Tampa's businesses, architecture and local culture make the city something beyond photogenic. Green rivers, illuminated buildings, mural tours, water bikes and minarets are a few of the quirks that make Tampa a dynamic place to live.
The expansion of Tampa International Airport is a testament to the city's desire to connect us to the world, and the world to us. With local love in mind, here is the second installment of the top IGers in Tampa who help shape and share the identity of our growing city. Don't forget to use the hashtags #igerstampa #SOtampa and #unlocktampabay on all of your photos. If you need to know where to explore next just reference Visit Tampa Bay.
