The cafe serves the homeless, hungry and working poor, officials say.
For the past eight years, Trinity Cafe has served the homeless and hungry for free in the Salvation Army's building on North Florida Avenue. Soon, cafe officials hope to raise enough money to break ground on a new location about a mile away at the gateway of Seminole Heights: 2801 Nebraska Avenue near Columbus Drive. "We can't tell you when we're going to open," said Cindy Davis, program director of the cafe. "It depends on raising funds to finish the project. We live on donations." While some Seminole Heights residents say they fear the new location will contribute to an increase in neighborhood crime, Davis is hopeful that the cafe - which serves lunch to about 200 people five days a week - can expand to seven days at its new location. …

A recent Starbucks announcement regarding changes to its membership rewards program has the lactose intolerant community petitioning to keep soymilk as a perk.
Starbucks rewards members, brace yourselves. Starting this fall, that soy in your latte will cost you. Starbucks riled its lactose intolerant rewards members with a recent announcement of some big changes coming Oct. 16. Starbucks' popular program rewards people with certain perks such as free soymilk, shots of flavor syrup and drinks, among others. The recent announcement was sent to registered rewards card holders on Sept. 18. It said soymilk and flavored syrups would no longer be offered for free. That change prompted some reward members to start a Change.org petition to convince Starbucks against it. Jennifer Jones, a petition supporter from Brandon wrote: I am lactose intolerant and I don't believe that I'll be receiving anything in …

Tampa's crowds never brought vendors the big bucks, but Charlotte is off to a strong start.
Convention crowds may have been a no-show for the most part downtown at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, but they're already out in force for Charlotte's Democratic National Convention, which officially kicks off Tuesday. A walk around the rain-soaked restaurants near Charlotte Convention Center on Monday found steady lines of people spending money. "I'm happy so far," said Bob Morrison, owner of the "The Sandwich Club," a takeout food shop which opened in 1996. "I'm just hoping it stays like this." "Today was great," said Marlys Sielsky, chief hospitality officer for Matt's Chicago Dog. "It exceeded expectations." In Tampa, business owners lamented last week that, "We åwere told this would be our Christmas. Instead we have …

An expected boon to downtown Tampa businesses because of the RNC is a bust, restaurateurs said Tuesday.
It was supposed to be like a Super Bowl shot in the arm for downtown Tampa restaurants who expected throngs of eaters during the four-day Republican National Convention. The city made much ado about preparation for the event pouring money into landscaping and road repairs. But it was a virtual ghost town Tuesday during what would be the start of the busy lunchtime rush. Lynn Pham just hopes to break even this week. “I just don’t see it,” she said. Pham, owner of Bamboozle Cafe on Tampa Street, ordered extra food for the week. She kept on additional help and even was open on Sunday for the crowds she anticipated. But no one came. Sure there was Tropical Storm Isaac but the storm passed far from Tampa, Pham said. Between the storm and the …

Tropical Storm Isaac is putting a damper on the economic impact of the RNC.
Millions of dollars are supposed to be thrown around in Tampa this week by visitors in town for the Republican National Convention, but Tropical Storm Isaac's presence off the Gulf Coast is spoiling the spending spree thus far. Beverly's Gift Shop downtown has stocked its entire floor with RNC related gear, from t-shirts and hats to Barack Obama punching bags, but the best day of business for owner Rich Moore was last Friday as delegates hide inside the Tampa Convention Center and their hotels avoiding the weather. "I don't know what to expect," Moore said. "The problem right now is that we haven't seen an influx of people, just the locals picking up RNC stuff last Friday. The weather hasn't helped, but they say there is no more rain …
