First off, SoHo= (South – uth) + (Howard – ward). In other words,SoHogets its name from the street South Howard. WhileSoHomay be named after one street it is quickly growing into one ofSouth Tampa’s hottest neighborhoods for Twentysomethings. Practically the entire length of the street, which runs fromKennedy Blvd.all the way down to Bayshore, is littered with vibrant night life, varied cuisine and attractive Twentysomethings.
