We discussed the options and cost of beginner guitar lessons. Eric was so very helpful and patient as I asked questions. He was thoroughly knowledgeable regarding the program for beginner guitar lessons that I was asking about. He had several helpful suggestions regarding my granddaughter taking guitar lessons. I am looking forward to visiting them with my granddaughter in the very near future. Thank you Eric, it was a pleasure talking to you today.

This is an amazing Tampa- based band. You have to check out their original music on Spotify but…read moresuffice to say was super psyched they were playing an acoustic set in their "hometown" of Seminole Heights. Their style is a blend of rock and roll, alt country with a touch of pop. It's a 5 person band and every member is a great musician but their combined musical talent really makes the band. They mix their original songs with some covers- but their covers are off beat and they make them their originals. They are upbeat and fun and I can't say enough about them- check them out on Spotify, Facebook, Twitter and ReverbNation. GREAT original music and catchy tunes- become a Flanatic!

It was during this time that his instructor, Dominic, identified his special musical talents. He now wants to go into a career in music.

The main theater is very large, and depending on where you sit, you can be quite far from the stage. Unfortunately, that can take away from the experience, especially when you're trying to watch a play or see the orchestra. Ticket prices have also increased significantly, and when you add the cost of parking at the public lot across the street, it can make for a very expensive evening. At this point, some ticket prices rival actual Broadway prices, which is pretty insane. Overall, I'd still recommend going to see a show at least once to experience the theater. It's a nice venue and there's a lot to enjoy, but I do think the rising prices and seating distance are worth considering when planning your visit.

The exhibit is setup through a loading dock in the back, but it was really well done, and the setup was really appropriate for the display. If you are a Banksy fan, I recommend going before the exhibit leaves. The last day is September 27, 2026. We spent over an hour looking at the large samplings of his work. It was easy to buy tickets online and there was no issue using our QRcode to get admitted. The event was crowded but we were able to take all the time we wanted to see the exhibit and they had a nice merch selection at the end. The only thing was finding parking ahead of time. Since we went during the day, the parking for the center wasn't directly available. I ended up using the ParkWhiz app to find parking a block or two away, which worked out well. I'd definitely go to another event at this center, as it was easy to get in and out of the area and if you have more time, there are a lot of restaurants nearby and it's not far from river walk or other museum/art destinations.
