Life on Florida’s West Coast

I Made Tampa a Party Town

OK, so not literally, but according to Maxim Magazine, the number of divorces here is one of the factors that has made them name Tampa one of the Top 10 party cities in the nation

As much as we are known for the Bucs, the Bulls, and our sunny weather, we are also known for Ybor City, strip clubs, peep shows and lingerie shops, modeling agencies, divorces, residents’ median ages, colleges in the area, 24-hour restaurants, gaming laws and condom sales.

Miami got Maxim’s top spot. That’s no surprise to me.

I’m not thrilled with the award, personally. I think Tampa offers more in the way of tourism and our more than 800 events each year, ranging from the Gasparilla Day parades and pirate invasion to smaller events that people something to do just about every weekend of the year.
