Starting today in Tampa, your water may smell and taste a little different. The Tampa Water Department says it’s because of a temporary change to the disinfection process, and may last through Oct. 7th.

The University of Tampa has announced a slight name change. Instead of the familiar “UT” it will now be nicknamed “UTampa.” UTampa President Teresa Abi-Nader Dahlberg wants to set the university apart from many other schools known as UT. The name change also comes with new logos.

Another Tampa restaurant has closed. Harold Seltzer’s Steakhouse, which began as Sam Seltzer’s, closed for good at the end of the month last month.
