...more ever becoming reality.

"Right now pursuant to a meeting we recently had, they want to make some amendments to their approvals because they do anticipate some vendor coming in," Pasco County Zoning and Code Compliance Administrator Debra Zampetti told 10 News.

Signs seem to be pointing to Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group taking over the property.

Simon, the nation's largest operator of outlet malls, owns the Ellenton Premium Outlets as well as others in the state.

TAMPA, Florida -- When Mary Lee's House opened four years ago, the toys made children feel welcome.

But stuffed animals, soft colors, and the life-size tree hanging over the lobby aren't just decorations. They're the tools to help children feel at ease as they prepare to tell their
...more stories of severe trauma, abuse, or neglect.

Most of them are under the age of five.

"Domestic violence, rape, sexual assault, a lot of the things people don't like to think about that occur in our community," says Dr. Leslie Kille, who works in trauma recovery at the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay inside Mary Lee's House.

Mary Lee's House on Armenia Avenue is where children go after they've been abused or neglected and referred either by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office or by Florida's Abuse Hotline. Here, they can receive medical exams, interviews from investigators, and counseling through art.

"The place was built with them in mind," says Trish

The Museum of Science and Industry -- MOSI -- in Tampa is a perfect place for a weekend trip with the kids. But, get this, technically the museum isn't a "museum" at all!

Why do they call it MOSI?

Rain, planes, brains, electricity explained, even fake hurricanes! There's so
...more much to see and learn at Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry -- MOSI.

Or, is as it used to be pronounced, Mossy.

"In the early days, the initials were used M-O-S-I. But it was pronounced 'mossy' -- like the green moss that grows on trees," said MOSI President Wit Ostrenko.

"So, finally, as we got the facility open, we started expanding it, we went to 'mosey' -- like moseying along."

For more than two decades, Ostrenko has run MOSI, showing off the practical side of science.
