The Pirates are Coming

This Saturday is the Gasparilla invasion. The parade is on Bayshore Blvd in Tampa. OUR #1 TIP is park in the garages in Ybor City. Then go to the corner of 8th Ave & 15th Street and take the streetcar down town. This has become so popular that now HART brings in a parade of buses to make it go faster. The fair is $5.00 and you will need correct change.

Pirates & PARTY just go together!!!

This weekend the Gasparilla Parties in GaYBOR/Ybor City will have you walking the plank!

There are several facebook pages we always read. “URBAN Tampa Bay” is one of those. United Residents for Better Neighborhoods. Their content is though proactive but TRUE. We especially like a recent article about property purchases in Ybor City https://www.facebook.com/urbnTB/timeline

You Just Can Not make This Up

Posted on January 27, 2016 by admin

Being creatures of habit, sometimes we get stuck in a rut and go the same restaurants over & over. This week we were on Hillsborough and decide to try a different Asian buffet. It was much smaller than our favorite at Britton Plaza. Its was very good. We were sitting right next to the buffet. A lady walks up to the buffet…… and pulls out a fork. She actually started to walk around the buffet tasting everything!!! The servers ran up to her with a plate and said “Please take a plate and take small bit of everything.” She pushed the girl out of the way and preceded to eat off the buffet. We passed on seconds and left.
