MS The World
Look who we spotted in Port Tampa! Launched in March 2002 The World is the largest floating community in the world. There are 106 private apartments on board. The community travels the world. They stop 3-4 days at ports. Some resident live full time onboard while others visit through the year. How very exciting to have her stop in Tampa.
More New Museums in Ybor
The new Tampa Baseball Museum board has changed the opening date of the new Ybor City museum. This will be a six month delay. The changes are because of contractors finding more work and repairs that have to be done to the old Tampa famed baseball player Al Lopez home. The board also decided to wait until after the baseball season to open and to have major league baseball players present at the opening. The group is also looking for Tampa baseball memorabilia for the museum. Items can be given to the Ybor City Museum Society. www.tampabaseballmuseum.org.
While the 2 historic relocated houses are being renovated, 2 new parks next to the Tampa Baseball Museum and the new Law Enforcement Museum will be built across from the Centennial Park and the State Museum. New construction started this week and are now being transformed from parking lot to new parks.
