Tony’s Restaurant Ybor City

After 93 years Tony’s in Ybor City will be closing.  The Scaglione Family owned several restaurants in Tampa. In 1980 Mark worked for the family at the University Restaurant on Fowler Ave never USF. In 2007 We visited the Ybor City location. Mr. Scaglione was working behind the counter. We told him it was good to see him again. He laughed and said “You have gotten old.” LMAO

Subject: Pride Artifacts for TBHC

Hi Carrie, My name is Heather Culligan and I work with Brian Buttafuoco at the Tampa Bay History Center. I work as the Curator of Collections and am responsible for managing the museum collection. I’m contacting you because I mentioned to Brian that I’d love to add Pride artifacts to the collection and he gave me your contact information! Our collection currently does not hold a lot of items that tell the Pride story. I’m wondering if you have anything that you would be willing to donate to TBHC. Items could include brochures, pamphlets, photographs, documents, t-shirts – really anything that tells the story of Pride in Tampa.

Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Heather Culligan | Curator of Collections
