This has been a staple paper in my community. It's a go-to newspaper that highlights what's…read morehappening or has happened around our neighborhoods in the Tampa Bay Area. For decades, the paper has captured a lot of African American historical information and images. I grew up with this paper and even appeared in the paper a few times.

The Florida Sentinel Bulletin is a twice-weekly community newspaper serving Tampa's African…read moreAmerican community. According to the paper's website it is the only African American publication in Florida that prints twice weekly and owns all its own printing equipment. The paper originally operated in Jacksonville, Florida In 1919 before closing during the Great Depression. It was reopened as a weekly by the son of the owner of that paper, C. Blythe Andrews, in Tampa in December, 1945 at 1511 Central Avenue. The Tampa Bulletin was purchased in 1959 and became twice weekly. In 1962 the paper moved to its current location of 2207 East 21st Avenue. It seems to be distributed mostly around the Sulphur Springs area of Tampa and I have not seen it much elsewhere. I would describe it as old school. Here's the paper's website: http://flsentinel.com/

SUBAP! (short for Suburban Apologist, I assume meant ironically?) is a a music, arts and…read moreentertainment publication in Tampa Florida. The first issue emerged in 2015 and includes funky art and design, coverage of Tampa's music scene, Seminole Heights, and the publication's roots including its lineage and heritage back to REAX, a 40 issue publication which flowed from a similar artistic and rollicking spring. Contributors include various movers, shakers, artists, photographers and journalistas. Funk irreverant, fannish, fadish, flaming, furious, passionate, and flamboyant, SUBAP! is an emergent periodical tapping the burgeoning music and arts scene in Tampa. Hopefully they will delve into fashion as well. I like to look good. Free. It is worth every penny. The website is subap.com and the events page is subapcal.com (as in cal for calender).

No paper this Sunday. Ok that happens so called TBT and 5 min in was disconnected. Of course the…read moreAutomated system could not recognize my account. Finally after 40 min on hold (2nd attempt) Was able to speak to a live real person who said the paper would be delivered within two hours. It is embarrassing, unprofessional and reeks of incompetence that this is the best TBT can do a a major player in communication industry. If not for the advertising and coupons would drop this liberal rag in a NY minute.

I had been a previous customer of the Tampa Bay Times and was interested in starting up the…read moredelivery service again. I went through the website and completed all of the required information and made my payment. I had signed up for the Sunday delivery and the web based e-paper. The next day I log into the account and there is no e-paper to view. So I contact Tampabay Times for assistance and I was told I could only view the e-paper on the first day of the physical paper delivery. Which already sounds weird. So I confirmed with two different folks you can only log into the website and see the e-paper following the first physical delivery of a newspaper at my house. But hey I wasn't frustrated so I waited until Sunday for the physical paper delivery which never occurred. AND there is still no e-paper available to view. Mind you, I had already set-up the account and received confirmation from Tampa Bay Times that it was approved, charged and scheduled. I called the customer support number and got a voicemail on Sunday to notify them I did not receive the paper and still can't see it online. No-one to talk to. On the following Monday I receive an email from Jake Baker explaining they CANNOT deliver to my address. Their database was not updated so the website allowed the account to be set-up even though they cannot deliver to my house. Which for years was in the delivery range. It took a week from signing up to have this discussion. I explained I just wanted the delivery of the paper and didn't really care about the day old news I can get from a dozen other sites for free. So I asked them to refund my payment. They agreed. Here is the kicker....My initial payment was for $10.21 for the first month. $5.00 for the monthly payment and a set-up fee. I was offered and received a $5.00 refund for the service but not for the set-up fee. WHAT???? The Tampa Bay Times refused to set up the account as it was no longer in their delivery range; yet you charged me for the processing of the account I cannot use? Unbelievable. This is the most unethical company I have come across in a long time. A company that preaches about accuracy and honestly of what they report. Maybe the crooked billing department could use a refresher course in common decency and not taking advantage of the public for a few bucks. In short, I still ended up paying $6.21 to have Tampa Bay Times set-up an account they denied, that cannot be used and there is no reimbursement. Will never do business with this company again. Best of luck competing against the digital news networks. Your time as a reporting agency is quickly coming to an end.

Best Magazine Ministry ever !!!!! This is a ABSOLUTELY…read moreFREE SERVICE to our community.They are Christian Ministry that has a constantly hurting budget because they are always extending there hand to the public .The advisor gives FREE MOVIE TICKETS AND TRINKETS to anybody from all walks of life with-out discriminating and with a smile full of love. You don't have to buy a thing.However you do have to be informed as to ease the burden of the complications that can arrive from ignorance such as the other reviews . Before we do anything we get informed/prepared by calling first.This way we don't waste energy, time or tickets.We wouldn't want to rob someone else's blessings by not doing so. There are many happy people ("customers") who depend on this Ministry especially in this economy , to provide them with the only form of outlet for the family. Including ours.Even if the Costumer service was lousy WHICH IT'S NOT your complaining about a FREE SERVICE!!!I I don't know of any place else or anybody else who will pay for our family and friends to go out to the movies on a regular basis.Do you? If anything we all should donate to this unique company to help them help us and become a stronger force in our community.It's a sad place to be in when we become ungrateful,greedy, and demanding.They deserve nothing less than support ,gratefulness and compliments. NOT complaints and degrading. Although you don't need to buy we buy a 50 cent bag of chips or whatever is the cheapest FOR OUR CONVENIENCE THE DAY BEFORE just to get a receipt.So the next day I just SHOW them THE RECEIPT and get in and out immediately with trinkets and tickets in hand.The theater's vary based of the movies,etc.......... ASK,ASK,ASK, ALWAYS ASK FIRST!!! Thank you advisor for all you've done and will do.It is (you are) truly a blessing to our family as well as many others.Regardless of the wrongfully posted negative reviews most folks appreciate your Ministries mission. let's not spoil the great intentions with a few bad apples.It's not the advisor's fault.SEE AND HEAR for yourself THE HAPPY FACES AND POSITIVE STORIES before you pass judgment.Besides no ones perfect. Like all other free services it is first come first serve so get your game face on and make the best of it .IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!! Enjoy the fruits and God bless all.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. They have a wide collection of books, movies, music, stickers, posters, I love…read moreit. The employees there are always so nice and helpful, their cafe has great drinks and treats (my personal favorite is their rose chai with pistachio milk, have to buy it every time) they are my local book store so it's very convenient if I want to add more books to my tbr corner . The only downside is they don't have all the books in the world, the books and music that are available are the only ones available. But that's totally fine because you can always browse and discover more authors and genres that they have available. 11/10 will recommend this place, it's like my very own heaven. AND TIP YOUR BARISTAS!!!

Air-conditioned! Thankfully, considering the intense heat on this side of FL…read more Good stock - a good selection of new and used books and vinyl. Definitely have everything a new collector might want but may not have the deep cuts a long-time collector (like me) would be looking to purchase. Prices - a tad high. But I expected that considering I'm in a metropolitan area. Their rent is probably super high, but I don't mind paying an extra $2-3 per book to keep an independent store open. Regarding those deep cuts: - I did find some authors that I think are often overlooked, including Richard K. Morgan, Chuck Tingle, and Ann Leckie. - I was saddened to see that there was no Ronald Malfi in stock, which I find to be a mainstay in horror. - There was no Between the Buried and Me vinyl in stock, which saddens me due to concert tonight (that's why I drove all the way to this coast). Rating - 4.2/5.0
