      We would like all are Friday Extra Concerts back at Lowry Park. It is the only park activity in N.Tampa. Downtown has a lot of activities, Curtis Hixon has no trees, benches, handy parking, and the traffic going in town at that time is to busy. Lowry Park has that great band shell which needs to be used, and everything Curtis Hixon doesn't. I have attended these concerts for some 20 years and myself and all the people that do attend these for that long should not have had them taken away so that Downtown, Hyde Park, Ybor City, and the S. Tampa area could have more to do. Enough is enough N. Tampa wants our music back plain and simple, we may not have the money the people downtown and those areas have, but I have lived here my whole life, born and raised, I pay my taxes just like the rest, give us are music back. That is my soap box rant for now. Thank You and Have a Blessed Day(hope I didn't offend ya) Collapse
