Whatever happened to the Trump Tower Tampa site and other big projects?
A 35-story apartment tower in downtown St. Petersburg. Two huge new communities with sunset views of Old Tampa Bay. A 52-story tower overlooking Tampa’s Riverwalk.
If you haven’t heard much about these lately, it’s because not much is happening — at least not yet.
While a $2 billion redo of Tampa’s Channel District and other mega projects are underway, others have yet to get out of the ground. That’s partly the nature of the projects themselves and partly the nature of development in general, especially as another boom begins to show hints of a slowdown.

Donald Trump’s Week of Misrepresentations, Exaggerations and Half-Truths
As August ended, a new Donald Trump emerged. Coached by his third campaign management team, he stayed on message, read from a teleprompter and focused on policy. It lasted about a month.

'New York Times' endorses Hillary Clinton
The editorial board of the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Saturday and expressly directed its message to fence-sitting voters who remain unsure about the Democratic former secretary of state.
"Our endorsement is rooted in respect for her intellect, experience, toughness and courage over a career of almost continuous public service, often as the first or only woman in the arena," according to the endorsement published online mid-day Saturday.
Major Ohio paper endorses Clinton after years of backing GOP
"The Enquirer has supported Republicans for president for almost a century -- a tradition this editorial board doesn't take lightly. But this is not a traditional race, and these are not traditional times," the editorial board of the Enquirer published Friday.
