Wrong there yeah so for people who don’t know ebore city was the Latin District was the cigar District um historically still is yeah it now has a lot of nightclubs and they’re trying to convert it over to daytime activities like this um Saturday market that’s been here for

Quite a while now I don’t know since we have our um LEL mics in if you can hear Too much background noise but in the background here you’re going to hear a ton of roosters crowing and that is a really famous part of eore City are that

There are a ton of chickens here see them right over there a ton of chickens everywhere you can definitely hear them in the background a lot so look forward to seeing a few chickens and things so um yeah 7th Avenue is the main stretch we covered a little bit of ebore

Were here maybe a year ago now we accidentally stumbled into the St Patrick’s Day Parade that’s true that’s what that was fun we didn’t know what it was we were seeing some friends at the um Tampa Bay Rum company I highly recommend really fun place homemade rum

Ended up in the middle of the St Patrick’s Day night parade we did um I broke my shoe you were Barefoot cuz your shoe ripped off Barefoot for like two miles true we got so many beads cuz it’s like a New Orleans style you know kind of

Parade and uh yeah so every time you come to eor there’s something crazy going down yeah know it’s a fun place I literally thought I was going to come here and get a slice of pizza but it wound up being quite the outing as usual it’s a fun adventure highly recommend

And this is one that I just root for and I want to you know like I have a lot of pride in and I I I want to see to see well you know I want to see eore do well I want to see Tampa do well and I want

To see some of our historic sites um really Thrive so this area like we said earlier um was very um important they would import Cuban tobacco yes and roll it neore and then up the train system the plant Railroad through the United States and then when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened thank

You um this area is shut down cuz you couldn’t get the Leafs anymore I mean they get stuff from the Dominican but it just shut the area down right so there’s been a Resurgence in the area and I like to see old areas do well whether that’s

Through little markets this is us or whatnot I’m just happy to see ebore doing well people being friendly and it being safe so that was a victory of a trip and yeah make sure to check it out okay so one other thing I like to do is

Give a shout out to some of my more recent favorite YouTubers today we’re going to focus on three it’s Beast philanthropy that’s Mr Beast and he does a lot of good things for the world just makes me happy that Jimmy is a very positive person doing good things so

Shout out to Beast philanthropy go check that out and subscri subscribe just like you subscribe here um 20 seconds in Thailand I’ve been following that channel since they had about 200 subscribers and it’s fun to see Thailand Rob living out his dream in Thailand um and using YouTube as the vehicle that

For the last decade with for the last decade and that is a channel that has always inspired me because they made their own movie on Amazon that’s incredible that’s kind of like Someday my retirement when I want to you know pull away from some of my other projects

I want to do that sort of thing I think that’s really cool so good thing um bright Sun films they do great things they do great document documentaries and when I’m editing and I’m working on all my social media projects I usually have one of those three channels on in the

Background so go subscribe to them all right so maybe it’s time to sum up our activities first what do we pick up so these are our two coasters that we got from LEF Fran and I will say that these are the Vibes that I’m trying to bring

To my life my life goals in two in two coasters like this is what I’m trying to be the store clerk said you said those are beautiful bangs yeah and then he said you have to do a lot of l d to get bangs like that you got to go

To Jupiter to get bangs like that exact quote you got to go to juper Jupiter and back to get those kind of bangs and then um let’s see you know it was fun to wind up in the pride event we didn’t know the parade is starting in an hour or two

We’re going to skip the parades cuz we got stuff we got to get done but um it’s nice to see it back I guess it was canceled last year because of well we’ve had a lot of new laws unfortunately here in Florida and you know a lot of sponsors pulled out and

Um it pulled out for the was it when was the event supposed to be June I think in June and they were kind of afraid like we don’t know if we’re going to get sued we don’t know exactly what these laws are they don’t make sense um so

We um finally rescheduled and I think um we moved locations from the river walk walk which is open air and next to um the bay in Tampa um to eore which is a little more closed in so if you do have a drag event or anything like that that they can

Ensure that it’s 18 and up yeah so they had to restrict the area to 18 and up for tonight is crazy but um you know um we’re just glad to see it back all right well thank you for joining us this is the time where we ask you to subscribe
