we all scream

I asked your opinion on the one physical thing that would make Tampa Bay better. Although I clearly intended to avoid the “mass transit” issue, some of you couldn’t help yourselves. But apparently, that’s the only thing we really need.

Instead of asking for a mountain range, a NASCAR racetrack, or a fortune 500 company, you only want to improve the things we already have. Proposals range from “better placement of existing facilities (football & baseball stadiums, downtown business centers, Chinese food delivery),” to “add more existing facilities (architectural icons, parks),” to “improve the existing facilities (art and science museums, parks, waterways),” and, of course, development issues: “less sprawl,” “walkable neighborhoods,” and “affordable housing.”

Not that we don’t need some of those things, but I guess I was looking for some “outside the box” type of answers. Domoni offered a “huge lightning rod… taller than the Sears Tower” which would certainly be cool. Someone should check into doing that.

At any rate, here’s the subject for this third Thursday in August: If Tampa Bay was ice cream, what flavor would it be?

    Vanilla. Plain, ol’, no bean-bits vanilla. That ought to please Rhonda.

    Neapolitan. Lots of different flavours, but highly segregated.

  9. [...] Tampa is not ice cream. With an overwhelming show of apathy, there were only a few responses to the lame old “what flavor” question. Best on the short list was tim’s answer of “highly segregated Neapolitan.” Sandy gets an honorable mention with “Plain ol’ Vanilla.” [...]
