There is a documentary about the Bro Bowl that was made a year or two ago, it finally got posted on the You Tube's so I thought I would share it here. The legendary skateboard "bowl", built by the City of Tampa's Parks & Rec Dept. at Perry Harvey Sr. Park. The bowl is still standing, but for how long? Good little doc. featuring historic footage, interviews with locals, celebs and featuring music from some awesome local bands! Enjoy!

Re/Creating Tampa: 101 Ideas for a Better City
David Davisson over at Re/Creating Tampa has been diligently blogging for the past 2 years or so. His blog is like a feed providing highlights from the Tampa blogosphere and sharing random thoughts, interestingness and ideas from non-Tampa media. And yes, occasionally this blog makes the cut! I have never seen a more thorough directory of Tampa related blogs, as the one provided on the margin of Re/Creating Tampa. Well, now you can peruse Re/Creating Tampa, the book "Re/Creating Tampa: 101 Ideas for a Better City". The book is chock full with ideas (101 to be exact) to help make Tampa a better place. From the obvious (#8 Increase the population density) to the creative (#56 Human-Powered Carnival Rides in Public Parks) the list starts off strong addressing one of my favorite topics, the annoyance of overbearing Historic Districts (#1 Innovative Neighborhood Designations). Another gem and the one that probably embodies the essence of the term "Re/Creating Tampa", #91 Return mutual aid societies.
Thank you David for giving us some food for thought!
So, check it out already!
