Tampa hospital working with controversial construction firm on $60M apartment complex

Tampa General Hospital broke ground Monday on a new 170-unit Brandon apartment complex designed to help the $4 billion healthcare system recruit and retain employees. The company chosen to build the new community is Camden, New Jersey-based The Michaels Organization, which is being sued in federal court by families who lived on MacDill Air Force Base and allege, among other things, illnesses linked to mold exposure. The company has also drawn the ire of two local Congressional leaders who are demanding changes and tighter restrictions. The development, called The Linden, will rent apartments exclusively to Tampa General and USF Health workers earning between 80% and 120% of the area median income, TGH says. For a one-person household in Hillsborough County, that’s a salary between $64,250 annually and $96,360 annually under 2026 state housing guidelines. The hospital’s announcement does not list rents for the one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

Menopause, the Municipal Ordinance

Menopause, along with its younger sibling perimenopause, has been having a moment — for a few years now. Recently, the City of Philadelphia hopped aboard, and not just because our leader is a 50-something woman who unabashedly appears in public toting a handheld fan. On January 1, 2027, a new provision in the City’s Fair … Continue reading Menopause, the Municipal Ordinance

Addie Kotsol November 6, 2026 3 min read Propelled by an overtime thriller and a shutout the next day, the Oswego State women’s ice hockey team opened up its regular season with a road sweep of Arcadia University.

Football trounced by Villanova on Senior Day

The football team committed four turnovers and allowed five touchdowns to Villanova University last Saturday, falling in a 44-21 Senior Day domination at Fisher Stadium in each team’s first matchup as Patriot League opponents. Villanova (4-2 Patriot League, 5-4 overall) picked up four first downs on its opening possession, but a 2-yard tackle for loss and a pair of incompletions forced the Wildcats to settle for a 30-yard field goal. After setting up shop on their own 17-yard line, junior running back Jakyre Henley shook off two defenders in the backfield and ripped a 23-yard run to kick-start the Leopards’ (2-3 Patriot League, 3-5 overall) offense. After making it to the Villanova 31-yard line, junior quarterback Jason Penza subbed in under center, faking the handoff before scampering all the way and diving for the pylon to take a 7-3 lead. “The O-line had made a massive hole for me, and then I just had to run hard,” Penza said.

Cargo ship strikes bridge between New Jersey and Philadelphia, causing traffic backup

PHILADELPHIA — A cargo ship struck a bridge across the Delaware River on Thursday, disrupting traffic between Palmyra, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, according to a Pennsylvania lawmaker. The collision left the 3,659-foot-long Tacony-Palmyra Bridge unable to close, causing a major backup on the Philadelphia side, state Rep. Ed Neilson said in a news release. No injuries have been reported, he said. The U.S. Coast Guard said the cargo vessel is currently moored at a Kinder Morgan facility in Bristol, Pennsylvania, where an inspection team is on site. The Coast Guard has not yet released further information on the ship’s owner or operator. The drawbridge was open for ships to pass through at the time of the collision around 1:15 p.m., according to the Coast Guard. It remained open afterward because another vessel needed to pass through, and has since come back down. The steel bridge carries vehicles along Route 73 between Palmyra and the Tacony neighborhood in northeast Philadelphia.

Building a Collector's Bookshelf: What the Season's Collectible Volumes Teach You to Look For

The most useful thing on a collector's bookshelf is not a price guide. It is a book that explains the people and the craftsmanship behind the objects, because that is the knowledge that outlasts any market cycle. Andrew Nodell made exactly that argument in a roundup of seven new illustrated titles for Intelligent Collector, published November 3, 2026, and his framing holds as general advice: a vintage watch, he writes, can reveal as much about its design era as about the engineering beneath the dial. Read the roundup as more than a shopping list. Each title models a different way of looking closely at a collectible — through the maker's biography, through a place transformed over time, through a single publication's visual history. That is the durable lesson for anyone building a collector's library, whatever the category. And the economics matter too: these are $30 to $150 volumes, and knowing what a book costs to make and sell is part of knowing what it is worth.

Montauk Mary, along with five other cold case victims, identified by Suffolk County District Attorney

The cold case homicide victim known for a half century only as “Montauk Mary” was publicly identified on Thursday, Nov. 12 as Sofia Margherita Marrone — one of six previously unidentified cold case individuals that Suffolk County authorities announced they have put names to. The six victims' identifications are the result of the work of the Suffolk County District Attorney's Cold Case Task Force, which was formed in April 2024 piggybacking off of the work that had been done to identify convicted Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, as well as several of his victims. "The six individuals in these cases remained nameless for decades, with the oldest case dating back 50 years to 1976," Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said at a news conference revealing the victims’ names.
