Hotel ALBA Tampa

Posted on September 27, 2019 by admin

The Grand Unveiling of the Hotel ALBA Tampa was incredible. The former Crowne Plaza has undergone a complete make over. The Spanish word ALBA means sun rising. It is truly a new day in style and energy. The theme is Spanish but it’s more like Ybor City Spanish. There are hints of Cuban & Italy everywhere. There is even an Ybor Meeting room. In the lobby there is a video of Tampa Bay. In the video are many high lights of Ybor City. The main ballroom and its location to the outside will make it a hit for many events. Thank You for inviting Dishing with Mark n Carrie. We will be back soon.

Jay Chetney

There was a very special guest speaker at the Hillsborough County LGBTA Caucus. Jay Chetney was at the Stonewall riots as a young person. In his speech he told what happened thru his eye. We can only hope that somebody records his memories for us all.

You Just Can Not Make This Up

You Just Can Not Make This Up

Looks like this runs in our family. Below is a Facebook post from our Niece Niki.

I’m taking after my Uncles Mark Carrie with YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP with BEST Uber ride ever tonight! Here’s what happened. Got in the Uber and Rhonda found a cell phone. I checked to see if I could open it but it was locked. The home screen was a very attractive man without a shirt. He finally called his phone and when I answered I told him that he would have to take his shirt off to properly identify him. After all, we wouldn’t want this phone to get in the wrong abs, I mean hands. He then Face Timed me and took off his shirt. Once I counted all of his abs, we could be sure it was him. He thanked me for being so careful and properly IDing him. The Uber driver Jason then delivered him his phone after we were dropped off. Here is the pic of our FaceTime.
