Downtown Tampa’s next major waterfront district is officially moving forward.

Related Group will break ground June 17 on Manor Riverwalk, a 24-story apartment tower planned for the west bank of the Hillsborough River.

The tower will include 369 apartments and an elevated amenity deck spanning nearly half an acre, becoming the first of five planned towers in Related’s 6-acre Riverwalk District.

The larger project is expected to include three rental towers, one condo tower, a boutique apartment building, 37,000 square feet of street-level retail, an 805-space parking garage, boat slips, a kayak launch, a Riverwalk underpass, and a direct connection to the West Riverwalk Expansion.

Related also plans to rework Parker Street into a pedestrian-friendly woonerf with about 18,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, strengthening the link between downtown Tampa, Hyde Park, the University of Tampa, and the Riverwalk.

While filming a pivotal moment from A Land Remembered, production was nearly shut down by an unexpected torrential downpour. Instead, the rain transformed the location into exactly what the story needed, turning a planned special effects setup into a real swamp and creating a scene the crew could never have replicated on their own.

Todd Wiseman Jr. is an American filmmaker and producer currently bringing Patrick D. Smith’s best-selling novel A Land Remembered to the screen.

A new episode is out now with Todd Wiseman Jr., Florida filmmaker, entrepreneur, and showrunner behind the upcoming adaptation of A Land Remembered.

Todd shares the story of how he acquired the rights to one of Florida’s most beloved novels after decades of failed attempts by others to bring it to the screen. What began as a reread of the book while living in New York turned into a mission to finally tell Florida’s story on a larger stage.

We discuss the challenges of adapting A Land Remembered, why Florida’s history deserves a national audience, and how independent filmmaking is creating new opportunities to produce major projects outside of Hollywood. Todd also shares his vision for building a sustainable film industry in Florida and why this project could become much more than just a television series.

Are parking tickets getting out of hand?

It’s understandable to get a ticket if you park somewhere for a few hours and don’t pay, but if you’re only there for a few minutes, or you overstay your paid time by a couple of minutes, should you really be ticketed?

Tom recently testified before Congress about Live Nation and Ticketmaster, just weeks after a Manhattan jury found the company guilty of operating an illegal monopoly.
