Great Things Tampa Bay - Food and Fun in the Tampa Bay Area
After a significant milestone (or time in this case), it's important to take a look back and see all the great places and people we've talked about. Of the great restaurants and fun times discussed throughout Tampa Bay, which ones still hold up? Is the relish tray at Beachcombers still as delicious? Is Vesuvio at Bella's Cafe still the mindblowing dessert it was? Is the Strawberry Festival better than the Florida State fair? We also mourn the loss of some of our favorites dineries throughout Tampa Bay. Whether pandemic took them down, or simply they moved on to better things.

info_outlineDoes Great Things Tampa Bay write paid puff pieces?
Common wisdom is that if you don't have haters, you're not trying hard enough. I've now gotten a few pieces of hate mail, and thought I'd address one them directly.
Plenty of publications and media outlets do them... but does Great Things Tampa Bay take payment for favorable reviews of restaurants, events, or to conduct interviews and highlight local businesses and charities?
And what do you think? Is there anything wrong with doing paid stories? Many say it's ok as long as you state up front that you are being paid for it.
So what do you think? Paid puff pieces ok?
