TAMPA, Fla. — Good morning from the ABC Action 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 Safety Harbor for our biweekly community show. Tucked along the west shore of Tampa Bay, Safety Harbor is a straight shot from downtown Tampa about a 30-minute drive across the County Campbell Causeway. With a population of just under 20,000, it’s small, cozy, and community proud.
