Tampa Riverwalk with Cheese
    Tampa’s newly completed 2.5 mile Tampa Riverwalk had a new addition to its huge outdoor park events, Mac & Cheese Fest backed by our Mayor Bob!!
    The spring days in Tampa are beautiful and refreshing. Downtown’s’ Curtis Hixon Park is a treasured huge green space that massages the inner Tampa crowds young and old souls.
    Can you imagine just decades ago the alignment of Tampa’s old dilapidated warehouses along the Hillsborough River. Warehousing businesses supplying the needs of the area and  to the West coast of Florida. What a great positive transition.
    But after 6 mayors in office working on the new creation of beatification for Tampa, it is finally 90% competed. A 2.5 mile funway getaway walkway along the banks and hi rises of downtown Tampa will relax your mind and body.
