BARTOW, Fla. — Get ready for your close-up, Bartow!
This Friday, starting at 6am, Tampa Bay 28's "Good Morning Tampa Bay" show — including anchor Deiah Riley and reporter Sean Daly — will bring its Community Show series to Bartow.
Nicknamed "The City of Oaks and Azaleas," this Polk County gem is an absolute charmer, with murals galore, a picturesque downtown and great cuisine.

Trish Pfeiffer, Bartow city commissioner, says her town is famous for its hospitality and civic pride — two big reasons why Tampa Bay 28 is making the trip.
"People come here, or they move here, and they say the people are so friendly, and I believe that's true," says Trish. "We take that to heart, and we love making people feel welcome here in our city."
