Weekend Plans!

The TECO Line Streetcar System takes you to the
entrance of the Ybor City Saturday Market.

Gettin' Fresh at the Ybor Market
So, it's Saturday, and if your family is anything like mine, you're probably asking yourselves "what are we going to do today?"

Here's something new - how about hopping over to the Ybor City Saturday Market!

Now that fall has officially...well, fallen (not quite the same as "spring has sprung," is it?), the fresh market is back to its regular hours of 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. That means two extra hours of shopping for the choicest produce, tastiest breads, coolest jewelry, and funkiest funky fun novelties around.

The Ybor City Fresh Market is located in Centennial Park, just east of Centro Ybor, at the corner of 8th Avenue and 19th Street.

Plus, it's conveniently served by the TECO Line Streetcar System. You can park at one of four public garages along the line and ride the rails right to the park entrance. Make a day of it and take the streetcar to Channelside or the Florida Aquarium, too!

AA Hearing Today; Budget Hearing and Board Meeting Monday
The HART Board of Directors will meet Monday, Sept. 27, at 5:30 p.m. in the 18th floor Planning Commission boardroom of the County Center.
