Tampa, Florida

If you are from Tampa or come to visit we know we lack public transportation. It is no secret that the city of Tampa isn't where they want to be to support the demand for public transportation. Although Tampa lacks universal public transportation, there are still many fun ways to get around the city, aside from the typical buses and taxis. One way of transportation is the Teco Line Street Car. To me, the streetcar is the most "city" like feature for Tampa. It reminds me of San Francisco's trolley cars throughout the city. The StreetCar has 11 total stops throughout Channelside Drive and Ybor City. image from  http://www.tecolinestreetcar.org Listen, I will be honest with you, I personally have never ridden on the Teco StreetCar, but many people use it to quickly get from Downtown Tampa to Ybor City.  For more information on the StreetCar routes and schedules visit,  http://www.tecolinestreetcar.org .

South Howard Avenue is a main road located just outside of downtown Tampa. Along its stretch, SoHo is home to some best restaurants, bars, and trendy boutiques, but I'm going to talk about my favorite things drinks and food! image from:  https://www.tvo.org Let's start with my personal favorite thing to do when making a trip to South Howard... the BARS! If you're over 21 SoHo is definitely the weekend (or weekday, I don't judge) hot spot for a night out. Whether you're looking to bar hop or stay awhile SoHo has a bar for you. If you're visiting Soho and don't have time to hit all the bars here are my personal top 3 must-visit bars. MacDinton's  is an Irish pub that sticks to their Irish roots. There are drink specials every night of the week with Friday being an open bar from 6 pm to 8 pm. Along with...

Hi! Welcome to Tampa, or if you live here hello, I'm happy to have you! I know it sounds like I’m on a Tampa welcoming committee, but unfortunately, I’m not.  I’m Jenna, I am one of the few that can say they are born and raised in Tampa, Florida. Growing up in Tampa has been the best, well I also don’t know any different, so we’ll go with the extreme...Tampa is the best place to grow up! I have family who live up north and every winter, it never fails, I get to brag and say, “I live where you vacation.” When I mention Florida to anyone, the common response I get is “You live in Orlando, like near Disney World?”, nope, not exactly. Everyone LOVES Disney World and that is all they like to think about when it comes to Florida, but there is more! Tampa is one of the smaller market cities and is often combined with the St. Petersburg area. Tampa is a young city that continues to grow.  Living in Tampa I constantly h...
