Recording live from Fuzzy's Taco Shop in Temple Terrace, co-hosts Collin Sherwin and Brock Bjorn are saying ahoy to National Margarita Day for Episode 5 of the 813area podcast! We happened upon North Tampa, but talk about other great places in South Tampa to get a delicious margarita, such as Bartaco, Green Lemon and the brand new Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar. The guys then talk about the various events happening this weekend like the 71st Annual Fiesta Day, Tampa's Last Saturday Bar Crawl with Party Bus, Cirque du Soleil's VOLTA and the podcast's favorite event Grown Up Night! Also, if you're in South Tampa, thought #GasparillaSZN was over, and want to test your New Year's Resolutions, enter or watch the Gasparilla Distance Classic!

Collin Sherwin also welcomes Melanie Griffin to the 813area podcast to talk about her business, Spread Your Sunshine and the transit issues surrounding the Tampa Bay Area.
