I Am Sick And Tired Of Talking About Panhandling

Last night's South Tampa Candidate Forum marked the 200th time (more or less) that I've been asked to give my opinion on the issue of panhandling in the City of Tampa. Enough is enough. Of all the major issues facing this city in the 21st century.

Mary Mulhern i am so disappointed in you. Maybe you should join
Susan Long who is basing her whole campaign on the issue, Kelly Benjamin calls it "absolutely 100% tragic", i call it disgusting. I don't know why i continue to support you on my blog. Maybe we can send them to The Licata Bridge. These people have a face and a name, Help Them!

Tampa's Mob Spots

The hidden history of Tampa’s underworld is often intertwined with some of the city’s most cherished landmarks and popular restaurants. Tampa really didn’t have the storefront social clubs popular in cities like Boston and New York City. But Tampa did have more than its share of lounges, bars, restaurants, and newsstands where bolita bets were taken, baseball odds conveyed, drug deals went down, and local gangsters held sit-downs with visiting crime figures from New Orleans, New York, and Chicago.
