SHAME on Russia
Many groups of people in America are calling to BOYCOTT all Russian Vodka & also the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The public & government LGBT attacks need to stop now. Actor & GLBT activist Harvey Fierstein wants a boycott for the Russian mistreatment and inhumane treatment of all GLBT residents and visitors. Harvey stated on MSNBC , “Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, has declared war on homosexuals,”
Russian President Putin signed two recent laws affecting GLBT visitors. One allowing police to arrest any tourists or foreign nationals od suspecting to be gay or “pro gay” and to be detained for 14 days.
The 2nd is not allowing and banning Russian born adoption to any gay or gay couple to any couple or single parent living in a country where marriage equality exists in any form..

People R Talking
Guess who was eating at Hamburger Mary’s in Ybor? Hint; Who just had a concert at Tropicana Field after the Ray’s Baseball game this past weekend? Vanessa Carlton enjoyed her burger lunch and signed autographs to surprised & well wishing fans. Vanessa’s new mega music hit, “A Thousand Miles.” is on a national singing tour and on the top music charts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwkej79U3ek
New excitement as Green Iguana legendary bartender Karen showed off the newly installed beer taps at the Iguana’s main bar. With the new decorative beer spouts newly installed, Karen and staff may hold an impromptu bar party. One never knows what will happen. Maybe a spontaneous 7th Ave parade again! The new 7-11 Store proposed in the old jewelry store on 7th Ave. in Ybor City is in motion at the city’s downtown construction & permitting services. What a time to go north. Scott W. & Mike Olds headed north to Chicago to cool off from the hot Tampa summer weather. That they did, as temps were in the cool upper 40’s at night and this is the middle of summer!
The unofficial antquaited “Ruins of Ybor” on North 15th St. are being looked into as the Old Yellow building (old Impulse Bar) has 2 new standing cement brick walls and metal poles supporting partially collapsed burned out old brick walls. It has been 30 years since the buildings fire and the old burned out ruins have just been a sore sight to Ybor! Let’s move on!!!
The newly painted frontage to cigar and coffee shop King Corona and the next door art studio looks marvelous Mr. Don Barco!
Internationally Pope Francis said in a news conference on board his jet flying back from Rio to the Vatican, that, “gay people should not be marginalized and that he has no right to judge them if they have goodwill.” Boy, that is sure a change from the past pontiffs. The religious professors will have a lot to ponder and learn.

Christmas in July BINGO
Congratulations to Mathieu Stanouch on another successful BINGO for The Historic Holiday Spirit in Ybor City. Kudos to the GaYBOR District Coalition Board. 6 GaYBOR board members volunteered their free time to work & support this BINGO. The Christmas decorated Hamburger Mary’s sardine packed Bingo players had a great time. And a ‘ Full Wheel Barrow Full of Booze’ was raffled off! Amy DeMillo had surprise assistants, Santa and Mrs Santa who helped host the holiday event. Also along with a few drinks singing, Melanie Minyon performing her holiday classic, ” 12 Drinks to Christmas ” pageantry song!
Yes, that is classic!!!
You Can Not Make This Up.
Every weekend GaYBOR/Ybor welcome 10’s of 1,000’s of visitors. Actually a very small town in many ways. Everybody who lives-works here basically know everybody else. That is why this is so GaYBOR/Ybor. Late one night a famous bartender was out having many, many,cocktails. We will call her Mary Sue. She stumbled out of the bar and right into the arms of local police office. With out missing a beat Mary Sue looked right at the officer and said “Oh Hi…Officer (name) You better help me get a ride home before we call the POLICE!!” The police here are our friends too. The office smiled and said “Yes you are right LOL LOL LOL” Then he stopped a friend of Mary Sue and asked them to give her a ride home. LOL LOL
