Belleview Biltmore Hotel Moved
To see more google Bitlmore Hotel
Published on Dec 21, 2016
Part of the 120-year-old structure will be carted a mere 320-feet to a new foundation.
Most of the hotel was taken down over the years because it was crumbling and coming apart.
JMC Development and Wolfe House Building and Movers are overseeing the daunting task.“Relocation of 120-year old Belleview Biltmore Hotel’s saved 38,000 square feet, containing the historic hotel’s lobby and 35 guest rooms, will roll on 47 computerized carts, to its new foundation and will become the longest continuously operating Henry B. Plant-built hotel when renovations are completed by mid-2018,” the companies said in a press release.
Condos, townhomes and carriage homes are planned for the site. The existing section of the hotel will be used for a boutique hotel.
The move is expected to take hours
You Just Can Not Make This Up
Ybor City is the most wonderful unique place on Earth!!! The locals live their lives by 4 simple rules.
#1 Don’t Judge, #2 Don’t Criticize, #3 Don’t Complain, #4 Just Get Involved with the Community!!
Almost any goes and is enjoyed by everybody. So it shouldn’t have been surprising that during the Holidays there were 2 very large Christmas Parties going on. The Santa Jingle Bell Ball and Hallucination Before Christmas https://www.facebook.com/hbcevent/ .
Late in the evening a homeless street guy stopped a police car in the middle of 7th Ave. We could tell he was very upset and the police officer got out of his car to follow the homeless guy…. the homeless guy took the office to a door way. There was a drunken Santa passed out…cold. The police called an ambulance. The ambulance came. The homeless guy never left Santa’s side and walked next to him on a stretcher to the ambulance.
After the ambulance left the homeless guy went back and sat down on the streets, asking for money.
We walked over and gave him $10 he said, “Thanks now I have enough to stay in the shelter tonight.”
He got up and walked away. At times it’s easy to forget that homeless are people with hearts too.
Lighted Holiday Boat Parade in Tampa
A trek to Town n Country to see the Holiday Lighted Boat Parade Party from the backyard shores of Mark & Dan of the Tampa Brigadoon Krewe. Great view of the festive decorated boats and I met a lot of new people. Their bar is tremendous and very impressive.
