Tampa NEW Riverwalk Finally Opens

The Downtown Tampa Riverwalk that took 6 Tampa mayors terms to start and finish is completed. The 1.8 mile walkway along the Hillsborough River and the Garrison in Channelside to Curtis Hixon Park had its dedication Friday, March 27 in thunderous rainy clouds.

An additional 1/2 mile will be built on the Riverwalk’s north trail up to the newly built Water Works Park. This will be a great walking, strolling, viewing walkway in the center of the downtown district. A big hit for locals and visitors alike.

Eight Tampa Mayors were there for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the other five mayors all cut the new beginnings ribbon.

The start and idea of the Riverwalk Park was started under the 1975 leadership of Mayor Bill Poe. Since then 5 mayors helped give a boost and flavor of the city river front walkway.

The previous Tampa mayors included Bill Poe, Dick Greco, Sandy Friedman, Bob Martinez, Pam Iorio and current Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn were all in attendance for the big event.

Big Changes in Ybor City

This past Saturday at 3:01 AM, while most of us were sleeping a Big Change happened in Ybor City. The New 7-11 Convenience Store stayed open 24 hours. In the past ALL stores & restaurants in Ybor City were forced to close by 3AM. With the new president being set by 7-11, does this mean there will be 24 hour a day restaurants and other stores now open?

GaYBOR’s Labor “Gay” Bar Crawl

Festive partiers burned up the streets Sunday and participated in the Annual GaYBOR Labor ‘Gay’ Bar Crawl traveling to 9 gleeful clubs and restaurants throughout Ybor City. The annual colorful event was coordinated by GaYBOR treasurer, Walter Pinillos, Jesse Joseph and Mark Eary. The annual bar crawls help support GaYBOR community events and other organizations.

A grateful Thank You to Hamburger Mary’s, Ybor City Wine Bar, Cristino’s Italian Restaurant, Dog Bullocks, Reservoir bar, Bradley’s on 7th, Liquid Lounge, newly opened on 15th Street Mist Martini Bar and Honey Pot for their annual ” Labor Day Glow Party.”

TAKE NOTE:

The next GaYBOR District Coalition meeting will be Thursday, September 11 at Carmike Theaters 20 in Centro Ybor. This months speaker is TIGFF Director Margaret Murray talking about the very successful 25th Anniversary of Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival starting October 3-12th.
