I have seen other physicians’ work, and I just choose his work—it’s far superior. Last year he did surgery on my upper eyelids. I had it done on a Friday and was back to work on a Monday. My surgery was very short, minimally invasive and I recovered quickly.

From Curtis Hixon to Kate Jackson, pull up a seat (or your favorite park bench) and get schooled on your local parks. This issue also pays homage to local landmarks that help define our landscape, from the minarets of the University of Tampa to the balustrades that border Bayshore Boulevard. By the time we’re done, you’ll be a walking, talking South Tampa expert. And to help get you ready for a little fun in the sun, we’ve rounded up some must-have products from local boutiques to help keep you cool all summer long.

CITY PARKS, CIVIC PRIDE A visit to local parks can give you a lesson in Tampa’s history
Written By Marcy Sanford | Photography by Gabriel Burgos
Perry Harvey Sr. was born in Georgia and moved to Tampa in 1928. When he began working on the city’s docks that same year, he did not let the poor working conditions and low pay bring him down. Instead, he founded the International Longshoremen’s Association 1402 16 | SouthTampaMagazine.com
Union and devoted himself to improving the lives of his fellow longshoremen. Harvey was always looking out for his co-workers, friends and neighbors and was known to help those in need. He was influential in Tampa’s civil rights movement and served on the Florida Bi-Racial

Committee. He also helped desegregate the Hillsborough County school system and sought educational opportunities for all children in the community. Harvey believed in early education, and his vision helped develop the Head Start program, which now helps prepare low-income students for school nationwide.

Kate Jackson grew up in Tampa during a time when women had few rights and were not expected to be business leaders. However, she was an integral part of Tampa’s growth and success and worked tirelessly for her beliefs. In 1910 she founded the Tampa Civic
18 | SouthTampaMagazine.com
Association, an all-female group that created the city’s recreation department and library and lobbied for paved streets and the city’s first water and sewage systems. An officer in the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs, she was instrumental in purchasing a large tract of
land that later became the Everglades National Park. A devout Catholic, she was also instrumental in the creation of the Academy of the Holy Names. Her family had settled in Tampa early, so they owned several blocks of real estate downtown. Jackson was a shrewd businesswoman and continued developing their land and acquiring assets, eventually becoming a major shareholder in Citizens Bank.

Recovery Heals Private, affordable treatment for addiction and mental health – without having to leave South Tampa
I
n The News: Florida overdose deaths are up 75% in the past year. Although pill mill closures helped curb prescription abuse, predictably, the “demand” side of the equation remains unchanged due to users not getting needed treatment. Heroin and other drugs now fill the growing demand. We all see it. Friends, neighbors and family members are getting hooked more than ever.
Addiction and mental health disorders require treatment
“It astonishes me that people are shocked by this. This needs to be treated as an addiction problem, a mental health problem. We may have had great success beating back the pill mills, but all that meant is we were going to see a switch to different drugs and different dealers.”
BoardPrep is located right here in South Tampa, allowing clients to benefit from local family support and long-term coaching and follow-up.

Curtis Hixon was born in Alabama and moved to Tampa after graduating from pharmacology school. He worked as a pharmacist until he enlisted for service in World War I. After returning from war, Hixon became interested in local politics. He served on the Tampa City Council and was elected 22 | SouthTampaMagazine.com
to the Hillsborough County Commission before being elected the 45th mayor of Tampa in 1943. The city was facing many challenges when Hixon became mayor. Residents had to ration gasoline and food during World War II, prostitution and illegal gambling were out of control, and the
city did not have the infrastructure to support its growing population. By the end of the war, under Hixon’s leadership, Tampa expanded and grew while improving water, sewer and other structural systems. He was also instrumental in the development of Tampa International Airport, the Port of Tampa, the University of South Florida and Tampa Industrial Park. Hixon served four terms before dying of heart failure while still in office.

