Tampa Tourist Mission: Downtown and Channelside Cruiser Board Tour

How many tourist missions have we had in all these towns around the world? I love all this time back in Tampa before travel madness starts up again in the spring. It's time for a tourist mission in our own town. Downtown in my neighborhood. I took the cruiser board and my big fat camera for a stroll through and came back with this chill cam dump.

I'm still waiting for the day I actually get a ticket for riding my cruiser board in Curtis Hixon. I've already gotten one just pushing along on the sidewalks of downtown. I passed by a lot of cops tonight. Maybe they've mellowed out. |
If I had enough money for four years of education at this expensive joint here and I knew what I know today, I'm not sure I'd go. The day I graduated from one of these canned learning institutions, I thought I was the smartest dude out. It took several years to realize I was an idiot for thinking that. Oh well, college works for a lot of people. Maybe it will for you. That's University of Tampa. |

It's like Christmas all year long with the lights on this building. This used to be called the Performing Arts Center. I used to love caveman boardsliding the rails out front way back in the day. |
This old abandoned building downtown is called the Kress building. It's amazing inside and needs to be restored into hipster haven or something. |
It's not easy with the white balance when you're shooting at night. I couldn't get this one right and the Tampa Theater lights are looking neon green. They're really yellow. Must be a damn good field trip going on right now inside. |
People that party and eat dinner at 3:30am after the bars close are super hyped on Taco Bus opening in downtown. See you there. |
Dylan Rieder should come to Tampa and end his video part again. |
This tiny little venue on the corner was probably running the scene before any of us were around. I wonder what the history is. |
