Cruise Ship passengers say the craziest things!!! One Friday Night, on the balcony at Hamburger Mary’s in Ybor City, at 10PM there was this young couple from some small town up north. They were so excited about going on their 1st cruise. I had been taking care of them all night and they had just finished when asked them where they were going next? They asked me for a suggestion. So I was telling them to take a fun walk on 7th Ave. I went on to described some of the colorful people. Being Friday night I said “On one corner will be the religious right all telling us that we are going to hell. On the other corner is PFLAG telling us we are loved. The young girl asked what is PFLAG. I said Parents and Friends of Gays & Lesbians. With a surprised look she said “WHAT you have Gays & Lesbians HERE!!!?? I have never meet a Gay guy before. WOW!” I just smiled and said “I’m sure you have you just didn’t realize it.” She replied back to me (A Big Queen) “NO I WOULD KNOW A GAY GUY IF I SAW ONE!!!” Her new husband then asked “We would really like to go dancing. What’s the best club to go to?” I just couldn’t resist…. and sent them to The Honey Pot. A big GAY Club. Hum do you think she saw a Gay guy there?!? LMAO

USF’s New Morsani College of Medicine & Heart Institute Starts Constr.
USF Bull flags were flying high in the air in the newly named Tampa Water Street District. The location is right across the street from the Amalie Arena and the Channelside District. The 50 acres of prime downtown development had Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and local politicians, USF President Judy Genshaft, USF medical and administrative staff, TB Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and real estate developers and happy residents claiming a new historical day in Tampa. The long awaited new USF’s Morsani College of Medicine & Heart Institute had the big equipment operators salivating to start and complete the huge redevelopment in 2 years.
The present USF Medical College is located on the main USF campus 12 miles north of Tampa. The new facility will be closer to Tampa General Hospital a partnership with USF Health, where a lot of on hands residency research & medical work takes place. Already in downtown Tampa is the USF Center for Advanced Learning and Stimulation.
History, in 1971 the USF Medical School opened. Two years later the USF Nursing School opened.
Tampa should be proud to be the established medical facility, medical research and health center in the country. Tampa will no longer be the same!

You Just Can Not Make This Up
Hurricane Irma was on her way to Tampa. Several of us were helping Hamburger Mary’s Ybor get ready. The restaurant was closed, Mark & Bryan were working in the main dinning room. A homeless guys with wild hair came shuffling in. We tried to tell him that we were closed today. He just continued walking then stopped picked up a chair and…. threw it at us. He was screaming that he was going to fu*king kill us. WELL, we do crazy all the time but this was too much even for me. We went out to the balcony and got Manager Phil (All 6″3″ with big muscles) and Carrie. Phil walked up to him and told him that the police had been called and he needed to get out now. On his way out he took Bryan’s cigarettes. Screaming they were his cigs. LOL It felt with the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the fortune teller-Wizard just sent Dorthy home during the storm. “Hope she makes it home OK.” I thought to my self where do the crazy homeless go during a hurricane? Hope he makes it thru OK. The next week we saw him again on the street. Guess he made it OK thru the hurricane.
