At sandy riverbank of Hillsborough River in ridiculous Tampa.

Does Wills Hill, the Earl of Hillsborough, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1768 to 1772, deserve to have LIFEGIVING WATER named in his honor all these centuries after he finally died?

 

Of course not! We should forget his name!

In downtown Tampa, Florida, on November 23rd, 2021, the Hillsborough River as viewed from Plant Park.

 

There is the Kennedy Boulevard bridge (on Florida state roads 60 and 685; a bascule bridge built in 1913 as the Lafayette Street Bridge; 100002094 on the National Register of Historic Places).

 

Yonder is the Tampa Riverwalk. We have the skyscrapers "Rivergate Tower" (built 1988) Bank of America Plaza (built 1986), and "100 North Tampa" (built 1992).
