I hope your 2008 is better than your 2007. Here’s the last spin around the internet before the end of the year.

The Tampa Tribune reveals the mystery behind the new ownership of El Taconazo – The Taco Bus. Cousin Is New Driver of the Taco Bus.

My antipathy for all things St. Pete grows as St. Pete Times’ columnist Ernest Hooper (or his editor) can’t be bothered to even call El Taconazo by its proper name and calls it El Taco Nacho instead.

Riiight, cuz Tampa’s all about the chains. You don’t really have the taste of Tampa until you do something you can also do in DC, or Virginia, or Connecticut, or Pennsylvania, or one of the other 200+ locations across the eastern US.
