Tank The Great Dane Is Ready To Be Adopted
Tank the Great Dane is ready to be adopted. He is our Mutt Monday dog this week. He is long and lanky now, but when he is full grown, Tank live up to his name! His size may be intimidating, but he is just a big, giant goofball. He loves to play, and will try to give you big hugs. Tank is a 1-year-old, 91 pound Great Dane. Due to his size and energy level, he will do best in a home with no small children.
Every Monday we highlight a dog that is available for adoption at Pet Pal Animal Shelter. Tate is our Mutt Monday dog this week and he is available at Pet Pal Animal Shelter in St. Pete. Pet Pal’s Mission Statement is, “Our mission is to rescue dogs and cats from shelters that may otherwise be euthanized due to time limitations, illness, injuries or lack of socialization and training. We are dedicated to educating the public about the pet overpopulation crisis, the importance of spaying/neutering and responsible pet ownership.”
Finally, Pet Pal is open from Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. Pet Pal is located at 405 22nd Street South in St. Pete. They also have a thrift store that supports the efforts of the shelter.
8 Tampa Restaurants We Wish We Could Bring Back
Miami Subs
Miami Subs was one of the most popular comments you all posted on our socials. I love crushing sandos as much as the next guy so if anyone knows of a place like Miami Subs, I’ll need that spot. Miami Subs brought that BSE (Big Sandwich Energy) to Tampa Bay. You can catch the old menu right here.

Ponderosa's Steakhouse
The Ponderosa Steakhouse in Largo closed up shop in February 1999 after 23 years in business. It was replaced by a new restaurants and a few fast food chains. Century 21 Mills First real estate agent James Schaller Sr said, “In the case of the Ponderosa, the restaurant was unable to compete with newer steakhouses that offer a higher grade of meat for a little more money”.
Bennigan's Grill & Tavern
Bennigan’s was one of Tampa’s favorite place to get traditional American cuisine. Regulars always came back for their favorite waiters and the fan favorite bar.
Colonnade
The Colonnade Restaurant was one of Tampa’s oldest restaurants dating back to World War II. It was known for its authentic seafood and was located on Bayshore Boulevard. It was family owned and operated for generations and when it came time to close it’s doors, was sold to a developer for a new project.
Spaghetti Warehouse
Spaghetti Warehouse was a vintage style Italian restaurant known for it’s wide variety of custom spaghetti dishes. The inside had a vintage trolley car to eat at and white/red checkered table clothes to add to the vintage style brick throughout the restaurant0. This is a restaurant chain so if you’re looking to fill that void, you can still find them located in Texas!
Morrison’s Cafeterias
Morrison’s Cafeteria started out in Alabama where they eventually opened up shops across the United States. It was another buffet style restaurant that was favored by so many Tampa locals.
Don Pablo's
Don Pablo’s was one of Tampa’s best places to get Tex-Mex style food. There were several locations throughout Florida. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, checkout the menu here.
