If you contact the University of South Florida or maybe check it out further online, you'll find out there are not 40K students down the road. I don't dispute there are 40K enrolled altogether including the graduate programs for masters and doctoral degrees, there's a big medical school there, however, USF has branch campuses. There's a large campus in St Petersburg, they have a marine research institute in St. Petersburg also, New College in Sarasota 50 - 60 miles away is part of the University of South Florida. All those students don't drive to Tampa to go to the Fowler Avenue campus. USF is a good sized school but there's not 40K students down the road laying in dorms. USF has been a commuter campus in the Tampa Bay area for years. A lot of the students drive in from their homes in the surrounding area and go home at night. They like it that way, they're life long Tampa Bay area residents who didn't want to go away from home to live in a dorm up in Gainesville at UF or Tallahassee at FSU or FAMU or in Miami at U of M. The wrong impression was conveyed though in a PR which just gave the raw number on USF's total enrollment and of course that's the job of PRs, to puff up everything and get the reader to go out and by some HTRE tomorrow. Right? Trouble is without being down here, it's hard to tell what is exaggerated in these PRs and what is not.

And the last I knew, Winky Wright was not "Tampa's Own" as another H3 PR said. St Petersburg was where he trained on 4th St N (just a few miles south of the SodaShop H3 started to build in St Petersburg). After Winky won his title the mayor of St Petersburg gave him a key to the City of St Petersburg, not the mayor of Tampa, because Winky was "St Petersburg's Own" then. PR writers always write things so it all fits and looks good. Be careful taking everything in a PR literally. I know it makes me wonder, after reading this stuff in PRs, "what other facts are exaggerated?" Probably more than we really care to know.

Penny stock PRs are always stretching the truth unfortunately.

But no matter what the PRs say, there is still a lot of people over there in Tampa though, where that new SodaShop is located, Tampa is a big city, H3 should do just fine.
