SoHo Tampa, the best chronicler of nightlife in the Bay area, focuses on the stretch of bars and restaurants along S. Howard Avenue. The city taking away 100 parking spaces? SoHo Tampa covered it.

Sharpe’s alliance with the Sticks of Fire blog will only make this website even better. www.sohotampa.com.
