Description
Time to lock up that buried treasure — the Gasparilla pirates are coming to town.
The Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla’s elite Plunder Team is set to descend on Tampa on Tuesday morning to demand the key to the city from Mayor Jane Castor. And if Mayor Castor refuses to appear for negotiations voluntarily, the pirates have warned they'll take her by force and deliver her to the meeting place at noon: Lykes Gaslight Park on Franklin Street.
Be prepared to hear the ringing of cannons and shouting pirates as the bearded bandits sweep city hall. But don't worry, Tampa police have been warned ahead of time.
If Castor refuses to surrender the city, the pirates will have no choice but to take over Bayshore Boulevard on Saturday for the historic Gasparilla invasion.
