Travel lovers should definitely visit the city of Tampa in Florida (USA). This settlement is the third largest in the above region, after Jacksonville and Miami. Its area is just over 440 km ² . According to 2013 data, about 350 thousand people live here.

Where Tampa is located

Florida is the southern state of the USA, it is here, on the west coast of the peninsula, that Tampa is located. The city was founded in 1823. Geographically, the settlement belongs to Hillsborough County. By type of climate, this region is included in the tropical monsoon zone, where hot weather and high humidity prevail. The city is located on the coast of the bay of the same name. The maximum amount of precipitation falls in the summer.

Historical summary

The city was founded at the beginning of the 19th century. But the first European set foot on these lands much earlier – in 1528, almost 300 years before the creation of Tampa. The pioneer is considered a certain Panfilo de Narvaez – a conquistador from Spain. However, his expedition was a fiasco. Of the entire team, only one person survived. He owes his salvation to Hernando de Soto, who arrived on these lands a year later. A fort was named after Hernando in the city of Tampa, as well as a park located in the Gulf of Mexico.

Creation of the city and its development

In 1821 the Spaniards sold the Florida peninsula to the USA. The main purpose of the acquisition was as follows:

• The US government thus tried to reduce the number of Indian tribes raiding their possessions.
• It became possible to eliminate the shelters of fugitive slaves who tried to hide in Florida from the wrath of slave owners from the southern states.

Until 1849, Tampa was a fort, after which it received the status of a village. About 200 people lived in this settlement at that time. Until the mid-1980s 19century, there were no prospects for its development. Tampa was kind of a fishing village. Road connections to other settlements in the region were very poor. The infrastructure is underdeveloped, industrial facilities were completely absent. The low population growth was due to the yellow fever epidemic. The carriers of the disease were mosquitoes that lived in the swamps located nearby.

The economic development of the city of Tampa began in 1883, after phosphate reserves were found in the region. This mineral was widely used in the production of fertilizers. Over time, Tampa has become one of the largest suppliers of phosphate. Since the city is located on the coast of the ocean, the transportation of natural fertilizers was carried out through the port, which also had a positive effect on the economy of the region.

Over time, a railroad was built connecting this settlement with other American cities. These conditions have significantly improved the economic component. Trade picked up and more people settled in Tampa.

Subsequently, more and more industrial facilities began to appear. So in 1885, American businessman Vicente Martinez Ybor, who was of Spanish origin, opened a cigar factory in Tampa. Raw materials were delivered to the port from Cuba, and the finished goods were transported by rail to other regions of the United States. The development of the industry led to the growth of the city. The population grew rapidly, a large number of visitors were from Cuba and South America. By the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Tampa in the United States became one of the largest settlements in Florida, and also received the status of “Cigar Capital of the World”.

The origin of the word

No one knows the exact meaning of the name Tampa. It is known that this word came from the language of the indigenous inhabitants of this region – the Caluza Indian tribe. It is assumed that it meant “fiery sticks”, which is probably what the local peoples called lightning.

There is one more assumption. On maps compiled after 1695, a bay was indicated, which was called Tanpa. Since the Spanish colonists did not understand the language of the Indians well, they took the word “Tanpa” for the designation of the area. After some period of time, the name slightly changed into “Tampa”.

Climate features

The weather in this area is favorable for life. Despite the fact that the summer time is very hot, the thermometer does not exceed 37 degrees Celsius, while in neighboring areas this figure is much higher. Such climatic features are associated with the location of the city of Tampa. Proximity to the ocean is a deterrent to rising temperatures. The greatest amount of precipitation falls during the summer period.

Winter in this region is very warm and dry. The average January temperature is just over 21°C. Freezing is a rare occurrence. Daytime temperature in winter ranges from 20-25 °C, at night it is 10-15 °C.

Tropical air masses cause the formation of hurricanes that hit the Florida peninsula almost every year. However, they pass Tampa by the side. The last time the elements affected the city was in 1921.

