Ray’s Moving to Ybor City?
The whispers around Ybor City and in downtown Tampa are saying the Ray’s will be coming to Ybor City.
What?? We heard this same claim 18 months ago . Ray’s moving to the GaYBOR District in Ybor City.
The window of opportunity were closed after the $1 Billion baseball complexwas proposed. Since then the St Petersburg leaders cinched the idea and so did the Ray’s Baseball group, in public.
The empty space that was presented to the Ray’s is still available.We did know that the rents went sky high for a 6 month period. Now coming back to affordable rent. But if the Ray’s do plan on looking at Ybor City, what will happen next.
A new proposal brought to the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners Meeting by Comm Ken Hagan yesterday have a proposal for an Entertainment AND Ray’s Baseball Center. And guess where? That is correct in the GaYBOR District in the southside of Ybor City.
It was just over 6 weeks ago the ownership of the Rays proposed splitting the annual season between Montreal & Tampa Bay area. No more specifics have been sent out. St Pete leaders have said nothing!
We will just have to see how the new whispers will pan out.

The Ybor City Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce Lee Bell as
the new Executive Director. Mr. Bell started the new position on Monday, August 5, 2019.
Mr. Bell has built a career out of transforming businesses and organizations. He brings a great mix of experience in various
high-level management positions, a track record of success, operational excellence, and an easily discernible passion for supporting and building a vibrant membership organization.
Chamber Chairman, Travis Horn, expressed his pleasure with the pick by saying, “Our Selection Committee chaired by Lynn Kroesen
included the right mix of new & returning members who formulated a process that was thorough and fair. I’m ecstatic that Lee Bell has agreed to join our Chamber and believe he’s the right leader at the right time!”
Most recently, Lee worked as the Executive Director for the Florida
Association for Child Care Management. Previously, Lee served as the President and CEO of the Greater Temple Terrace Chamber of Commerce, serving the northern parts of Tampa Bay and Hillsborough County. Prior to the Chamber, Lee founded and operated a multi-million dollar staffing, recruiting, and human resource business until he sold it. For over twenty years Lee held various leadership posts within Ashland Chemical, a $2.7 billion division of Ashland, Inc. Lee joins us with the unique perspective of a small-business owner who understands the day-to-day challenges of running a business
as well as the knowledge of working diplomatically with governmental and community organizations.
Chairman Horn went on to say, “Lee’s enthusiasm is contagious, and we are proud and excited to introduce him to the community!

You Just Can Not Make This Up
In school, and later in life we all had nick names for our friends. A friend of our was hit by a train. After spending many months in a coma, he came out and is OK today. We all have called him Train Wreck since that time. One time I was bartending in a restaurant. Train Wreck stopped by and I took his order. The kitchen manager came out and called me aside. He said to me… You know, that when you type a customer’s name in they can read it on the receipt. I smile and said yes. He then said with and upset voice… You just called this guy Train Wreck. I smile and said Yes its his name. The manager just walked away shaking his head in disbelief. LMAO So the next time you get a recipe look for your name. You might be surprised what they called you.
