into a converted bungalow well north of Hillsborough Avenue on a stretch of Nebraska dotted with motels, tire shops and pawn shops. Though Seminole Heights has been transformed in recent years into a destination place, new shops and especially its restaurants largely have populated Nebraska and Florida Avenue, south of Hillsborough.
Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe
Reservations Gourmet to Go
The Refinery
Cappy's Pizza
The Rooster and the Till
is a rarity with a north of Hillsborough spot on Florida along with long-time restaurants,
Front Porch Grille
. and Rincon Catracho.
The Mermaid Tavern
is just south of Sligh Avenue. And the Refinery's owners, Michelle and Greg Baker, are building a new, north-of-Hillsborough restaurant -- Fodder & Shine -- on Florida.
But the Bozels will be at the farthest outpost of the neighborhood, just shy of the boundary with the Hillsborough River and Sulphur Springs. They are pushing beyond Sligh following the loss by fire last year of Domani Bistro Lounge.
"We believe in this community," says Lysa Bozel. "We purchased this building to make it a landmark in the area. We were really pioneers of this part of the neighborhood."
Many long-time residents believe the Bozels' restaurant is the spark that could bring more retail and restaurants to this end of Nebraska.
"It can be the genesis for a complete redevelopment," says resident Randy Baron, who spoke in support of the Bozels's request for sales of beer, wine and liquor. "It is being done by local owners who have put a lot of resources into this. It is a beautiful building."
The Bozels are converting a bungalow, at 7701 N. Nebraska, into a "Bohemian chic" style restaurant open seven days a week with closing times of midnight on Sunday through Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. The couple, who live within walking distance of their restaurant, opted against a 3 a.m. closing though that would be allowed under city code.
"We do not want this to turn into South Howard," says Baron referencing the on-going conflicts in South Tampa between bar owners and nearby residents.
A search is under way for a head chef and kitchen staff but Lysa Bozel says an opening is planned for late October or early November. Tampa City Council is expected to approve beer, wine and liquor sales on Oct. 2.
The menu will be eclectic with items such as fish tacos, steak, wraps, salads and sandwiches. Diners will have indoor and outdoor options for seating in the main dining room, wrap-around porch and patio. Some on-site parking will be available but valet services also will be provided.
And The Bourgeois Pig will be dog-friendly with little couches and food bowls.
"We really feel it's going to be amazing," says Lysa Bozel. "We've had enormous support from the entire neighborhood."
Atlanta developer to build apartments on North Franklin Street
Tuesday, September 23, 2014
North Franklin Street just found a new resident -- Atlanta-based
Carter & Associates
The development company plans to build a 23-story apartment building and garage on two parcels at 911 and 915 N. Franklin St. A rezoning application is under review by the city's planning department.
If approved, construction could begin in the first half of 2015.
"We've been eyeing the Tampa market for awhile," says Conor McNally, chief development officer for Carter & Associates. McNally formerly worked for the Novare Group, another Atlanta firm that developed the
condominium building on Ashley Drive.
"It's looking good from a jobs perspective...Downtown is getting some good momentum back," McNally says. "We like being within walking distance to the river and arts and downtown offices."
While too early to discuss monthly apartment rates, McNally says the luxury apartments will be on par with others in the area including the nearby
This latest project follows a list of announcements in the past year for new apartments and retail in downtown and the Channel District. And, the recent openings of
Le Meridian
hotels are adding to downtown's allure.
The project from Carter & Associates could be the stage-setter for more to come. The firm is under contract to buy the property from Kress Square IV LLC, which is owned by father and daughter,
Doran Jason
Jeannette Jason
. They also own the iconic S.H. Kress building at 811 N. Franklin St., which is still awaiting a development deal.
"I think this is sending a signal that the North Franklin area is primed for what I think will be an explosion of projects," says Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "The time is right. I'm ecstatic."
McNally sees a strong market for apartments over condominiums generally but especially in Tampa, which is among the fastest growing cities in Florida.
"People want to be in urban areas," he says but they also want mobility. And many still have fresh memories of the market downturn in 2008 which has made it more difficult to get financing for condos, he adds.
"People were left high and dry," McNally says. "The 25-,27-,29-year olds, they can't tell you where they are going to be in five or 10 years down the road."
