Carrie and myself were together for 2 years in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then in 1980 Carrie said that we were moving to some place called Tampa??? On one of our very 1st outings, our professors at USF told us to go to The Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City. Here is a photo of us on that 1st visit in 1980. Over the years we have been back 100’s of times. As for many families, the must do restaurant, when visiting Tampa is the Columbia. All our family; parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters, then nieces and nephews, now great & great-greats have been here. Not only great food, interesting atmosphere and deep in history, the Columbia are generous community supporters. Last year they made a nice donation to Tampa PRIDE. Thank you, Richard Gonzmart. Who would have ever thought that 42 years later we would be living in Ybor City, within walking distance of The Columbia Restaurant? Now every time we drive by and see people taking photos it makes us SMILE!!!!
