Alright Tampa, here's the deal. This week starts off feeling like summer forgot to leave and ends with a cold snap that's going to have everyone digging through their closets for that one hoodie they own. In between? A $15 concert with Chris Tomlin, Blue Oyster Cult playing Busch Gardens for free, a speakeasy most people don't know exists, and a Dubai-style croissant spot in Temple Terrace that you need to get to before everyone else figures it out. Let me walk you through it.
