Protest Florida Gov. Scott

Posted on by

A downtown Tampa protest to save the high speed rail Tampa to Orlando was held on President’s Day. The protest was very well organized by former councilwoman Linda Saul-Sena. With pro on one side of city hall and anti ralliers on the other side of the Kennedy Blvd,  the protest rally got very heated at times. Ed Turanchik, Rev. Thomas Scott, Mary Mulhern, Congresswoman Cathy Castor, Carrie West & others all spoke to the highly generated cheering crowd.  This was the first time we had a chance to talk face to face with the Tea Party People. Unfortunately they never stopped screaming at us long enough to have a real conversation

Ybor City Chamber Hosts Free “Street Festival”

(Tampa, FL)  Ybor City celebrates its 64th Annual Fiesta Day this Saturday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.  This free, family-oriented traditional event honors the Cuban, Spanish, Italian, German and Romanian immigrants that settled Ybor in the late 1800s.

 

“Come out and enjoy ‘Chamber of Commerce weather’ in our National Historic Landmark District,” invites Tom Keating, President of the Ybor Chamber.  “See Ybor City, ‘the heart and soul’ of Tampa, at its very best!”

 

Ybor’s own restaurants will be featured in the Sabor de Ybor.  Guests will be able to graze from one end of La Setima to the other.  The Arte de Ybor will include not only our own “creative retail,” but also a juried art show for up and coming, young artists at the Relevant Church on 16th Street.

 

The Maxima 92.5 Main Stage will feature Javier – Sambras Flamencas, The Danny Lozada Band and Supernatural, a Santana tribute band.  Local arts-magnet schools and the HCC Jazz Ensemble will perform on the Centro Ybor Youth Stage.

 

Fiesta Day 2011 is presented by BB&T Bank and sponsored by Verizon, Maxima 92.5, Centro Ybor, the St. Petersburg Times, City of Tampa and Ybor City Development Corporation.  For more information visit www.ybor.org or call 813.241.8838.

Flirt Reunion

Great friends coming together made for a very special night. The reunion was held at Czar just one block from the old Flirt Nightclub . Darlene was there looking Fab with her staff of beauties. Overhead on 12 giant projected screens were over 2,000 photos from the past. It’s amazing how some people haven’t changed a bit over the years. Humm, I want their doctors numbers!!!! The highlight of the evening was a impressive show with many of the Flirt favorites

‘Hactivists’ Target Westboro Baptist Church
Hacker group Anonymous appears to have singled out its next target – the controversial anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church in the US. An open letter, purporting to be from Anonymous, accused the church of bigotry and fanaticism. It warned that Westboro’s websites would be attacked if the congregation did not stop its public protests. In a defiant response, the church said it would not be silenced, and urged Anonymous to “bring it”. Westboro Baptist Church has been widely condemned for its aggressive anti-gay campaigning. www.biggaynews.com
 
Wyoming Senate Passes Anti-Gay Marriage Bill
The Wyoming Senate narrowly voted Friday to stop recognition of same-sex marriages and civil unions from outside the state. House Bill 74 passed 16-14 after tagging on a last-second amendment guaranteeing out-of-state couples in civil unions access to Wyoming courts. Because of the amendment, the bill will now head back to the House to approve the changes. The House passed the legislation late last month 32-27. Supporters of the bill, House Bill 74, said the legislation is needed to resolve a conflict in Wyoming law, which defines marriage as a contract “between a male and a female person” but also recognizes any valid marriage performed outside the state
