New Mead Brewery Softly Opens

Posted on November 18, 2014 by admin

A community invitation for the new opening of Cigar City Cider & Mead bar on 15th Street in Ybor City. A different type of bar. The old Roosevelt 2.0 and further back Tampa Bay Brewing Company have again evolved to an alcoholic blend of Mead!

Mead is a very old ancient drink made by fermenting a concoction of water and honey. Added fresh fruit flavors are also being created and available. So the addition of mead to Cigar City Brewing Company making of craft beers is in harmony for the brewmaster and owner Joey Redner.

Cigar City Cider & Mead also have craft beer from Cigar City Brewing Company on tap for your enjoyment.

The bar is open daily located at 1812 North 15th Street across from MC FILM!

Ybor Decorates Streets for Holidays

Posted on November 18, 2014 by admin

This week you’ll notice a lively holiday flair on 7th, 8th & 9th Ave. The Annual Ybor City Holiday Spirit had many groups of friends, businesses and Ybor City organization coming together to help bring holiday cheer to all visitors and workers in the historic district. Though the temps were in the 80’s the crews had a great time putting up garland wreaths.

The party is just beginning with the Lighting of the Holiday Tree in Centro Ybor on Wednesday night at 6pm for spectators to glaze upon. Many celebrities including Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and city officials will be there to light up the holiday centerpiece tree.

Old Becomes New in Tampa

Times are a changing from just a few years ago. In Ybor City 44 properties were sold in June alone to an investment group that purchased well adorned boutique Don Vicente Historical Inn, Blue Ship Building, the old Frankie’s Patio, the historical Olivia Cigar Factory among large property purchases. Many vacant lots and city properties are also in the investors coffures.

Yes, change is coming to the Historical Landmark District. New planned apartments on the drawing boards, new renovations to existing structures and a couple of announced hotels being planned to accelerate all the historic existence of Ybor City.

Yes, we all love the old culture and aspects but especially true when it is turning our quaint historic district into a well polished sparkling gem. More major changes are soon to be announced in Ybor City but mean while take a look and take in all the climate of Ybro City while gigantic changes are transforming in the Channelside District.

Square Plaza Apartments

The date was February 3, 1980. The U-Haul truck was all packed and we were heading to Florida. All excited we were looking for a apartment close to USF and the VA Hospital in Tampa. Our first stop was at a nice complex in the USF area in North Tampa. We walked in and asked if there were any 1 bedrooms available or 2 bedrooms.

The leasing agent said to us, “WE DO NOT RENT TO HOMOSEXUALS!” We both looked surprised and said, “Who said anything about us being Gay?” She replied, “Only HOMOSEXUALS would ask for a one bedroom.”

Welcome to Tampa LOL. Our next stop was at Square Plaza on 30th street next to the VA Hospital.

We asked again “Do you have any 1 or 2 bedrooms.” She said the 1 bedrooms were all gone. She did have a nice 2 bedroom on the ground floor.” We both said YES! Then the leasing agent asked us, “With no jobs and all your belongings in a truck, why should I rent to you?”

We smiled and said, “How about we pay the first 6 months in advance?” She smiled and said “I am Brenda, When do you want to move in?”

In that 1st apartment we had many 1st’s including 1st home in Florida, 1st Thanksgiving, 1st Christmas, new jobs, our education and we made many new friends and memories there.

Now fast forward to November 2014. We were going to the VA Hospital to get flu shots when we noticed next door…… The VA Hospital had purchased the apartment complex and were starting to tear it down.

WOW have things changed since that time and WOW have some things not changed! Just this week in 2014, some friends of ours were turned down for being Gay. The reason is still the same.

Only the excuses & terminology have changed.
