The former building of the Tampa Tribune newspaper located on Parker Street in Tampa photographed Sunday, March 19, 2017 as demolition of the building continues to pave the way for riverside condominiums. Sold by its owners Media General of Richmond, Virginia in 2012 to a Los Angeles investment company, the building was then sold to real estate developers who plan a 400-unit residential complex on the site.
Jack Cormier, a longtime news editor for Hernando Today and the Tampa Tribune said he had to visit the place where he had worked so long to say goodbye. “It’s very sad the building and its newspaper history is going away but progress waits for no one. This town (Tampa) is changing fast, and waterfront property is hot.” Photo by Jack Cormier
