RIP: Ybor Native Ferdie Pacheco

Ybor City Native

Dr. Pacheco was born in the immigrant community of Ybor City in Tampa, Florida, to J.D. and Consuela Pacheco. He is of Spaniard-Cuban descent, and bilingual. His father was a pharmacist, and Ferdie sometimes helped out in the neighborhood drugstore owned by his father, sparking an interest in medicine. In his early teenage years, Pacheco got a job as a waiter at the Columbia Restaurant. 

Boxing was a popular sport in Ybor City, with amateur matches regularly held at the Circulo Cubano de Tampa and other clubs and venues around the neighborhood. Though not a boxer himself, Pacheco took an early interest in the sport and attended many bouts. wikipedia

Cross Bay Ferry Gone - Tampa Mayor Not Interested

Still waiting for the Cross Bay Ferry to return? It’s going to be a while.

-----

The ferry experiment connecting the downtowns of Tampa and St. Petersburg was lauded as a success. 

-----

Considering Tampa was one of the four initial partners who covered the trial-run’s operating costs — Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and St. Petersburg also chipped in. Buckhorn’s lack of interest complicated bringing the boat back for a second season. here