Places of interest

If you are in doubt about whether to go here, take a look at the photo of the city of Tampa, there is something to see. Every traveler will find something interesting for themselves. The tourist infrastructure of the city is very developed. Hotels, bars, restaurants and nightclubs sprawl along the coastline. There is a wide variety of entertainment complexes. The cost of rest is much lower than in Miami. Concerts and various festivals are held annually in Tampa, you can visit numerous sporting events.

Holidays in Florida are primarily associated with the sea. There are several excellent beaches in the Tampa area that will satisfy the needs of tourists:

1. Clearwater. Sandy beach located near the city. The shore and the seabed are covered with sand. Vacationers can rent umbrellas and sun loungers, there are also palm trees on the beach, in the shade of which you can hide from the sun.
2. St. Pete Beach. Let’s just say that this is not the best beach in Florida, but it deserves attention. Its northern part is fairly built up with high-rise buildings, but in the south there are plenty of plots suitable for summer recreation. The bottom and coastal zone is covered with sand.
3. Honeymoon Island. The beach is part of the national park area. However, not the entire coastal zone is suitable for recreation. There are many areas covered with sand, but most of the coast is damaged by erosion.
4. Fort de Soto Park. This beach is located in a protected area, in the western part of the peninsula. Here you can watch flocks of birds. There is also a picnic area and a dog beach.
5. Caladesi. This beach is located on the island of the same name, which is located in the Gulf of Mexico, near the city of Tampa. This area belongs to the national park.

Tourists can visit the local zoo, which has about 2,000 different animal species. Also on its territory there is a terrarium, where numerous representatives of amphibians and reptiles are presented to visitors.

Another interesting place is the aquarium. It contains numerous inhabitants of the depths (more than 20 thousand species): mammals, fish, turtles, aquatic plants. Here you can see electric rays, rare sharks, etc.

City attractions

There are quite a few places to visit in Tampa. Consider the most famous sights of the city:

1. Ybor City. This is one of the oldest districts in the city. A large number of enterprises engaged in the production of cigars were concentrated here. Over time, many buildings fell into disrepair. Modern skyscrapers now flaunt in their place. There is a Cigar Museum in the area.
2. Science and Industry Museum. It will be especially interesting for children. Visitors can participate in various experiments, get information about new scientific achievements. Those who wish can experience the effects of a hurricane. The total number of exposures is over 450.
3. Busch Gardens. Great place for entertainment. The park has a zoo, rides and playgrounds for children. The landscape of the park area is very interesting and diverse.
4. Adventure Island Water Park. For outdoor enthusiasts, there is no better place to be found. There are high slides with pools, as well as areas for recreation with small children. The park has many plants and trees that give it a special charm.

Trust me, when you come to Tampa Bay, you won’t have to sit in your room, there are many places where you can have a great time: Museum of Art, Bush Gardens, Hillsborough Nature Reserve, imitation African Serengeti Park, etc.

St. Louis lost to Detroit in overtime, Tampa Bay won to Boston

100%

In the NHL regular season, Detroit, without Pavel Datsyuk, beat St. Louis in overtime, Vladimir Tarasenko did not score, but was recognized as the second star of the match. Vladislav Namestnikov and Nikita Kucherov helped Tampa Bay break a three-year losing streak against Boston.

Detroit Red Wings – St. Louis Blues – 2-1 MW

Game day in the NHL was left without confrontations between Russian hockey players. It could have happened in a meeting between Detroit and St. Louis, but Pavel Datsyuk, who missed the last week due to injury, did not have time to recover by the meeting.

Ovechkin slowed down, Crosby took advantage

Goalkeeping exploits, Tarasenko’s scoring, Montreal’s lead, Anisimov’s blind goal, Crosby’s points and…

March 22 11:06

So Russian speech on the ice could only be heard from the lips of Vladimir Tarasenko. And it could hardly be decent: his team lost in overtime, and the Blues forward himself failed to prove himself in any way.

