Maybe we spoke too soon. Dr. Elizabeth Strom, a professor of urban politics and policy at The University of South Florida and an editor at <a href='https://www.draysbay.com/'>DRays Bay</a>, a Tampa Bay Rays blog on SB Nation, returns to our podcast this week. Two years ago, <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/875794/website/background/edit'>Episode 143</a> to be exact, Dr. Strom appeared to discuss what then looked like a solid deal for a new ballpark in St. Petersburg. A lot has happened since - most of it not good for Rays fans, at least Rays fans that want the team to stay in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Dr. Strom spills the tea and brings us up to date in this episode.You can support Hooks &amp; Runs by purchasing books, including books featured in this episode (if any were), through <a href='https://bookshop.org/shop/hooksandruns'>our store at Bookshop.org</a>.
