Tampa Theatre

Tampa Theatre Stage

The Tampa Theatre is one of the few remaining movie palaces in this great nation. Built in 1926, it avoided demolition in 1973 when the citizens of Tampa rallied to save it. It prompted the city to buy, restore, and fill it with concerts, screenings, and special events. Thank goodness, too, because what a gorgeous, national treasure this movie palace has become. The theatre is now managed by the non-profit Tampa Theatre Foundation.

Museum Day 2010 | Ringling Museum

I am kicking myself (literally, if I were that flexible) for not being aware of Museum Day until this year. After all, I love museums, and I love free stuff! Which makes a combo of the two absolutely the most delicious thing ever.

What is Museum Day?

It's an annual event sponsored by the kind institution called the Smithsonian where a multitude of museums around the country offer free admission for one day. It's usually at the end of Summer, and on a Saturday.

This first year in which we took part, we decided to descend upon the John & Mable Ringling Museum.

Christmas!

How far away is Christmas?

Isn’t that at the top of every child's mind all year long?

You may think that it is only three months away and it'll be here in the blink of an eye, but for those of you who live in the Central Florida area it's always only a mere 30-40 minutes away.

Cassadaga

"Intriguing" would probably be the best word to describe Cassadaga, FL.

And "creepy".

My understanding of Cassadaga prior to our visit was one that sounded like, "Miss Cleo lives there!" Or something. As in, it's where you would go if you ever need your fortune told. Or if you ever want to communicate with a loved one that had passed on.
