THIS WEEK’S, TAMPA BAY HIDDEN GEM
Tampa Theatre - located in the downtown Tampa. This is an incredible theatre that is in itself, a work of art! Gargoyles, Old World Statues, Flowers, twinkling star ceiling and world class entertainment. Built in 1926, the Tampa Theatre is one of America’s most elaborate movie palaces and a beloved community landmark. :

Tampa Theatre is a protected historic landmark and one of America’s best-preserved examples of grand movie palace architecture. I highly encourage you to check it out, visit their website and pick a show or event to see. Tampa Theatre

Restaurant Spotlight
My wife, myself and wife’s friend Nancy ate at Oak & Ola at Armature Works before we started looking at the car show which was fantastic car show if you missed it.

We have eaten at this restaurant before so it’ wasn’t our first time. The food was very good. My wife had the Mushroom Truffle Pizza, Nancy had the Margherita pizza and I had the O&O Burger with caramelized onions, Gruyère cheese, and fries.

The ladies loved their pizzas and my burger was great as well. I would have ordered a pizza as well but they didn’t have any pizza with meat options… In my book, that’s a major sin, 😞 so I ordered the burger.

They have a limited menu but there is Fish, Steaks, Pork Tenderloin, Chicken Masala and other higher end food items on the menu but we decided to keep it simple, which is code for ‘less expensive’ which is further code for ‘cheaper.’ 😹 

Highly recommend this restaurant if you have not tried it yet, but you will need a reservation unless you want to wait. Check them out here: Oak & Ola
