Sad News
The Ybor City Wine Bar started in Ybor City. They expanded to Seminole Height and South Tampa. Due to the covid, the Seminole and South Tampa locations have now permanently closed. As a community, we all share in/with Jayme, Mike & staff in their pain. We hope nothing but the best for their future. Every Wednesday there is the Ybor City Wine Society. Here you will taste and become more educated about wines. With great social distancing. Let’s all visit them this Wednesday.
The Honey Pot
The Honey Pot is closed due to the covid. Angel wants you to know that he is thinking about all his friends in Ybor. Angel is now 12 years old. One of his favorite treats is empty water bottles. After the club is closed Angel goes hunting for these treasures. He would bring the bottles to D. Stephen get a pat on the head then off to find more LOL. We all miss Angel too.
Gaspar’s Groto
From Eric Schiller …
So we were digging up some concrete on the patio. Look what we found! An old rusty horseshoe. When do you think the last horse drawn anything traveled the brick streets of 7th avenue.? Maybe in the early days of cars? Maybe 1910? Horseshoes have always been good luck. We’ll wash this one off and hang it up. We can use all the good luck we can get! — at Gaspar’s Grotto. https://www.facebook.com/gasparsgrotto/
Interesting Fun
Are you looking for something unusual to do? We took a trip to Largo to the “World’s Most Unusual Dollar Store”. It is hard to describe, but was kind of like going to aN Asian Flea market. They had everything. From Treasures to junk. What a fun way to social distance and get out of the house. Located at 4315 E Bay Dr, Clearwater, FL 33764
YCDC
The Ybor City Development Corp wants to know….. What’s Outside Your Window? This sounds like fun. Send you photo to www.yborcityonline.com
Netflix
Naughty Nancy & John got us started to watch the series “Reign” on Netflix. What are you supposed to do during this Pandemic (besides wearing masks).Then we started “Versailles”. Both the series are very interesting and worth your time. Both are period pieces from France and about 100 years apart. Regin is about Mary Queen of Scotts. With the Queens as the central characters there is a lot of drama. It’s like an adult soap opera at times but every episode ends with a cliff hanger moment. “Versailles” is about King Louie and his openly Gay brother, Phillipe. How and why they built Versailles Palace outside of Paris? The plot twists and turns to have you Binge watching right away. We give both 5 Thumbs up and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we did.
