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/

When I called The Florida Sentinel the person I spoke with was very kind. She was also familiar with my request and walked me through the process. She provided me with all the information I needed before going into the office to place the ad so I was well prepared. Because of this the process did not take long. The staff is very polite and knowledgeable.

Outstanding customer service and the price is very agreeable. Thank you for sharing your furniture…read morewith me.

Unethical Billing Practices - Beware of No-Refund Policy on Small Orders…read more I recently placed an online order for a product from the Tampa Bay Times website. A few hours later, I changed my mind and canceled the order. I called customer service to confirm the cancellation, and they assured me it was processed and canceled. However, when I followed up to request a refund for the item I never used nor would use I was told that the company has a policy of no refunds on any purchase under $10. The charge was under that amount, so they kept my money despite the order being canceled and before I was using it. This feels like outright stealing. How can a reputable company justify keeping payment for a product or service that was cancelled, simply because the amount is small? It's fraudulent and predatory. Potential customers should be warned: if you place any order under $10 and need to cancel--even hours later and with confirmation--you will not get your money back. I've never encountered this policy at any other legitimate online retailer. It's completely unheard of and leaves a terrible impression of the Tampa Bay Times/Times Publishing Co. Very disappointed and will not do business with them again.

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.

The Osprey Observer started publishing as a newsletter in 2001. The main focus was to cover community news and activities specifically in FishHawk Ranch. After the first month, residents started requesting more news from the surrounding community and we started to expand. We added the subdivision of FishHawk Trails, River Hills and Bloomingdale within the first four months and were printing more than 10,000 copies per month after only six months. Quickly we realized there could be unlimited growth to the paper and we had to strive to maintain a focus. What did we want to become? What continued to set us apart from the rest? The response is content. We are different because our stories cover the communities we are in. We wanted to maintain our reputation as a strong community newspaper despite our desire to grow. Our first goal was to identify 15,000 homes to include in the Bloomingdale/FishHawk edition and then to expand after 18 months into a completely new edition, Riverview. The Riverview edition started with eight pages and 10,000 homes and is now 36 pages delivered to 16,500 homes in Riverview and Apollo Beach.
