como k mez de la herencia hispana? quiza queriais decir mes es increible lo vuestro con las eses
My father was a director of sanitation in Tampa and he would talk about the mafia and the garbage industry in years past.
Sad to see what we had, especially when it was just a few streets from when I live. Current one is okay for what it is, but I wish they would expand to directly serving neighborhoods like before.
James, this is an excellent presentation about a subject I knew so very little about. Thank you
Thank you
Who made this?..im from there..uuummm..i dont think this info is acurate in any way
super!!!!
I visited the Plantation and the guided tour was fantastic; worth the drive!
How do I find out about my family in specific, being as we pioneered the lands there.
Jr High school and High School had Cuban sandwiches available if the main lunch was not preferred. I had them a LOT! I thought all schools in all cities had Cuban sandwiches. Now, were these perfect? No! They were not pressed but the layers were there. Love a good, thin, pressed Cuban sandwich to this day! A side of devil crab makes me happy, too.
He had a place in history, but not really the kind of person you want to "celebrate". Considered one of the cruelest Spanish conquistadors.
'Memories of the Underdevelopment' film features fishbowl scenes.
Tampa should be so proud to have such an amazing festival and a wonderful community i’m always so surprised that so many people are unfamiliar with Gasparilla
Ponce cabin found on canal off the entrance to the Anclote River At Tarpon Springs where there is a special SPRING!
I don't even want to think about Florida without air conditioning.
Hello, what maps show ( should I be looking for) the ship wrecks on the east coast from the 1500's 1600's and 1700's? Thank you.
Thanks for uploading this wonderful lecture!
My Grandmother , Suzie Hedick Cox's family owned the Hill having bought it just after the end of the Civil War and was a working plantation. At the time the Hill was called Tiger Tail Hill... and was often referred to as Snow or Hedick Hill in homage to those families living there. The Hill later changed hands many times to where it is today.
Gentrification is disappearing these neighborhoods. Few people who currently live in the Port Tampa area of Tampa probably know that used to be an African American neighborhood. I spent my childhood here.

Did the afro cubans were sent to New York City while white cubans were allowed to stay in Florida?
Awesome event. So wish I was there in person but the recording is much appreciated!
Dr. Longo sent me!

I dint knew that flag look like that bc i live in tampa
It is horrible, ugly, and needs to be updated. This flag has no civic pride, it's truly awful in every way possible.
I loved this. I lived in Tampa and it is my favorite Florida city. Thanks for the great talk about our national hero.
And Searle was from Jamaica not Barbados
Who is this guy the “story” of Jack rackham Ann Bonny Mary Read are real there’s actually historical documents that they existed including the trial record of them in Jamaica and the death record of Mary Read in Jamaica
Of course Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Jack Rackham were real, they just weren't in Florida. Perhaps you didn't watch the entire presentation.
Okay Dr. Armstrong, I was just surfing when I came upon your research here. Very beautifully done, I was enlightened, & educated. Thank you.
Enjoyed the entire video Dr. Armstrong! I also learned a few things along the way too. I've never forgotten where I came from. Thank you.
Awesome Job, Dr. Lisa! I'm so proud to have you as my cousin!
Thank you for sharing this incredible research Dr. Armstrong!
I'm a decedent of the Snow and Hedick families whom owned the Hill at one time
I would love to volunteer there, but it's a bit too far for me to drive. Btw my ancestors were one owners of Chinsegut Hill... Snow was one of those and I know my paternal grandmother, Suzie Hedick, grew up there with her grandparents.
Great work on this video. Great job indeed young man.
I'm sure there had to have been movement in those tunnels.

This is really good stuff, thanks guys

The Standard Station transitioned into Kentucky Fried Chicken first.
All a tilt/shift lens does is project the image on the film that's not on a plane perpendicular to the lens. It's like projecting a slide on a screen that has the top closer to the projector than the bottom of the screen. The effect is, the image at the bottom is smaller and effectively reverses the illusion seen with the eye or lens. The effect of raising a camera higher brings the lens closer to the top of the building and further from the bottom--you are essentially shooting more on the level than pointing upward.
Chip, NO NO NO, That's NOT lens distortion and that's not parallax distortion.(13:34) The apparent convergence of parallel lines is just a natural occurrence of vision because further away objects look smaller. The base and the top of the building are the same width, , but the top is much further away from a bystander on the street than the base of the building, so the top appears smaller and the parallel lines (verticals) seem to converge. It's actually an illusion. Your eye sees things the same way, but your brain is very good at altering your perception of it, it tells you, "those walls are parallel" because you know they are, so you don't really notice the convergence that much until you see it on a flat photo. If you back up a mile from the beer can building and take a photo, the difference in distance from the camera to the top of the building is virtually equal to the distance from the camera to the bottom of the building. So the building walls do not seem to converge. Proof that this isn't lens distortion is use the same lens for close up on the street and far away. You won't see the convergence effect as much in the photo from far away, even using the same focal length lens. A shift lens can correct for the convergence effect, but nowadays it's easier to alter it with photoshop. And the Burgerts did use a shift lens very often. You can see it in close up photos of buildings but yet the sides are parallel. It greatly exaggerates the size of the top of the building. (Wide angle lenses DO distort, but that effect is a "bubble distortion.") Parallax is a shift of what you see through a viewfinder and what the camera lens actually sees in a camera that is not "though-the-lens" view. Its effect is greatest in closeups. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax
Thank you so much for this guys! I’m one of the many Cuban Americans who have made of Tampa Bay their HOME. Proud of my deep roots in this city and the island itself. But sad about what selfish stubborn people have made of it currently (the island). Thank you for bringing out our history to our city. I’ll be taking my little kid . Hopefully he’ll enjoy connecting with his roots.
Even after all of the unique designs you describe, you still had to write your name on it. That tells me that it's still not doing a good job of representing Tampa.
That is the official seal of the city!

Nice Gentlemen
"We may give out, but we'll never give in." ... My friend Gary Zajac used to say that often. R.I.P. dear Gary.
Adding to my 🪣 list....
Love to hear about Ybor history. My family came from Spain & worked in the cigar factories but I'm pretty sure they weren't running anything 😊. My abuelita even volunteered at the museum in Ybor almost until she passed.
