TAMPA, Fla. - Thursday marked the grand opening of Palazzo Pizzeria Italiana on Platt Street, and the business s owner is hopeful the Super Bowl will bring them a much-needed boost during the pandemic. This year, with the way COVID is and how the Super Bowl is going to be this year, we re excited for the people who are coming down, said Jason Fox, the owner of Palazzo Pizza. One other thing I did find out during the pandemic and COVID up north and all around that pizzerias are recession-proof and pandemic-proof. I know a lot of people reach out to take out and delivery and that s another thing we ll see a rise in our numbers because of it.

BRIDGEPORT A suspect in a Main Street bank robbery, arrested following a chase Wednesday night, told officers, “I’m a drug dealer, not a bank robber.”
Police said they later determined that Cordaryl Glenn was right after they found drugs on him but no cash from the robbery.
Glenn, 32, of Platt Street, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a pistol and carrying a pistol without a permit.
During his arraignment Thursday, Superior Court Judge Tracy Lee Dayton ordered Glenn, who has an extensive criminal record, held in lieu of $150,000 bond.
