The Historic Amphitheatre on 7th Ave burned down last night and still has smoke permeating the air as far away to Seminole Heights. Our friend, Mark Eary was bartending on the balcony at Hamburger Mary’s and was the first to call the police and fire rescue. In one facebook post, The Hard Rock Casino reached out to the now unemployed and asked them to apply for new jobs today. Words can not describe how devastated the GaYBOR/Ybor City family is.

    We are so very lucky to have Bob Buckhorn as the Mayor of Tampa!!! As PayPal decided not to move to North Carolina because of their recent discrimination law, our Mayor has opened his arms and is welcoming PayPal Corp. to move $20 million expansion operations to Tampa! This just makes common sense.

    Can you just image what a FANTASTIC FLORIDA GOVERNOR Bob Buckhorn would make for Florida!!!

    Tampa is so proud to have had a former mayor that made a positive difference to our GLBT community and for foreseeing new industries and technologies to discover Tampa Bay area. Pam Iorio is now CEO and President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America relocating the headquarters from Texas to Tampa. She is also TAMPA PRIDE’s “Recognized Community GLBTA Supporter 2016 Award” recipients. Also honored for the award was Joe Redner.

    Both walked in celebration and honored to the community in the TAMPA PRIDE Parade March 26th.

    Traveling a great deal goes with the responsibilities of the new position, Pam hadn’t received her honored Community award in February at Cristino’s Restaurant for the TAMPA PRIDE’s Grand Marshal’s GALA.

    Presenting the award to Pam Iorio is TAMPA PRIDE’s President Carrie West.

    What a great group of recent responsible Tampa mayors! Sandy Friedman, Dick Greco, Pam Iorio and Bob Buckhorn.

    It is going to be a busy building season in Ybor City this year. There are several big and small developments ready to go. From large apartment complexes, hotel and smaller housing structures.

    NOW is the time to buy in Historical Ybor and GaYBOR District!!! Hurry you might already be too late. Gary Town https://www.facebook.com/GARY-TOWN-Design-District-1438065336410575/?fref=ts    located just to the east of Ybor (same zip code) is the area to seriously be looking at now.
