You Just Can Not make This Up
To be a small business owner you need to be a little crazy. To be a bar owner, even more crazy. One of the craziest bar owners I ever worked for was the Bank on Central in St. Pete. The owner was from some eastern European country and had never owned a bar before. He started Gay Night on Saturdays and hired a great local promoter. I could write a book just about this strange owner. One night before opening he brought in a box of donuts. He proudly opened the box and told us about the bakery he purchased them from. We all took one. Then after we finished eating the donuts, he asked for $5 from each of us for the donuts!!! We all paid and thought WTF!!!! The next weekend he came in with another box of donuts. We all said No Thank You. He got very mad and slammed the box down. Then said before each of you leave you need to pay me $20 each for the privilege of working here. All of us were already were working there for free. The club closed shortly after that. I wonder why????

Tampa PRIDE MEETING
Everyone is welcome
YBOR CITY WIN
In a Samson vs Goliath fight. The residents of Ybor City stood up to a developer who wanted to convert a Cigar factory into an event space. The building only has 10 parking spaces, so the over flow would go into the neighborhood lawns. There was also a roof top event space planned. This would have brought noise, traffic and more to a very quiet neighborhood. The residents came together and stood up to the developer. The Tampa City Council with a 4 to2 vote agreed with the residents. The residents all applaud the repurposing of this build. A conversing to homes would be a better fit in our community.

NEW JOBS in Ybor City
You Just Can Not make This Up
I was enjoying relaxing in a favorite Gay bar. A guy I kind of recognized, but didn’t know walks up to me. He was much older than me and a little cocktailed, smelled of cigarettes. Say to me…. “Hi Tea Cup, just so you know, 30 years ago I thought you were very HOT and I wants to have sex with you. “Me… OK? Thank You???” Then he goes on and spoke. “But now your way to old for me and walks away.” All I could think to say was Blees your heart!!! For those of you not from the south that is how we politely say F-U here. LMAO
