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

Dishing with Mark n Carrie…. Great Weekend
