It was the Friday after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday. Our niece’s husband was up early and out the door shopping. Then he called home all excite that he was at Home Depot and had bought her a ring!!!! Our niece said the she didn’t know Home Depot has a jewelry section. He replied no silly a Ring Door Bell! I told her welcome to the world of old married people. LMAO

Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil
PFLAG Tampa hosted the Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil in downtown Tampa. They share a connection with Jenny De Leon, one of 47 transgender and gender nonconforming individuals murdered this year. We have to do better.

After Years of Planning
Work on the streetscape between 24rd st and 26th st along 7th Ave will start the first week of December with an estimated time of completion of May 2022. The project includes the East Ybor Gateway monument and the new redesigned archways and benches, trashcans, Ybor lights and hexagon pavers.

From…. Fran Costantino
It took a Village “YEARS” to prove we are worthy – had to get the “blessing” of Stormwater, ROW, Transportation, Barrio Latino, YCDC Staff, Wasterwater, Engineering, City Council to approve funds and so many more Departments and people to make this project finally a “REALITY”! We are so VERY grateful!
VIVA HISTORIC EAST YBOR CITY – we are finally “moving’ on UP”! Thank you, Muchas Gracias and Molto Grazie to ALL – December 2nd. can come soon enough!

THIS SATURDAY @ City Side Lounge

METRO Inclusive Health Ribbon Cutting

Carrie, John & Nancy attended the Grand Opening of Metro Inclusive Health’s new facility in Tampa and learned a lot from the strategically-placed employees in the facility. Anyone (gay, straight, cis, trans., etc) can avail themselves of their services which range from prevention to primary care to mental health. They pride themselves on offering services at minimal cost. Their Youth Center (the blue bungalo next door) is spacious and welcoming with indoor and outdoor spaces. The original building (The old German Club which you can see from I-4) has intriguing history, and the new addition fits in perfectly. Excited to have this new expanded facility in Tampa!
