Former Councilwoman Saul-Sena to Guide Tours of Historic Tampa

Join former Tampa City Council member Linda Saul-Sena through cozy Hyde Park bungalows and one-time Ybor City factories during three upcoming neighborhood walking tours.

"Our neighborhoods are fascinating places,” said Saul-Sena, “seeing their history and evolution is a delightful way to spend an afternoon.”

An historic preservation advocate, Saul-Sena will guide participants on a leisurely two-hour stroll through communities including Hyde Park, Ybor City, and the Channel District, while explaining about the architectural features and quirky histories of areas she worked to preserve during her five-term tenure on the Tampa City Council.

The three scheduled walking tours will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the following dates and locations:

• Sunday, Feb. 19: Channel District.

• Sunday, Feb. 26: Ybor City.

• Sunday, March 4: Hyde Park.

The cost is $15 per person per tour.

Proceeds will benefit the local nonprofit Community Stepping Stones, which offers an out-of-school, arts-integrated curriculum designed to inspire, educate and mentor at-risk Sulphur Springs children to become successful adults.
