Fall. It’s that wonderful time of year when the leaves the change, the air cools down and we can finally pull the scarves, sweaters and boots out of the closet. It also opens a whole slew of new date ideas. For those of us in the sunshine state of Florida, we don’t always get to see the falling leaves or wear boots, but that doesn’t mean we can’t partake in the classic fall festive activities with our significant other by our side. Here are a few ideas of places to take "insta-worthy" photos in the Tampa Bay area this fall season.

1. Howl-O-Scream

This classic annual event has been held at Busch Gardens for the past seventeen years. Haunted Houses, scare zones and even intense scary shows are the perfect place to take your other half to hold your hand for a few hours. Howl-O-Scream will be held on select nights until October 30, so hurry over now to enjoy the haunted houses.

2. Hyde Park Pumpkin Patch

This is a can’t-miss pumpkin patch. From now until October 30, Hyde Park will be hosting its annual pumpkin patch at Village Circle. Cool air, pretty pumpkins and your cutie by your side? What could be better?

3. Ghost Tour

Stories of haunted mansions, curses, tragic love stories and real ghost stories, these are all things you can experience at Ghost Tour of St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay. While you can go on this tour year round, the spooky candlelight tour feels so much better in cold air and sets the mood for a fantastic Halloween.

4. Chamber of Terror

This haunted house is held on a ship, the SS American Victory, with enough creepy sights and stories to send chills down your spine all night long. This four-hour-long experience is so intense that you’ll want nothing more than to snuggle up with hot cocoa (or pumpkin spice, your choice) and movies afterward.

5. Harvestmoon Farm

This local establishment has been hosting this classic five acre corn maze for 50 years now, and they have added many activities to enjoy on the side. This family friendly farm has a pumpkin patch suitable for everything from Jack-O-Lantern sized pumpkins, to high quality gourds for making that perfect pumpkin pie. The Jumping Pillow, a giant trampoline and corn ball court make this trip worth every penny and minute you spend.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
