GattiTown will give out free lunch, game time for grand opening
On Friday and Saturday, early birds will get the pizza and game tokens at the newly opened GattiTown gaming center. As part of its grand opening celebration, the first 100 kids (12 and younger) in line at 11 a.m. will receive a free lunch buffet and 30 minutes of game time. The restaurant serves specialty pizzas, pasta, salads and dessert.
The game center has 16,200 square feet of bumper cars, video games and mini bowling. This is the first Florida operation for the Texas-based gaming chain described as "Chuck E. Cheese on steroids."

THE AUTHORS
Sharon Kennedy Wynne has sunscreen in her blood. She may have been born in Buffalo but she got here as fast as she could, in time for kindergarten. She grew up in St. Petersburg, graduated from the University of Florida journalism school, and even got married at Sunken Gardens. She's one of the few adults we know who actually loves taking her kids to the beach. She has two sons and with 10 years of parenting under her belt, she's starting to feel a little less out of her league. She comes from a large family and loves to debate, so brace yourself when the hot topics come up.

Freelance writer Courtney Cairns Pastor wasn’t so sure about having kids and how she would balance child-rearing with her journalism career. It turned out that her journalism training went to good use. As the mom to a funny, active toddler, she learned to handle him like she did her sources. Never ask yes or no questions (the answer will always be no), get him to be specific (are you crying because you’re wet or your tooth hurts?) and be prepared for anything because no two days are the same. When she’s not playing trucks, Courtney crams for her book club, trains for races and occasionally bursts into showtunes. E-mail her at
