I always wanted to play my guitar there, and today I did. Love the cosmic acoustics there. I played two of my original songs. This too shall pass and everything good
Visit our 4.5-acre plaza designed with the Fibonacci sequence
Kiley Gardens-amphitheatre is an amphitheater in Tampa. Our 4.5-acre plaza, once part of the NationsBank corporate headquarters, sits atop a two-level parking garage overlooking the Hillsborough River and the University of Tampa. Completed in 1988, our design is based on the Fibonacci mathematical sequence, which determines our checkerboard pattern of grass and concrete panels. Our garden features steps and a concrete ramp crossing over five rectangular pools, each with an island and a tree.

This is one of my all time favorite places in Tampa... I was going through some hard times and I would bring my guitar and a fold up chair (which started my love for folding antique chairs) and I'd place the chair on the square.... I'd close my eyes and play and sing my heart out for hours in the middle of the night... One time, I opened my eyes and there were about 8-10 people sitting there and they started clapping... and my guitar case had money in it... So I freaked out and grabbed my stuff and ran away... but it was really cool now that I look back on it... That place holds a special place in my heart... for real.
Very nice atmosphere.
