Bringing SouthShore, Florida to PBS Viewers
SouthShore holds a particularly special connection to the series. The episode explores places and experiences throughout the southern Hillsborough County communities, introducing viewers to a side of the Tampa Bay area that many travelers may not know.
From Florida wildlife and conservation to prehistoric fossils and the fascinating history of America’s traveling carnivals and showmen, the episode celebrates some of the people and places that make SouthShore distinctive.
Being featured by a local community newspaper made the coverage especially meaningful.
“I’m thrilled to bring Love Eat Travel to public television viewers nationwide. More than just a show, it’s a heartfelt journey through America’s hidden gems, rich cultures, and unforgettable people,” Michelle Valentine told the Osprey Observer.
