We spoke too soon!

So much for the nice weather. It rained last night and the temperature dropped. As of 11:15 A.M., it is a brisk 55 degrees and windy. Hopefully it will warm up in time for the game.
For those of you coming to the Gasparilla Celebration, that is coming up on Saturday, February 7th. If the weather is nice we can expect some large crowds. In this economy, free events should draw more people.
There will be a lot of partying going on for this event as well as The Illuminated Knight Parade the following week on the 14th.

There IS Room at the Inn

According to an article in the Tampa Tribune, there are still rooms available for the Super Bowl. If you’re coming in at the last minute…that’s good news. If you are a business in Tampa Bay…that’s bad news.
During the last Super Bowl that was here, rooms were booked as far east as Lakeland and as far south as Sarasota. I guess the economic climate has slowed things down…even for the Super Bowl.
Now that you know you can get a room…come on down and visit our beautiful city. Negotiate for room rate. AND… if you need a ride, go to http://www.tampabaytowncars.com/ and pick your driver.

Finally! Florida weather is back.

As we ramp-up for Super Bowl XLIII, the weather has returned. The past few days have been cold (at least for us Floridians) and we don’t like it.
But…sunny skies and warm weather are here again. Mid 70’s in the daytime and 50-60 at night. (Can you say “Nearly Perfect?”)
If you aren’t here…we’ll be thinking about you. If you are here…then you know why we love it.

Gasparilla Extravaganza

This Saturday January 24th, will see more than just the opening of The NFL Experience at Raymond James Stadium. If you’re in town, be sure and head down to Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa for the Gasparilla Extravaganza. Known locally as “The Gasparilla Children’s’ Parade,” this is an annual event that kicks of the parade season in Tampa Bay.
This year there will be a Bicycle Safety Rodeo for the kids, a Preschoolers Stroll (for those too young to toss beads in the parade) and the parade itself. Children of the various Krewe members get to ride on the big-people floats and toss beads to cheering crowds.
There will be a fly-over by vintage aircraft and a fireworks display at the end. This is an alcohol-free event in keeping with the family-friendly theme.
Come on down an enjoy the festivities. And remember...if you need a ride, go to http://www.tampabaytowncars.com/ and pick your driver.

Super Bowl XLIII (43)

Welcome to Tampa Bay Town Cars Blog

This blog is an offshoot of our website at http://www.tampabaytowncars.com/ .

It's purpose is to keep our clients from out of town (and some who live here) informed as to what's going on in the Tampa Bay area. And to let you know why we love living here.

For thr next two weeks, all of the hype will be centered around the Super Bowl at Raymond James Stadium here in Tampa.

Beginning this Saturday, the NFL Experience opens on the grounds surrounding Raymond James Stadium. There is a huge tent-city that will house the events. If you come...plan on doing some walking. The area is about ten blocks long by 4-5 blocks wide. (It may be bigger. This is just a visual estimate.)

If you are in the area, be sure to attend the Gasparilla Pirate Extravaganza and Childrens Parade on Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa. this is a family-friendly event that will delight "children" of ALL ages.

The weather looks like it will be perfect...with highs in the low to mid 70's and lots of sunshine.

So come on down and share our beautiful bay area with us. And remember...if you need a ride, go to http://www.tampabaytowncars.com/ and pick your driver.
