🌱 Halloween Shooting Leaves 1 Teen Dead, 1 Injured + TBBC Controversy

Hello all. It's me, Carlos Hernandez, your host of the Tampa Daily — here to impart all the most important things happening locally. Including news about:

• 🏘️ City of Tampa has been ranked No. 4 in the 2022-2023 Best Places to Retire in the United States.
• 🍺 Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) co-owner is "walking away" from the business after a recent controversy.
• 📉 The real estate market in Tampa Bay is facing significant cooldown amid rising interest rates.

Today is National Deviled Egg Day. The perfect addition to any party and with Thanksgiving approaching, a potential dish to make for the season.

But first, today's weather:

An afternoon shower or two. High: 88 Low: 71.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Tampa who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Tampa Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories in Tampa today:

1. City of Tampa is now ranked No. 4 on the 2022-2023 Best Places to Retire in the United States, according to an annual list U.S. News & World Report released this week. The ranking is a new record for Tampa. Changes in the housing market are impacting retirement trends for senior citizens and inflation remains a concern. (Tampa Patch)

2. Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) co-owner John Doble is "walking away" from the business after alleged rude and discriminatory comments. At least five employees quit the brewery over comments allegedly made by Doble, according to WTSP. David Doble, managing partner of TBBC and the son of John Doble, addressed the concerns in a Facebook live on Monday night. (WTSP)

3. The Blend coffee shop has crossed the bridge from St. Pete and is now open in Tampa. It is located at 9951 W. Hillsborough Ave. The Blend is best-known for its signature latte flights, but also offers baked goods, smoothies, and fresh coffee roasts to-go. (That's So Tampa)

4. A teenage girl has died, and another teen was hospitalized after a shooting at a Halloween party in Thonotosassa, according to authorities. The incident happened in the 9000 block of Harney Road. An investigation is now underway, and the shooter is still at large as of Tuesday afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities. (WFLA)

5. September sales data from Greater Tampa Realtors shows a dramatic cooldown in Tampa Bay's housing market with a 36.2 percent year over year drop. Housing inventory also soared in the Tampa Bay area by 96.9 percent. A drop in demand and increase in inventory could push prices lower for homes in the Tampa Bay area.
