Memo to Tampa and Tampa-area motorists who use Bayshore Boulevard:
On those days when it rains really, really hard – and there’s a strong wind, noticeably huge white caps in Hillsborough Bay, tons of water cascading over the balustrade and inevitably reoccurring high tides – think twice about staying on Bayshore.
There are plenty of side streets and some parallel routes, albeit less convenient. Use them. It doesn’t take long for Bayshore to become a no-wake zone. It’s not worth the risk, even at crawl-along speeds.
