- A pictorial/video of some of the familiar places in the community of West Tampa. Production of minimal quality on a minimal budget with minimal talent. The only thing I had an abundance of was love for the area I call home. This, and other Tampa themed songs are available at:

I'd also like to remind you that I have various other videos posted about Tampa, including West Tampa (The Remix), Ybor City, Picnic Island, and 3 versions of I Remember Tampa, which is the theme song for the wonderfully entertaining Tampa Natives Show
( www.tampanative... ).
I was born at TGH, went to West Tampa elementary, played ball at McFarlane park, saw the Sombrero go down and Ray J come up and so much more! This video took me back to my childhood and made me laugh, smile and get a bit misty eyed at the same time. I have been away for a few years and I would like to thank you for the 5 minute vacation that you just took me on! Tampa has my bones and thank you!
what kind of souless person thumbs this down? wow... great job, maestro! always loved this one...
You can't please everybody, bro...
WOW - Mike - love this song and re-watch every once in awhile - today is June 25, 2020 and my how things have changed in 10 years !!! Love you! ♥♥♥
Yeah, buddy...the changes have been rapid and dramatic...unlike the love I have for friends like you...always and forever.

I still remember when Kmart was there, now its all remodeled into a furniture store 😔
Love it. I'm still a West Tampa Boy in my heart.❤😎
Thanks for stopping by, George...this was the first of my Tampa Themed songs. I've drawn quite a few comments from others like you, who moved away, but are still a part of this community in spirit. My heart and soul....West Tampa.
This was done about the time I left West Tampa. It was a nice video, thanks for that.
I Love my city...Tampa!
4:00 Mi Pueblo, I used to eat there in the early 2000s for my lunch break while doing contract work for St. Joseph's Hospital. I don't know if it's open any more but I remember the food as being perfect. I'm a white anglo Florida native who sadly probably doesn't have single a Hispanic bone in his body but I so love the Hispanic influence in Tampa. BTW I really enjoy the Tampa centric music in your videos!
A Ghost in the House! Thanks for listening, and for the colorful comment. I don’t blame you for loving Latin food...there’s plenty to love. I am of Cuban descent, but my wife is a blonde haired blue eyed American. But she also loves Latin food and cooks it as good as anyone...pork, black beans, yuca, Piccadillo, yellow rice, whatever...and as for Mi Pueblo...I know it well...my brother was a regular there for the final few years of its existence...also, I knew the owner and her husband. I miss it. Actually, I grew up down the street on Spruce between MacDill and Gomez...as a kid, I used to go there, before it was a restaurant...it was a corner grocery store called Tony’s...a lot of good memories there, as well as in West Tampa, in general, and all of Tampa...which is the reason behind the songs. Thanks again...
i was born n raised in tampa i love this video!!!!!!
Yessir I still be roun there til this day! Been WT since I was 4 💯 wish you would’ve gotten the projects they tore em down bout a good 5 years ago
When times were simple
TAMPA MY LOVE CITY
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Great video 📹
nice.. but u missed all of main st. ,jefferson high, west tampa elm. blake high, west tampa pjs. the brige, the river, ...
best video in the world:]
Great video! I lived across from MacFarlane Park in the late 60s. I still drive through now and then. Good memories!
Thank you for sharing those sentiments, WCFLA. I enjoyed viewing a couple of your videos, as well. We used to pass thru NC every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, in route to the Smokies (TN). You look very much like a West Tampa native...you probably went to school with my children and played ball while I was coaching. Feel free to visit my videos any time you get homesick...there's a West Tampa Remix, Ybor City, Picnic Island, and 3 different versions of I Remember Tampa...Take Care.
@islandlady91 Thankyou for the positive feedback, Islandlady91...hope life is treating you right in the Carribean.
@Tampapix Thanks for the positive feedback. I was limited in time when I shot the photos for this video. I realized when I got back that there was a lot of territory I hadn't covered, including West Tampa Elementary, 4th of July, the Library, the Post Office, West Pines, etc...but I decided to go with what I had. Perhaps in the future, I will do another version, which will include some of the places I missed. By the way, I love your site. I've spent a great deal of time viewing your pictures.
i like it mike... my heart and soul is planted in west tampa...we should get together and shoot a video for this one...what do you think
All in all a great song. Brought tears to my eyes.
Could have put a couple more schools. Cuesta Sixth Grade Center, West Tampa Jr High, Jefferson. Some form West Tampa went to Hillsborough High School depending on the line. St. Joseph Hospital and more around Armenia. Could have done without the nude bars to make it G For Everyone. St. Joseph Church is a good touch. I spent many Saturday mornings in catechism.
Frances Valdes. Thanks for listening and commenting Frances. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.
This video has continued to gain viewers as time goes by. To all of you who have listened and to those of you who have commented, thanks...Yes, I realize there were many places that I missed, and I apologize for not taking the time to be a little more thorough. I hurried through the whole process, and as a result, some key landmarks were left out. If I ever get the chance to produce the song and the video at a higher level of quality,I will make sure I find a way to depict WT from all angles.
tampa the home of my life and so to be mine
My God this is awesome!!! I would love an MP3 if possible
You know you're from West Tampa when you can name every place in this video. It starts off with my office too.
Beautiful. Great music too. Mike, have you ever considered working in some scenes from the heart of WT? Along Howard Ave from Main St. to Columbus Drive?
Good thing you didn't take a ride to my block 😈
St. Conrad St.
Centro Espanol Hospital. :-)
What part of Tampa has the most Cubans ?
I think it would have looked better with more of the vintage photos.
