Tampawas well referenced in Sunday’s New York Times–and, no, it had nothing to do with the Schenecker trial or the murder-suicide/fire at James Blake’s Avila house.
In the context of a Travel section piece on the understandable downturn in American tourists visiting Russia these days, mention was made of Tampa-based Exeter International, a “luxury travel agency” that has been organizing custom trips to Russia since 1992. The Arts & Leisure section had a biographical sketch of Calvin Royal III, part of the American Ballet Theater’s “new blood” now performing at the Metropolitan Opera House. The Business section feature, “What You Get,” included a 13,000-square-foot, chateau-style Tampa Palms (Reserve subdivision) house, six bedrooms, six-plus bathrooms, that is selling for $3.5 million ($265 per square foot.) For what it’s worth–and if you have to ask, etc.–taxes are nearly $44,000 plus $10,200 in annual association fees.
