Hillsborough County news
Saturday evenings in lonely downtown
The last time we went to the Tampa Theatre a few weeks ago to see the terrific actor Billy Crudup in Jesus' Son, we were panhandled. It was a Saturday night, and, as usual, we were too late to get the really prime on-street parking on Zack, so we had to swing around the theater to Polk and park there between Florida and Franklin. On that block, one side of the street is the side of the Tampa Theatre; the other is the side of another building -- a brick wall, no entrance. In other words, there is no earthly reason to be on the block unless you are parked there.
