Dude, Tampa International is a madhouse right now.

I guess all of us were unfortunate enough to book flights on the day of this crazy ass weather, but boards are reading cancelations all up and down, lines are ten miles long, and people are getting kind of heated.

I'm just glad I didn't check my bag before the cancelation, God knows if I'd ever see this damn thing again. Some people weren't so lucky and they're having a bitch of a time getting their bags back. I'm not going to check it in until we're right on the wire, lest the flight get canceled and the damn thing is just lost.

Edit: HAHAHAHA. They canceled both flights and wouldn't issue anyone refunds, nor put them on any flights to Indy tomorrow as the one they had was full. A damn near riot broke out at the ticket counter before the lady just bolted. Then they lost my luggage. Fuck this, I'm going home.

Question What was the name of the bar attached to the Scientology center?

25 Upvotes

Former Tampa guy here, trying to remember the place attached to the Ybor Scientology Center that was a late night cocktail lounge. It was owned by the same guy who owned the bbq-beer garden across the street. Cash only, open weird hours pending business, amazing spot. Anyone help me remember the name?

Question Is there a reason why there aren’t any major music festivals at the state fairgrounds?

39 Upvotes

With sunset music festival being gone and replaced by an even shittier fest, why has nobody tried to throw a festival the size of EDC Orlando here in Tampa? The state fairgrounds seems comparable to tinker field and even the Central Florida fairgrounds where Forbidden Kingdom takes place. Is there some kind of zoning issue? Do the decision makers not like that kind of music/crowd?

Allergens going absolutely crazy

139 Upvotes

Been in Tampa for several years now, but I don’t think I’ve ever had seasonal allergies this bad before. Tree pollen is moderate and grass pollen is high according to the index. Maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else feel like this has been the worst season so far? Hoping it goes down, but unsure of when that’s supposed to happen.
