A Stranger in the Barrio: Memoir of a Tampa Sicilian
The diaspora of immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century brought Spaniards, Cubans and Sicilians to Tampa’s Ybor City, then the cigar capital of the world. These Latinos lived in a cigar-manufacturing district bordering “colored town.” Anglos, making no distinction, called them “Latin “N”.”It was the Sicilian constituency the author joined-a culture steeped in ancient customs and traditions. In the shade of cigar factories, the child of cigarmakers resurrects a vanished time and place. It is the story of cigarmaker lives, and a boy rolling with the punches while his family rolls cigars.Learn about casitas and shotgun homes. Experience austerity and illiteracy inside. Hear conversations that clench Franchito’s fists against the omnipresent Cubans. Sicilians are outnumbered-a minority among minorities. Walk into a cigar factory and see what cigar aficionados never see.”A masterful memoir-earthy and emotional-never a dull word in this fascinating story.”-Leland Hawes, The Tampa Tribune”Raw and unvarnished an autobiography that adds to our understanding of that remarkable place called Ybor City. A tale of urban decline, ethnic friction, and hope, it is a must read.”-Gary R. Mormino, Professor of History, University of South Florida
Meet the Real McCoy
Rumrunner Bill McCoy was born 1877 in Syracuse, NY. The most famous rumrunner during the early years of Prohibition, McCoy smuggled liquor from the Bahamas to the East Coast of the United States. The phrase “the real McCoy” is often attributed to him, because of his insistence on selling unadulterated alcohol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McCoy_(bootlegger)

You Can Not Make This Up
When your young you sometimes do dumb things…. I was living in Minneapolis, MN. and had a Gay roommate we called Miss New York. Together we had a lady friend who was living in an abusive relationship. One day at happy hour we decided to put a stop to it and move her in with us. We waited until 12 midnight, after the boyfriend had gone to work. Walked the 5 blocks away to her nasty apartment. All she had was twin bed, dresser and clothes. So, we took the bed out side put the dresser and clothes on it and started to push it down the street about 1AM. (At this time in Minneapolis when you were charge with public drunkenness, they put you in the drunk tank (a clinic for rehab) for 48 hours.) Just then we realized that we were in front of the drunk tank!!! OMG WTF!!! A guard came out and asked what were we doing? I don’t know to this day why but he let us go. Our lady friend lived with us for 4 months then got her own apartment in a nice building.
