Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

Maxim just wrote about America’s Top 10 Party Cities, and Tampa has made yet another list. We’re number 6:

It’s four o’clock: Do you know where your dad is? He’s probably at one of the city’s 49 strip clubs. That’s more booby-barns than you’ll find in Vegas. Yes, the city’s median age is a list-high 40.45 years, but citizens down 5.41 cases of beer at home annually.

Of course, Mayor Pam says having fun doesn’t necessarily mean hanging out at strip bars or drinking until the wee hours.

Beer consumption, total number of strip clubs and condom sales are part of the data. In calculating the party quotient, they also use the number of 24-hour restaurants, modeling agencies, divorces, gambling laws, residents’ median ages, and number of colleges.

Here’s the entire list:
10. Chicago
9. Dallas
8. New Orleans
7. Detroit
6. Tampa
5. Las Vegas
4. New York
3. Atlanta
2. Los Angeles
1. Miami

Oh - I almost forgot… Meet us at Bobalouies’ for Happy Hour this Friday.
