Tampa to be linked with rest of state via high-speed rail


Tampa to be linked with rest of state via high-speed rail

Tampa may be connected to Orlando via a high-speed railway by 2015 if the project stays on schedule and if politics do not get in the way. But, the long-term future of the grander project may be in doubt, despite the US losing ground internationally.

High-speed rail is a fairly modern advancement on rail travel that has been widely adopted in the modern world as the best form of overland mass transit. Highly developed countries like Japan, the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain have adopted high-speed rail extensively.

Tourism  
Tampa's crown jewel is Ybor City, the historic Cuban neighborhood. It's fun to amble down its shady brick-paved streets, following your nose to bakeries to buy fragrant loaves of Cuban bread or to shops where tabaqueros hand roll fine cigars. The sounds of lively Spanish conversation might lead you to an old-fashioned domino parlor where grandfathers with gnarled hands gather to play in friendly neighborhood matches. Antique shops, boutiques and art galleries beckon. After dark, the nightclubs throw open their doors and Ybor City metamorphoses into the Tampa hot spot. Stylish young party animals come out to prowl the area's many hip bars.