The first goal had to wait until the middle of the match. Guests from the banks of the Mississippi embodied their advantage in the second period in the goal of Alexander Steen. Immediately after the break, at the 24th second, Eric Cole equalized with the filing of Justin Abdelkader.

The game went into overtime, and Detroit once again had enough basketball attack time to upset goaltender Jake Allen. Abdelkader himself distinguished himself in the majority, who threw the puck with a broken stick. The Blues turned to the judges with a request to cancel the goal, but they counted it.

Detroit is back on the winning track they left without Datsyuk. “St. Louis” also suffered a third defeat in a row, although it allowed him to become the sole leader of the Central Division.

Varlamov did not stop the Ducks from taking off

Stamkos repeats Ovechkin’s achievement, and his Tampa defeats Detroit; Varlamov stops throws, but doesn’t…

March 22 22:35

Interestingly, although Tarasenko did not score a single point in the match and made only three shots, he was recognized as the second star.

Tampa Bay Lightning – Boston Bruins – 5:3

For almost three years, Tampa could not beat Boston in the NHL. A week and a half ago, when the Bears celebrated victory in overtime, the unsuccessful streak grew to ten matches. Since then, the Bostonians have fallen into a minor crisis, and one of the leaders of the East has finally managed to break the curse.

However, the match started unsuccessfully for the Lightning again: Patrice Bergeron hit Ben Bishop’s gate already at the 33rd second. Vladislav Namestnikov was destined to level the score: he finished off the puck on the third attempt after the saves of Tuukka Rask. For the 22-year-old Russian, this is the second goal for Boston this season.

Ottawa celebrated the victory in the main game of the game day over Boston and caught up with…

March 20 11:22

In the middle of the first period, Tampa’s morale was raised by a fight between Tampa’s captain, Stephen Stamkos, and Brad Marchand. The team leader hasn’t taken off his gloves for seven years! Immediately, his teammates scored two goals, and again Namestnikov earned a point for performance.

In the second period, the team from Florida brought the score to 4:1. “Boston” mobilized at the end of the game and played the puck through the efforts of Zdeno Hara. The advantage of three goals was returned by Ondrej Palat, who was assisted by another Russian Tampa player, Nikita Kucherov. An end to the last minute of the match was put by Daniel Pai – 5:3 in favor of the Lightning.

Namestnikov became the third star of the meeting, he added two power moves to 2 points.

New York Rangers – Anaheim Ducks – 7:2

The main match of the day was the battle of the leaders of two conferences – New York and Anaheim. The Ducks could have been the first team to break 100 points in a season, but the Rangers had objections. For the whole of March, they were able to score more than three goals in only one match. As it turned out, they saved all unrealized goals for guests from the West.

Bobrovsky was hidden from Yakupov

A goal, an assist and an excellent game by Nail Yakupov helped his Edmonton earn one point in…

March 19 10:39

Barely ten minutes had passed before three goals hit the Anaheim gate after seven shots. The Ducks did not stand aside, until the end of the first period they upset the Rangers twice. But since that moment, Cam Talbot has put a lock on his possessions and eventually recorded 36 saves in the asset.

Having forced the guests to change the goalkeeper, the New Yorkers continued to taunt the opponent and fed him four more goals. Anaheim suffered the biggest defeat since March 13 last year, when Calgary won with the same score 7:2.

The NHL’s overall standings are now a trinity, with Rangers, Montreal and Anaheim leading with 99 points. But New York has played fewer matches than its rivals so far.

Arizona Coyotes – Vancouver Canucks – 1:3

Arizona suffered an eighth consecutive defeat. Their next offender was Vancouver, which feels comfortable in the playoff zone of the Western Conference. The Coyotes were able to quickly respond to Yannick Weber’s goal in the first period, but they did not have time to try their luck in overtime: the Killer Whales scored twice in the last five minutes of the meeting.

