i went to Tampa for a conference in late March. unfortunately it was rainy most of the week (with tornadoes the day we went to Ybor City) but it was nice and clear once the conference was over and it was time to go home.

i enjoyed the city; it was like a cross between Dallas and New Orleans.

on with the pics...we don't see enough of the city outside of downtown and Ybor on these forums.

Ok, a little history. IF this is the building I think it is, it was once the home to the Impulse - the first bar to open in Ybor in what became it Ybor renewal in the 80's. Yea, it is no where near 7th avenue.

I was interested in that picture too. Couldn't recognize it by the buildings behind it so I have no idea exactly where that is. I like the photos of the dismal areas. It certainly makes Tampa look urban.

Wow great pics!! Definitely gives Tampa an urban feel, captured places I've passed so many times without giving a second thought so well too. Also props for going to the hood, not many will venture out into those parts.

15th street and 11th ave

Nice photo set of Tampa, LSyd!! :okay:

Thanks for the nice pics....:okay:

You've actually taken pics just a few feet away from where I live lol , nice pics, and respect for getting shots in some of the less photographed grittier parts of town.

At the beginning he said he thinks Tampa is a cross between Dallas and New Orleans. Ybor is kinda like the French Quarter but Dallas?

Good shots LSyd!

You got some good ones that most visitors never get.
