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.”

GaYBOR District Coalition Float
The new GaYBOR President Michael “Sheriff” Wilson and GaYBOR members put on a great show for the St Pete Pride Parade. The float was covered in Rainbow boas, Rainbow flags and 60 Rainbow PRIDE decorated floatees. Being the first night parade for St. Pete Pride was not a deterrent for the GaYBOR partiers. The group has participated in the past 6 years Roughrider’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ybor CIty. Night parades are different but the lights were on and the glitter flew.
Metro LGBT Welcome Center
The Grand Showing of the new Metro LGBT Center in St Petersburg on Central Ave. The new center will house GLBT young room, Grand Central Board and an welcome center in St. Pete.
This is the third GLBT Welcome Center in the United States.
The rooms need to be repaired with donations already giving air condition to the new facility. Hundreds of donors, sponsors and area community leaders came to see the progress of the new future Welcome Center.
Metro Wellness & Community Center CEO, Lorraine commentesd they are in need of donations and people or businesses can have a room plaquered with the company or people’s name for each of the rooms to be finished.
“The air conditioning just was finished installed and turned on for the open house today.” said Lorraine. “We have tenants that are moving in next month so we really need to act and get the needed donations for finishing this Welcome Center.”
Another great undertaking by Metro Wellness.
To donate or to help and volunteer services contact Metro Wellness & Community Centers in St. Pete.
