Cristal's Demolished

Kathy Steele wrote about the destruction of this former nightclub. This place was a big problem while it was open. The parking lot would get full. They would park on the residential streets. Food and liquor would be sold in the parking lot. Several times they had outside bands I could hear at my house.

Replacing it will be "The Urban Enterprise Center, 1907 E. Hillsborough Ave., the new headquarters for the nonprofit Corporation to Develop Communities in Tampa. The corporation, which paid $600,000 for the club, also will lease space to a call center."
