Top of the List In the quest of finding the crème de la crème of Tampa Bay’s luxury market, the July/August issue of Tampa Bay Illustrated debuts “The A-List.” The premise behind this piece was to find the crowning jewels of the Tampa Bay area by way of fabulous shopping, beauty and spa treats, hot tickets, fine dining and the simple pleasure of enjoying some of the most pristine and beautiful scenes Florida has to offer. After weeks of blanketing the town, searching for the perfect places and events, narrowing the picks to fit the pages was no easy task; there is just so much out there that adds to the flavor of the Bay area’s unique and diverse style. Please join us on our journey through Tampa Bay’s guide to the good life starting on page 35, and we encourage you all to take note while on your own personal travels as you discover the unique and chic and share them with us for next year. We intend the A-List to be point of growth, an editorial map of why Tampa Bay is at the forefront of living the good life. Enjoy! —The editors

My husband Keith and I bid on the Florida Orchestra Masterworks Series tickets that you donated to the American Cancer Society. We are so glad we bid and won the four pairs of tickets. Thank you so much for your generous support of the A.C.S. Cattle Barons’ Ball. Judith Maurer Tampa