Walmart in East Tampa to create 300 jobs
Tuesday, September 23, 2014
A Walmart Supercenter will generate about 300 permanent jobs and a new revenue stream for the city's East Tampa redevelopment efforts.
The supercenter is under construction at 1720 E. Hillsborough Ave. on the approximately 12-acre site of the former Abraham Chevrolet dealership. It has been a neighborhood blight for nearly a decade. County records show
paid about $4.9 million for the property.
A grand opening for the national discount chain is expected in spring 2015.
"This is such a win-win for East Tampa," says Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, who attended a groundbreaking with Walmart officials and Tampa City Councilman Frank Reddick. "This has been a food desert for a long time. Folks in East Tampa have had to rely on convenience stores and getting charged exorbitant prices for food that's not necessarily healthy."
Now the mayor says there will be an alternative that residents can reach by walking or taking public transportation. And the jobs will "give economic security to people who need it," the mayor says.
Already Walmart officials say about 150 local, temporary jobs are expected during construction. These will be from local sub-contractors and some additional labor needed as the work proceeds.
The approximately 120,000-square-foot store is somewhat smaller than most supercenters but it will offer groceries, including fresh produce, meats, deli items and bakery goods, plus merchandise typically sold at the discount chain store. There also will be a discount pharmacy with a drive-up window.
Eco-friendly building practices will be followed by the project's contractor,
Satterfield & Pontikes Construction
. "The buildings that have been torn down will be (reused) to lay the foundation for the parking lot," says Glen Wilkins, Walmart's senior manager for public affairs and government relations.
Water recycling and mulching of removed trees also will be done.
While Walmart sometimes draws spirited criticism from people who say it hurts small businesses, many in East Tampa hope this project, and its tax revenues, spurs more development.
"We've been asking for this for many, many years," Reddick says. "It's not every day we get a major business to come into this community. Now that we have it we're going to have to support it. We're going to have to tell our friends and neighbors that this is a valuable product for our community."
A portion of property tax revenues collected within East Tampa must be re-invested in infrastructure projects that will encourage new investments. The district is bordered by Hillsborough Avenue, Interstates 275 and 4, and the city limit. In its best year, the district had about $6 million to spend.
After the real estate crash and plummeting property values, the coffers are now drained. The new supercenter will open the spigot again. A Walmart store on Gandy Boulevard offers a comparison for potential East Tampa property tax revenues
County property appraisal records show the Gandy site is valued at about $8.6 million and generated about $183,000 in property taxes for 2013. The Hillsborough site is valued at about $1.7 million and its previous owner paid about $40,000 in property taxes for 2013.
"This will be an amazing transformation of what had been an eyesore," says Buckhorn. "Let's get this on the tax rolls. Let's go dig some dirt."
Florida Crystals Corp. plans luxury apartments in Channel District
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
It's a sweet deal in the Channel District.
Sugar company,
Florida Crystals Corp
., is buying a prime spot in this upscale booming neighborhood to build a 7-story, 270-unit luxury apartment building and six-and-a-half story parking garage. The company, which last year launched a real estate division, paid about $3.8 million for three parcels at 222 N. 12th St., 215 and 217 N. 11th St., next to The Slade.
The property, at close to two acres, includes two vacant warehouse structures which will be torn down. It is the former site of the Amazon Hose and Rubber Company.
This is one more project added to recent and planned residential towers including the
SkyHouse Channelside
which is under construction and
The Martin at Meridian
, which is on the drawing board. And, there is anticipation over Tampa Lightning owner Jeff Vinik's plans to revive the distressed Channelside Plaza as well as develop other parcels he has bought in the area.
"The transformation that has happened since 2000 has been pretty amazing," says Sean Lance, managing director of
NAI Tampa Bay
, a commercial real estate company. The firm represents the seller,
Finergy Group of Sarasota
Lance anticipates apartment rents will be about $1.80 to $2 a square foot, based on unit sizes of between 900 to 1,000 square feet.
Florida Crystals, which is based in West Palm Beach, is a family-owned business that traces back to Cuba in the 1850s. It sells sugar products under several brands including Domino and Florida Crystals.
This is the company's first Tampa project but Juan Porro, VP of real estate and acquisitions, is the former president of Cobalt Development Group which developed The Slade, one of the Channel District's earliest residential projects.
