Tampa, Florida

Damarius Muldrow Professor Gonzalez LAH 3470 901 21 November 2014 Final Paper Tampa, Florida is home to over 330,000 people, 38 thousand business firms, and 3 major sport teams (US Census 2010). Compared to cities across the nation it’s considered one of the best places to live and to find a career. Before 1880 Tampa’s population was somewhere under 700 and was mostly inhabited by Yankees and Caribbean fishermen. Yet, by 1887 the population would quadruple in size. This increase in residents would be the effect of Tampa’s introduction to the Cuban cigar industry by 1887 and the establishment of Ybor City. To my own belief, the Cuban cigar industry and the immigrant workers that gathered to Ybor (and eventually West Tampa) would have such…

The river walk along the downtown Tampa waterfront has been around since the mid-1970s. The park is expected to span 1,460 feet of water on the eastern side of the Hillsborough River, running underneath the Kennedy Boulevard Bridge which is linked to the MacDill Park, Curtis Hixon and Waterfront Park, providing pedestrians and cyclists 1.8 miles of Riverwalk.

up with a criminal record. It has been said that tough love and punishment will help reduce our youth’s behavior, but I disagree. There is proof that if we open programs and give troubled children personal therapy their behavior changes. I think my community needs to tend to the youth’s bad behavior emotionally and physically more to help reduce the chances of them becoming criminals as adults. All it takes is attention, therapy, and giving them something else to focus on besides running in the…

It was the most fun location of the three cities on Minnesota. It is because of the huge variety of skiing areas and hockey games that everyone attended on Fridays. I lived in Two Harbors until the age of thirteen. After a year in Two Harbors I moved to an even smaller city called Silver Bay. Silver Bay was the best location because it was directly off the bay of Lake Superior. It also had the best private school designed for the student who lived out in the woods, because it was a lot harder…

Gulf Coast Agriculture Citrus, sugar cane, and rice are the major specialty crops grown on the Gulf Coast. Sugar cane is grown primarily in Louisiana and Texas. [Other than southern Florida] this is the only place in the 48 contiguous states where sugar cane can be grown, because of its need for abundant rainfall (over 50 inches/year) and its sensitivity to frost. Mild winters also make the Gulf Coast region a major supplier of vegetables to the northeastern US in the winter months. Amenity…
