Welcome to Petra: The Jordanian Experience

🎧 to this short 📖 based on true events at Petra Restaurant #Tampa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A hot current of air poured over desert thickets, reeds & willows, and rolled over the Judean desert. Howling winds carried/pushed the sound of soft classical middle eastern instrumentals through the narrow straight between the rock faces. With the salt beds of the Jordan river paces away, the smell of salt bounced against the gypsum walls and traded & mixed with spices Carved into an urban landscape, the great hall was supported by a single hewn plastic pillar at center. White tiled ceilings stretch across the vast expanse, and gold varnished millwork bordered the perimeter of the region. Images of pita, olives & zatar-peppered bread, and smothered meats were encased in gold-trimmed/framed glass. Patrons sat along dusty shores, on the surface of mahogany red chairs, and along the edge of tables line up across the beige tiled floors, the color of sunbaked clay. The red/brown dust settled at my feet as a white saucer was set upon my table. The saucer was divided into zatar, olive oil & chili paste. My chicken shawarma plate sided with a house salad and basmati rice was planted on my table. I didn't have to think twice. #survivecorona #stories #storytelling #fyp #foryou #performanceart #normallife #Petra #Midleeastern #tampabay #ybor #florida #southtampa #lovefl #fl #explorida #floridalife #813 #tampafoodie #bestoftampa #Baklava #shawarma #hummus

The Hall on Franklin: Where Sushi and Tacos Rule

🎧 to this short 📖 based on true events at the Hall on Franklin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Polished, industrial frame carved into a gentrified landscape, alongside aged CMU structures. Chopsticks, forks and knives, barbequed fingertips, waffle fries, and Mexican shrimp bowl, all gathered at the same table. Backdrop of white-wash brick walls melds into staggering ceramic tiles. The hall is marked by beehive-cladded bars and darkened honey-hued stools. Black welded rivets sink their teeth into aluminum borders, wading at the edge of smooth wood composite tables. Weighty brown leather chairs scuff refurbished wood floors; marble countertops accentuate steel-framed cubicles. Chopsticks, forks and knives, barbequed fingertips, waffle fries, and Mexican shrimp bowl, all gathered at the same table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #survivecorona #stories #storytelling #fyp #foryou #tampa #performanceart #normallife #tampabay #ybor #florida #southtampa #lovefl #fl #yborcity #explorida #floridalife #813 #thehallonfranklin #hallonfranklin #tampafoodie #bestoftampa Like performance art or resell?

Covid Chronicles: He Dropped the Toilet Paper!

🎧 to this short 📖 based on everyday, mundane life during covid. My neighbor pulled into his spot and quickly opened his passenger door...thud. Out tumbled a box of kleenex and a translucent package, marked by a gregarious bear. The plastic skin hug tight to individual rolls of paper. He threw a furtive, apologetic glance in my direction. ----------------------------- People hurried past, mocking smirks hidden in cotton T-shirts, noses buried in surgical masks, and hands skinned in latex. It was common courtesy to greet the strange old lady that circuits the neighborhood with a grin, slight nod, and a flick of the wrist, but as she tread the pavement, she unflinchingly crossed to the other side, where no concrete had yet been poured, and force her gaze forward.

Celtic Cross: The Stench of Sulfur

Listen in to a short story based on true events as I walked through the backwoods of Tampa. This story may scare little people, so be sure to hide them away. I passed by a house the other day. Its single door, golden-brown, shown in the noonday sun ...a sudden horror overcame me #tampa #reviews #survivecorona #storytime #performanceart #normallife #scary
