Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
It's Friday, which means we've nearly made it through the week. To celebrate, our Good Morning Tampa Bay crew hit the road to explore Bradenton this morning as part of our community show. We learned all about the area's history, stopped by some local attractions, and spoke to residents about what it's like to live there. We love connecting with all different communities in Tampa Bay, and who knows, maybe we'll come to your neighborhood next.
