I didn't that part but the play area is really fun for my toddler and he loved it. It's a small area but the play sections are very intentional. Other than the blond lady guarding the play area, everyone else was super friendly. I wish they were open for play on weekends but only Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Old Fire Station #3 was decommissioned in 1985 by the City of Tampa…read more Soon after it was purchased by a German developer who did nothing with the property for approximately five years. In 1991 a private citizen, Bruce Redden, acquired the building to renovate into a private residence. Bruce Redden engaged the City of Tampa in a legal fight to push back on the mis-spent energies of the City Attorneys office. The Tampa Tribune wrote an editorial critiquing the City Attorney's effort. (Article attached below) Attached is an early picture of the Fire Station #3 during the ongoing legal fight with the city attorney's office. With the sign attached to the front of the fire station to call attention to the ongoing ridiculous scenario. During the time Bruce Redden owned the Fire Station it was a private residence. Mr. Redden enjoyed living in Hyde Park with his great neighbors. With close proximity to Bayshore Boulevard, the Fire Station hosted Gasparilla Parade parties each year. Bruce Redden owned Fire Station #3, till 1998 when the building was sold to another private owner, Bruce Berg.

I grew up in a town where St. Patty's Day was a big event amongst the adults and college kids. When…read moreI moved down here it seemed a little weird to me that it wasn't as celebrated like we were used to up in the north. Over the years things seemed to pick up around here with the tradition was started in 2012 by former Mayor Bob Buckhorn. It now is an annual St. Patrick's Day festival in downtown Tampa that features the historic coloring of the Hillsborough River green, live entertainment, food trucks, and activities. The event is free, kicks off the St. Patrick's Day holiday, and includes performances, kids' activities, and the official river dyeing ceremony led by the mayor. It takes place at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. The green water goes north and south of the park as well as this year we decided to avoid the huge crowds of the park and went up to Ulele. This is a great free event to be able family and friends too and it just so happened to take place while I had my friend from Michigan in town. To my knowledge she has never ventured over to Chicago to see the original place the green river dying takes place. Though I gotta say, we do have beautiful weather to go along with our river dying vs it being very cold in Chicago in March.

This Event Took Place This Year on Saturday, March 16, 2024 from 11am-6pm. Surprisingly for me,…read morethis was a first for us. Reason is I know the parking is always a shit show, and it sure was. So many meters that were there were covered up, & not able to be used. Parking lots were $30. We finally got on the other side of town closer to the river by Armature works and thankfully that was the free side to park. The River looked pretty cool decked out for St. Patrick's Day. Everyone was walking around joyfully in Green. This was fun for the whole family with lots of festivities, music, & vendors. They even had a dog costume contest which I wanted to see yet we were too busy looking for parking. After the fest, the parade started. It was an hour long and was fun at first then too long for me. They threw lots of beads and goodies out. It was a fun way to celebrate. Afterwards, music at Armature Works. This is cool and everything, & lucky enough to get the parking that we did, but a one and done for us. All these festivities non stop around Curtis Hixon and the river with UT as a view are stunning, but parking is atrocious, & unorganized.

I'd never been to this museum so looked forward to chance to visit. Have to say, I was a little…read moredisappointed. I thought there'd be more art! Was excited to see Egyptian exhibit. I guess artifacts are considered "art". The carving in some of the chests were interesting. And the exhibit of big heads and the graffiti style artwork was very cool.
