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 Dade City this morning as part of our biweekly community show. During our visit, we tried out local restaurants, learned about the history and checked out the local art scene. We love connecting with all different communities in Tampa Bay, and who knows, maybe we'll come to your neighborhood next.
Good Morning Tampa Bay is streaming NOW through 10 a.m. Watch for free on your favorite mobile and streaming TV platforms.
