Profile Information

If you live in Tampa Bay, Why are you here?
I grew up here and never left
How long have you lived here?
Since birth.
What neighborhood do you live in, why did you choose it and what do you like about it?
I live in Riverside Heights which is located off of Columbus drive next to the river. I live in my grandmother's home which is my mother's and uncle's childhood home. What I love about this neighborhood is the lack of crime and the friendly neighbors who look out for each other. It's a peaceful and diverse neighborhood with people of all ages and culture classes.
If you were to move to a different neighborhood, what would it be and why?
hmm... I haven't really thought of it that much before. I do like Hyde Park, South Tampa, and Downtown. Davis Island and Harbor Island are very nice as well. Maybe one day I will have to make a choice but as of now I'm happy in Riverside Heights.
What is your favorite thing about Tampa?
My favorite things about Tampa are the diversity, the history, and the local music scene.
What kinds of things are you involved in?
As of now nothing really. But I hope to change that in the near future.
If you live in Tampa, Why do you stay?
I was born here and this is where my friends and family are located.
What kinds of things are you interested in seeing on Brand Tampa?
I would like to see positive conversations on grow and change in Tampa. I want to see gaps being bridged!!!

Imperative Thoughts on Homelessness

First and for most we must at all times remember that homelessness is a problem that does not have a solution. Homelessness has been around since the beginning of human existence and will be here until the very day that humans fail to exist. We must not forget this for one minute less we waste our time and resources trying to drown a fire which is fueled by water.
With that said we may continue…

There are three reasons why people become homeless*.

1. They simply choose too.
2. They lack the so… Continue

Where the Ping Pong Flies

In the past ten minutes five ping pong balls have franticly bounced by my feet. Each time a young energetic college student scurried over to pick them up only to return to her table and dip them into a cup of clean water. Laughing and joking with her friends she takes the ping pong balls and tosses them towards a rack of plastic cups a quarter of the way full of cold beer. With two shots at her disposal, she misses the first. With a display of good sportsmanship she shrugs it off. She throws her… Continue

A discourse on the possibility of street music

Late last night a friend and I were sitting around enjoying a few beers when we started brainstorming. It started with a simple question: “What do you do with the homeless?”

My friend - who we will call Chris from this point on (Because that is his name) – made an interesting point. Chris remembered his few trips to New Orleans that he periodically made before the deluge and the one thing that has always been an icon of that city is that the homeless played music. You could walk through their h… Continue

In short, yes I do think more could be done to support an organized, regulated street performance culture. while it wouldn't need to be done BY the city, it would need to be facilitated by a non-profit in cooperation with the city. It could be an especially vibrant element in Ybor City, where I live and work.
