How times have change - for the worse

Let me first say that Ybor Strip has always been my favorite place to hang out, see, and experience great entertainment after a serious night of drinking. I want to say I've been a patron for more than 10 years, so it is hard for me to see the place go downhill. I hope my experience is not the norm, but I will share it.

For you, literary critics. These are more notes than a full narrative of my experience.

Okay, so I want to say we ended up in Ybor/Scarlet/Vixen Strip during Gasparilla. It was cold and rainy for most of the evening, so we tried to have fun at local bars in the Tampa Bay area and then moved on to the Ybor area.
