Last night, a couple of friends and I went to see Brokeback Mountain at The Tampa Theatre.  As I’ve mentioned before, this movie palace is a short walk from one of the best bars in Tampa, The Hub. 

Mandy and I went in there before the movie while we waited for Megan.  I love The Hub because every time I go there, it’s exactly as I remember it.  Many times, even the same people are there, as you can expect in a place with as many regulars as The Hub has.

Except, this time something wasn’t the same.  Apparently, they’ve painted over their legendary graffiti walls in the ladies’ room.  I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes because I didn’t use the restroom before we left, but Mandy told me all about it as we walked out.

“I used to read all kinds of words of wisdom while I was in there,” she said.  Now, she has to settle for “Tom is hot!” on the walls.