Tampa City Council will weigh in on the project at a rezoning hearing scheduled for Nov. 13. Finergy Channelside Holdings LLC is seeking a unified commercial zoning for the trio of parcels.
The recession temporarily stalled residential and commercial development in Channel District . But with the recovery under way, there is a pent up demand especially among millennials and boomers who want a walkable urban lifestyle, Lance says.
Residential towers, high-rise and mid-rise, are filling up and sites for additional projects growing scarcer. "It's pretty picked through now," Lance says. "You could get creative and pick another site or two."
Prospects for additional retail, maybe a rumored Publix grocery store or CVS Pharmacy, also are brightening. "As you get the body count, you'll see more retailers," he says.
Tampa reveals vision for re-designed Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
The 25-acre grasslands of
Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park
are dotted with berms that recall ancient Indian mounds, a concrete "Greek-style" amphitheater, basketball and tennis courts and a Boys & Girls Club. But for most people who visit the park one spectacular view is missing -- the Hillsborough River.
It is blocked from view except to those who almost by accident wander over to its shores.
Susan Lane, daughter of former Mayor Julian B. Lane, is among those who had no idea what an unfulfilled treasure the park is. "I guess they thought this was a good design," she says after taking her first walk down to the park's shoreline.
She likes the city's plan to re-design the more than 40-year-old public park by tossing out much of what in the 1970s was considered contemporary and cutting-edge.
At a press conference, Mayor Bob Buckhorn unveiled a multi-year, conceptual plan to transform the park. It is a blueprint crafted from ideas and opinions gathered at a series of public meetings attended by about 350 residents. The next step is for consultants with Colorado-based
to take the plan from concept to detailed drawings. About $8 million is set aside by the city to seed the project. Final costs are unknown but could be $20 million or more.
"This is an opportunity that is too great to pass up," Buckhorn says. "We have a moral obligation to do it and do it big and do it right."
The park, at 1001 North Blvd., is a jewel in the city's 25-year InVision Tampa master plan to re-invent downtown as an urban village with connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods on both sides of the river. On the west bank more than 150 acres, including Riverfront Park, are targeted for redevelopment. The nearby North Boulevard Homes are slated to be torn down by the Tampa Housing Authority and replaced with a mixed-income, mixed-use complex similar to the Encore project under construction just north of downtown.
Dozens of ideas bubbled up during public discussions of desired park amenities including a ferris wheel, a beach area, picnic facilities, boating docks and a history walk. Not all are on the final list. But if the final proposal doesn't please everyone, city officials believe it does meet with approval from most residents.
"What we have is the future of the city of Tampa right here," says Rev. James Favorite, pastor at
Beulah Baptist Institutional Church,
located on Cypress Street, a short walk from the park. "My church members have used this park on many occasions. With all the improvements to be made, I like the concept. I like the vision. I like the inclusion of so many people. We feel we are a part of this. We feel ownership."
The new park will include a great lawn for special events and festivals; a play area with a splash pad; a history walk to honor Phillips Field, Roberts City and surrounding neighborhoods; a community center and public boathouse; a garden; an oak-lined promenade; a half-mile trail with exercise stations; an extension of the city's Riverwalk; a fishing area; and a paddle learning area created by a floating boat dock.
Additional parking also will be carved out by re-aligning and shifting Laurel Street. A multi-use field will be enlarged to regulation size and seating installed. New basketball courts will be built. Tennis courts will be renovated and sand volleyball courts added.
The berms and amphitheater will be razed.
Making the park all about families and recognizing the area's history are the driving motivators that emerged from the public meetings, says Civitas' President Mark Johnson.
And picnic areas are the most desired feature. "That's not the most common thing I hear around the country," Johnson says.
Lane remembers her father's stories about being captain of the Hillsborough High School football team which played annual Thanksgiving Day games at Phillips Field. He served as mayor from 1959 to 1963 and worked with a Bi-Racial Committee to peacefully integrate Tampa's businesses following the lunch counter sit-ins at F.W. Woolworth's. The park was dedicated to him in 1977.
The city's proposed makeover, she says, "is a great, great idea. He (former Mayor Lane) would have been real pleased."
