I am a fifth or sixth generation Tampan (or is it a Tampon?)...anyway, a girl from Tampa, Florida. I would know how many generations my family goes back if I ever finished our genealogy!! I love Tampa...not a perfect town but rich in history and flavor!
I have found this amazing book by The Turner Publishing Company called Historic Photos of Tampa, Text and captions by Ralph Brower. It is a collection of old photographs from Tampa, many that have never been published, and information about the history of Tampa to go with the pictures. I love this book...in fact so much so that since I have been invited to three parties this holiday season, this will be my hostess/host gift for each party!
If you go to The Turner Publishing Company web page...you will find other amazing books on other cities across America! Perfect Holiday gift!

You are very fortunate to love where you live. Every winter I hate it here just a little bit more! Ugh!
But on the upside, the winter kills off our spiders so they don't get a chance to get really, really BIG! lol
It looks like a wonderful book and a fantastic gift, especially for native Tampons......I mean Tampans. :)
