TAMPA, Fla. — Have you ever dreamed of trying the coffee at Luke's Diner that Rory and Lorelai Gilmore rave about?

Well, get ready, townspeople, because Stars Hollow is coming to Tampa.

The employees at Elevenses, a bakery and coffee shop in V.M. Ybor, are dusting off their baseball caps for their annual "Gilmore Girls" event. Every year, the shop offers a themed menu, with each item paying homage to the fictional town in Connecticut.

According to an Instagram post, a full menu is expected to be released next week. Last year's drink menu featured the "Team Christopher," a fruity pebbles iced latte, and the "Paris," a lime and black currant soda topped with a shot of matcha.

The event will run for three weeks, from May 15 to June 1, with a special pre-order-only preview on Mother's Day.

Elevenses is located at 1001 East Columbus Drive in Tampa.

'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers

Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.

But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
