To the boys who just pulled up next to me on Gandy and started filming me:

Was it about my Harris sticker? Did you filming me make you more of a man? Was that the right thing to do? Was it really that funny that a man voted for Harris? Was the video for Snapchat? Just showing your friends how emasculated I am? Or are you gonna send the video to some sort of beta-male/traitor database? Why didn't you stop filming once I noticed you? Are you not only that callous, but that dumb?

Sincerely, someone who doesn't need to feel superior to others in order to be happy.

P.S. No, I'm not gonna take the Harris sticker off -- that's exactly what you want me to do.

Looking for things to do on Xmas!

Hey there! I am flying in for a wedding on Christmas Day (the wedding is the 28th), and my flight lands at PIE around 10 am. I cannot check into the bnb until 3pm.

So I am searching places that may be open for lunch/dinner as I believe I'll need a reservation for that given the day. Also looking for places to explore.

Thank you!!

Minor back bumper issue - need recommendation(s)

My Mercedes bumper got caught on an unusually high curb. Pulling forward, I pulled part of the bumper off the car. It's still (mostly) attached, but needs to be reattached in a few spots. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced shop located in South Tampa? Thanks in advance, Meow

Looking for tennis

Hello, I’m looking for female doubles tennis leagues and round robin meet ups where we just play for fun. I’m a 3.0-3.5 located in town and country. I don’t want to pay thousands for a country club. I was on a nwf league before I moved here. I’m 28 and have a hard time finding leagues that include my age. I prefer clay.

Tampa flugtag steam

So the Flutag was a bust, we parked in Ybor before the event started but every trolley was full, and after 45 minutes, we took an Uber. We stayed at the Flutag for 5 minutes, because it was poorly organized, extremely crowded, hard to see anything and loud.

I don’t want this to come across as a rant. We need to be pressuring our county and city commissioners improve this. Tampa really needs a better public transportation system. It can’t handle the movement of people during large events, especially as we’ve grown, there isn’t enough parking and the trolleys don’t seat enough people. It would be better if they replaced it with an expandable light rail and added more routes. It really doesn’t have to be this way, plenty of cities manage large events just fine.

SUP Water Conditions?

Are any of the surrounding bodies of water safe yet for paddleboarding? I’d usually go to fort desoto or weedon, which i know were super affected by the hurricanes and sewage spills. If not, how long do we think until its safe from flesh eating amoebas? Is there a website where I can check the safety of the water?

RJ Stadium Traffic

I am in town for a memorial service for one of my closest, longtime friends today. I just realized that there’s a Bucs game tomorrow.

I’m staying very close to the Hard Rock Casino.

I rented a car @ my flight departs @ noonish.

Based on the info above and the assumption of stadium traffic, when should I leave for the airport?

TIA

Safest bus routes?

I am pretty young, I moved down here almost a year and a half ago. For almost a year now I've had to deal with a creepy older dude who's old enough to be my dad (or even grandad). I've done all I can to avoid him without changing my daily schedule and taking out of the way bus routes. What would you all consider safer bus routes from Brandon into town n country/temple terrace?

I know some people might say to speak up and I've tried to, nobody listens.

Pet/dog boarding facilities!

Edit to add: not looking for in home services unless a legitimate set up. I JUST had a poor experience with an in home sitter

Hello! I was looking to see if anyone has recommendations for pet boarding facilities in the Tampa and surrounding areas. The most recent post was 8 months ago so I figured I'd make a new one.

I've heard some not great things about Bay Paws in Ybor. I used to be a consistent client at Urban Tailz before they were bought out and loved the staff.

local roller skating rinks

Are there any rinks in Hillsborough or Pinellas, aside from United Skates and Skate World, that have some adult skating culture and/or adult skate nights? (Love United Skates, btw.) How does Skate World compare to United Skates in terms of the vibe/music and the floor size/quality? Thanks and happy rolling.

Salon that can open at 6 am?

We have a special event that begins at 8am, and I'm trying to organize blow-outs for myself and my 2 sisters. Does anyone know any salons that may do this?

Bucs enforcing blackout this Sunday

The only team in the NFL to do this again this season. Maybe they need to look at the reasons why they can’t sell out instead of punishing fans who want to watch another game. The Super Bowl runner up team is in town and they struggle to sell tickets. The season ticket holders they have are dumping seats for $40. Tampa is becoming an embarrassment to the league from a fan support level. And yes, it’s expensive to go to a game but the rest of the leagues cities have figured it out.

Looking for a good Honda mechanic in Tampa

I am looking for a reputable mechanic in the Tampa Area that is not a dealership. I have taken the car to a few different dealers and they can’t figure out the issue, so I’m looking for a local mechanic that solely focuses on Hondas. It is a 2013 Civic EX. Any insight will be greatly appreciated!!!

Affordable and/or good dentist recommendations for emergency root canal and crown

I don't have insurance I pay cash for everything medical and usually can find the discounted medical based on income (mine is less than 12k) but never have had an emergency dental need without insurance. I have terrible tooth pain on a broken molar and am in desperate need of a root canal and crown. And I just got back to town after being gone for 2 years, visiting family for a month.

Can you recommend me somewhere in Hillsborough county that does this and has reasonable rates for one or the other? Quality and reasonable cost is preferred. I don't want to have the tooth pulled

Recommendations for a company/person for Accent Wall

Hi Family,

I’m looking to do a accent wall in my bedroom maybe have some slat design as I am in a apartment.

Having a lot of difficulty finding someone to do it. Someone recommended thumbtack to me but it seemed like those were only painting companies that popped up for me which I assumed wouldn’t come out because it’s not a full room or house job but just one wall.

Anyone have any recommendations?
