BO'S Ice Cream
This sign means many things to many people.
A cool hangout for many Hillsborough High School students through the years,
and a popular favorite for all in the Seminole Heights area of Tampa.
Located on the northeast corner of Florida Avenue, just a few blocks north of Sligh Avenue at Flora Street, in the Seminole Heights area of Tampa.
Not too many customers this Monday morning, probably due to the cool weather and the light rain, but open nonetheless!
Bo's now has a drive through. These photos were taken April 3rd, on a much sunnier day!
Step or drive on up and cool it with a Bo's sweet treat.
So,
who is BO?
Bo's was the creation of Kenneth M. Bosanko. Born around 1907or 1908 in Guthrie, Oklahoma, "Mr. Bo" was a World War II and U.S. Coast Guard veteran.
He came to Tampa in 1954 from Cleveland and was the original owner and operator of Bo's Ice Cream.
He passed away on July 4, 2000 but his gem of an ice cream stand continues to satisfy young and old alike with sweet-tooth pleasing ice cream treats.
Bo's Ice Cream is a Tampa landmark; it has been family owned and operated for half a century now!
