The Old Florida First Tower
At one time this was the tallest building in Florida. Today the Park Tower a 36 story building is undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation. The building will be painted a light color and feature up lighting. What a nice improvement for this building.
The 36-story building will undergo a multi-million-dollar renovation.
Park Tower will be painted a lighter color, a new entrance will be constructed and it will feature a “light box” that will illuminate the office tower against Tampa’s Riverfront skyline.

One day I was talking with a HOT DADDY. I asked where he was from. He said he had just arrived from Switzerland. I then asked if he came over on Edelweiss Airline. With a big smile he said “Why yes I did.” Me with my big mouth then told him that many of the flight crews stop by and party with me. Did he know any of them? With an even bigger smile he said “Yes I know all of the crew. I am the Captain.” WOW what a small world!!! LOL LOL LOL

Historic East Ybor And Gary Neighborhood Association April Meeting
Hello neighbors!
We have been hard at work getting everything in place for our new inclusive neighborhood association – starting with the name – Historic East Ybor and Gary Neighborhood Association (HEYGNA).
Please join us for our April membership meeting which will be hosted by La Gaceta, located in Gary (3210 E 7th Ave., Tampa, FL, 33605). All are welcome – residents (owners and renters) and businesses (owners or representatives). We are still building and growing so bring a neighbor (or two)! This meeting will help inform our priorities for this year.
We have plenty to talk about and will send out an agenda prior to the meeting, but if you have any items of interest that you would like added, please let us know.
Jose Cayon (HEYGNA, President)
