They have completely remodeled Channelside and turned it into a trendy new place called "Sparkman Warf" and it opens this Friday!
I cannot wait to check this out! This place looks sooo cool! Drinks, Food, Entertainment and even dog friendly!
Sparkman Wharf will open Friday, the first development in Tampa's Water Street transformation by Strategic Property Partners, backed by Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
So what's up with the name? Well... Sparkman Wharf is named for Stephen M. Sparkman, he was a Tampa congressman who brought in millions of dollars in federal spendingto dig the deep channels in Port Tampa Bay in the early 1900's. And now when you hang out there, you can actually see the water! They knocked down a bunch of stuff.
Only thing they really kept is Splitsville. I love that they are changing and fixing up the downtown Tampa area.
