The Trolly Stop Tampa Bay
TSTB is best described as a lofty, slackerish armchair approach to urbanism in Tampa, including parts of Tampa Bay. Despite a more radical, sometimes 'GenX-dim-to-hype take' on urbanism issues, TSTB has been involved in the professional design and built environment for two decades, including activism and public service. We also love urban history, including local and national politics tied to urbanism and transportation. As a disclaimer, we have no expectations.

Feel free to chip in tips or $ for our news sources and research efforts. Enjoy the show.
