Monday was a big day for St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch, and the Tampa Bay Rays came out the biggest winners as a result.
Welch announced Monday during his State of the City he had selected the Hines/Tampa Bay Rays proposal to redevelop Tropicana Field, setting the Major League Baseball team up to be lead developers on their own new stadium, and setting up what may be the city’s best chance at retaining baseball within its boundaries.
Not having a good week is the Tampa Bay food scene. For the second year, no local restaurant landed a James Beard Award.
