TAMPA BAY

T antalizing metro along Florida western coast

A kin to Miami with strong Cubano influence and affinity

M agnificent sandy sugar white coastline to boast

P uffs of cigars cloud up at cafes and corners in Ybor City

A re there really more strip joints than churches in Tampa city?

B ucaneer football and beach frolicking are the main things

A big draw too for baseball spring training and amusement parks

Y ou'd think there'd be more churches than strip joints, right?

Apparently, strip joints are a big thing in Tampa, as you can discover why
from the Tampa Bay Times

See TAMPA “ GOOD” & “BAD”
