And if you visit Tampa, you should check out the old cuban quarter called "Ybor" City...looks like New Orleans architecture. The Spanish Restaurant (not cuban) The Columbia is located there to. (at least the original location is) You can tour some of the old cigar factories get a taste of "old Tampa"

LOL Have your ears checked Bombero, we have thousands of Monitors here in the Cape!! Enough to get the government to send people down here to take care of it!! We have so much land here that has been wild, and now there is so much construction they are showing up in neighborhoods!!

Yes!
The Columbia is a wonderful place to eat!
Years ago, there was also one called Las Navidades. At least I think that was the name. Do you happen to know if it is still there?
