There's An Error
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 22, 2009
Super Bowl visitors entering the city's downtown next week will be greeted by this message: "Welcome to Downtown Tampa: There's so many reasons to love it." Sounds like a nice message, but there's a problem. The banner, at Franklin and Platt streets near Channelside Drive, contains an error: The subject and verb in the second part don't match. Grammatically speaking, "There's" (for "there is") should be "There are."
The banner was paid for by the taxpayer-subsidized Tampa Downtown Partnership as part of a welcome campaign for visitors to the Feb. 1 championship football game. Mayor Pam Iorio has asked the nonprofit group to correct the wording or remove it.