Community Hero – Russian Fan Club Tampa Bay Lightning

In 2011, Lightning owner Jeff Vinick and his wife Penny approved the Lightning Community Heroes program. Under the terms of this program, the couple pledged to give a total of $10 million over five years to the “heroes” of Tampa.

At each of the 41 home games of the regular season, the “hero” is given a check for $50,000 and a personalized Lightning sweater with a special patch. Spectators are necessarily informed about him (both in the arena via a telecube and viewers of the Sun Sports channel) – who he is, where he comes from and what is his “feat” in the local community (the local community means residents of Tampa and its immediate environs). The stadium always greets the “hero” with a standing ovation.

The Hero Awards are now in their third season since the 2011-12 season and have already received a total of $4.1 million (due to the lockout and shortened regular season last year, the program is running slightly behind schedule).

In order to be considered for the Community Hero title, someone needs to nominate the applicant through the Lightning’s official website. The nominee must be over 13 years of age, live in and around Tampa, and not be an employee (including player, coach, etc.) of a club (Tampa Bay Lightning), a stadium (Tampa Bay Times Forum) or a fund that manages the program (Lightning Foundation). And of course, the nominee must do something meaningful for society. It doesn’t have to be just one person.

Moreover, it is not necessary that the nominee be a person at all. Very often, the winners were not people, but organizations – hospitals, schools, kindergartens, shops and even cafes. Of the people, doctors, teachers, war veterans, builders were recognized as “heroes”.

One of the most notable winners (emotionally) was the girl Brooke Pash, who became the second winner of the 2012-13 season. She was born with the association VACTERL. At birth, doctors gave her two weeks to live. She lived for 19 years and, despite her own serious problems associated with the disease, helped sick children. The girl created a foundation that helped sick children from low-income families fulfill their dreams; she created a theater group that these children went to. Parents received the award for it.

Hélio Navarro was honored before the Rangers game. This man, himself suffering from the consequences of Cerebral Palsy, has devoted his life to involving others like him (those suffering from Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, etc.) in sports, gathering teams, coaching them, organizing tournaments.

Hero stories can always be found on the Lightning’s official website. Here are all the winners of the 2011-2012 season, and here are all the winners of the 2012-13 season.

And here we smoothly approached the main point. Before the next Lightning match, on November 27, there will be a celebration of the new “hero” of the community.

This man set up a foundation in Tampa to help sick children. Moreover, at his own expense, he opened a medical center for children with cancer and blood diseases. He made a huge contribution to the life of this city. Many called him “the angel of Tampa”.

The only reason this man hasn’t been recognized as a “hero” before is because he didn’t pass one of the main requirements for nomination – he was a Tampa Bay Lightning player. Team captain. The face of the club.

I think that everyone has already guessed who they are talking about.

Yes, indeed, before the match with Philadelphia, Vincent Lecavalier will be declared the “hero” of Tampa.

Strictly speaking, a small amendment to the rules was made especially for Vinnie. Although Lecavalier himself, along with his wife and three children, does not live in Tampa (which, in general, is contrary to the rules of the program), he still owns a house in this city, and his sister lives here with his family, his parents. And Lecavalier himself in his interview said that he considers Tampa to be his home, and not even his native Montreal.

“Playing in Tampa again is something special. I’m from Montreal myself, I love to go there, play there, but Tampa is my home. My children were born here, my parents and my sister live here. This is where I feel at home.”

As for resentment against Tampa or Steve Yzerman, he assured that there were no resentments. He understands that the buyout decision was purely a business decision. According to him, in the current situation this summer, the team’s management behaved towards him very tactfully and “humanly”, despite the fact that for him the decision to buy out the contract was still a strong blow. Lecavalier reassured that he had no grudge against Tampa.

“I swear I have no desire to prove to anyone that they were wrong. I don’t want to prove to the management of Tampa that they made the wrong decision by buying my contract. I want to prove to Philadelphia that they made the right decision by signing me. I want to help this team. The right business decision was made. My contract interfered with the development of the club. They did everything right and I have no complaints against them. I just had to leave the team in that situation, that’s all.”
