Great Day for History in St. Petersburg

The City Council unanimously approved the local land marking of three properties within the City of St. Petersburg during today’s council meeting.

Tampa, Florida - Chef BT Nguyen is known for her Tampa restaurant, but what does she cook at home for her children?

Trina Nguyen, 16, says her mom is a stickler when it comes to healthy food.

"My mom told me never to eat anything that you can't pronounce the ingredients-like things in boxes and packages," says Trina.
