Tommy Duncan over at Sticks of Fire, 'the' Tampa blog, posted about the new Tampa Towers building project last Friday. Today the St. Pete Times wrote a story about the project stating that:
News of his project appeared Friday evening on a Tampa blog site. Amon said he didn't plan on announcing Tampa Towers soon and put up the Web site to attract investors. The project Web site and Tampa Towers information on the company site were pulled down after Amon talked with a St. Petersburg Times reporter Monday afternoon.
I suggested that Tommy e-mail the reporter to tell him that the 'Tampa blog site' he referred to was called Sticks of Fire. Tommy did, and the reporter confirmed that it was his blog that got the scoop. But alas, still no published credit.

here's a good one:
The reporter thought including the name might be too cumbersome for the story...
No worries, though. There may be more to the story tomorrow (you know, in that slow-moving newspaper style).

Did you know there is a Tampa Towers on the Bayshore here in Tampa? I found a blog with your sticks of fire info when I was looking for a phone number . The one in the directory is out of service or discontinued. I Live at Canterbury Tower, across the street. I'm trying to reach them to tell them there is an eagle or osprey (More likely the later) on their 6th Floor balcony. This is 6:40 Monday and he's been there since at least 5:00 pm Sunday.