In the 1870s, Dr. Howell Tyson Lykes moved from South Carolina to Hernando County to manage his family’s 500-acre cattle farm. He expanded the operations to include growing citrus, and the family started the first school in the area. In 1895, he moved to Ballast Point
in Tampa with his wife and eight children and grew the family fortune by shipping cattle to Cuba. His seven sons joined his company, and by 1933 they had made Lykes Bros. the largest steamship interest in the Gulf and New Orleans trade. The company grew to have interests in

ARE YOU PREPARED TO BUY OR SELL A HOME? Selling Tampa Bay’s Josh Taylor has the answers to some of your biggest real estate questions. Why is it important to use a real estate agent? Real estate agents promote safety, save people time and money, and help minimize the risk in real estate transactions. How much money do you need to purchase a home? You do not need large sums of cash to purchase real estate, as there are FHA/ VA/conventional loan products offering low down payment options. Why is pricing your home correctly important? Overpricing scares off buyers and real estate agents, limiting the number of showing requests and increasing the number of days on the market. Underpricing your home will leave less money in your pocket at closing. Should you fix known problems before putting your home on the market? Yes. You may have to fix problems or provide concessions once a buyer’s inspector identifies them, and it less expensive to not be forced into a rush job. What is the market in Tampa like? Tampa is unique because it is one of the smallest metropolitan cities, yet it has the fourthfastest growing housing market and the fastest-moving rental market in the country.

ICONS OF SOUTH TAMPA
To celebrate the history and traditions of our community, South Tampa Magazine, with the help of some of our friends, has selected seven of the icons we think best represent South Tampa. On the following pages, you’ll find objects from across the area that help tell the story of a city. WRITTEN BY McKenna Kelley PHOTOGRAPHY BY Gabriel Burgos

The railing that lines the 4.5 miles of Tampa’s most famous street gives Bayshore Boulevard its distinctive look. It’s also one of South Tampa’s most visible icons, as approximately 30,000 cars drive some length of Bayshore each day and an untold amount jog, bike or rollerblade on the wide sidewalks. The balustrade was built from Howard Boulevard to Gandy Boulevard in 1926, and funds from President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration supported the completion of the full railing in 1938. The balustrade is so important to the city that local officials pumped over $1 million into restoring the sidewalks, including the balustrade, and the medians of the road before the Republican National Convention in 2012. WHERE TO FIND IT: BAYSHORE BOULEVARD

They were an original part of Henry Plant’s $3 million, 500room Tampa Bay Hotel, which helped lure visitors from Queen Victoria to Theodore Roosevelt to Tampa. According to prominent Tampa historian James W. Covington, Plant sent hotel architect James Wood to Spain to study Moorish architecture, resulting in the hotel’s Islamicinspired look.

While it’s not known if it is a tribute to the Hyde Park across the pond, this classic British-inspired phone booth - located on the corner of Snow and Dakota Avenues by Pottery Barn Kids - has become well-known in South Tampa because of its seeming misplacement. As the village’s increasing number of restaurants and retailers has drawn in more visitors, this unique piece has become a place to take fun photos with an international flair.

The theatre is one of Tampa’s oldest buildings, and the iconic sign in front of it has become a symbol of an entire city. Tampa Theatre’s ups and downs – it closed in 1973 and was set to be demolished but was purchased by the city and reopened to the public in 1977 – mirror those of the city itself. Now run by the non-profit Tampa Theatre Foundation, the theatre is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s surprising, then, that the current marquee is not the original – it was replaced in 2004 as part of the theatre efforts to maintain the glamour and splendor of its heyday.

Though the sculpture was finished in front of what is now Amalie Arena shortly after the Tampa Bay Lightning began playing there, artist Jonathan Borofsky wrote on his website that he was more inspired by the lightning in the Tampa night sky than the team. Either way, Lightning fans have embraced the 70foot painted steel sculpture as a permanent reminder of the impact their team has had on the city.

Its arrival signals Tampa’s favorite holiday and is a year-round reminder of our city’s (possibly exaggerated) origins. Commissioned by the Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla in 1954, the 165-foot long ship is the second to bear the José Gasparilla name. The first José Gasparilla, originally a cargo ship named the William Bisbee, served YMKG from 1936 to 1952. Both ships helped solidify Gasparilla as Tampa’s premier annual event.

Drive down Platt Street, and just before you hit Bayshore you’ll notice that one of these things definitely does not look like the other. That would be Four Green Fields, a little white stucco cottage with a thatched roof and South Tampa’s oldest Irish pub. According to the pub, it is the only authentic thatched roof pub in the U.S. McGhee & Co. Roof Thatchers, based in Virginia, built the roof when Four Green Fields first opened in 1992 and still comes to town from time to time when its reeds need cleaning up.
