May 31, June 1 & June 2nd will be the Mark & Carrie Estate SALE.
32 years ago we had nightmare renters in one of our rental homes. We had to go thru a forced eviction to get them out. They totally trashed the home before leaving. Today we laugh… they even sprayed painted on the walls “Mark & Carrie are FAGGOTS”. I wanted to write YES we are and own the home too… LMAO We decided to move into the home while we re-fixed it up. Our plan was to stay for 5 years and then move on. Before we knew it 28 years had gone by. The closets, attic, garage, office & storage rooms were all filled up. We have now moved into our “Forever Home” and have left behind 1,000’s of things. We are very lucky to have Blair Burns & his team to organize and run our sale. https://www.facebook.com/blair.burns.357 There will be many more exciting details coming soon. For now we can say there will be; 1,000s of movie posters, Disney Theatrical Stand Ups, Costumes, Antiques, Tools, Household Items, Furniture, etc etc. From our closed MC FILM FESTIVAL PRIDE stores…. NEW DVDS, Movies, Rainbow PRIDE items, Jewelry, lighting, displays and even Lube and adult items. This will be a once in a life time SALE you will not want to miss!!!!

THANK YOU WFLA Channel 8
This past week WFLA News Channel 8 mistakenly reported that there was a shooting in Ybor City. The shooting location was actually several miles outside of Ybor. After it was brought to their attention this was corrected. Ybor gets a bad rap already and do not need more. Thank You WFLA.
