Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
This Friday, we're hitting the road with our biweekly community show, where we set out to highlight who and what makes the Tampa Bay area so great. Today, we're exploring Siesta Key and Lido Key, where we found a community working to make their pristine beaches more accessible, coming together post-hurricanes and bursting with pride. Oh, and we may have also checked out a mansion that's hitting the market for $31.5 million, because why not?
