Ed Turanchik's Top Ten List
Tampa mayoral candidate Ed Turanchik lists the top ten things that he won't do if elected mayor.
Pushing Rope Fifth Anniversary
A Case For My Favorite Beer

Besides being delicious, it is brewed here in Tampa. I bet those workers appreciate us drinking their beer. Anheuser-Busch dosn't brew beer here anymore. They are not even owned by an American company.
You are sending your money to Belgian and Brazil.
Yuengling is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States.
Help your neighbor keep his job. Drink Local.
For a complete list of local eateries visit Tampa Locavore.

Are racing on Fletcher Ave and kill Robert J. Niebalec, of Temple Terrace, who was riding his bicycle east on Fletcher on the paved shoulder. How Sad!
here
"It has been my experience that the motorists are very aggressive and there is generally disrespect of bicyclists by motorists, What's sad is there is nothing inherently dangerous about riding a bicycle.
The mere act of riding a bicycle shouldn't cost you your life.
Unfortunately that is the case in the Tampa Bay area."......Alan Snel

Turanchik took note of West Tampa during his failed bid to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to Tampa. In 2000 and 2001 Turanchik–a former county commissioner–and a group of supporters lobbied to bring the games to Tampa Bay, scouting possible event locations. Part of the plan called for an Olympic Village to be constructed on North Boulevard. That’s when West Tampa caught his eye. “It just has good bones,” he says of the 110-year old community.

"I was there when we had problem in 1967, walked the streets with racial unrest. But this is a very friendly, very loving city. Even back during the riots, if somebody wanted to hurt somebody, they could have. They didn't. It was more like a panty-raid type thing. I was there, I was on the street."......Dick Greco
"Dick just said the first time he was mayor, he made HCC take the land to stop "them" from building more low housing projects like they did on Nuccio. Ybor is a jewel. Seriously blacks in Tampa this man keeps telling us to kiss his ass. And we have some dumb asses supporting this man.".....Ella K. Coffee
