“This is Fortune Street, named for Fortune Taylor. It is the only street in Downtown proper named for a woman. The Tampa Bay Times, the Patel Conservatory, the Barrymore Hotel, and Anchor Riverwalk all sit on land once owned by an African American woman in the late 1800s.” Royster said.
The Athletic highlights Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik’s impact on the NHL, Tampa Bay, and the future of hockey in a recent feature leading into Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
“Jeff right now is the most respected of the ownership brethren,” Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis, “In a very short period of time, Jeff took an incredibly moribund franchise and turned it into the best team in professional sports.
