There’s more to being part of a community than simply where you live.
Hoodline examined the city's past week on Twitter, particularly those accounts that are devoted to community life — things like parks, animals, healthy living and education. We wanted to reveal and report on the things that inspired your social media conversations on those topics.
Parks
Hoodline helps you keep up with news and events from the city's parks and trails.
Tampa witnessed essentially the same volume of Twitter conversations on the subject of parks last week compared with the past week.
But users in the city were still active on Twitter, amplifying tweets about parks. Here's a case in point, by @tampaparksrec:
We are extremely excited to offer new recreational programming opportunities to the #Wellswood neighborhood. This newly renovated activity center will come to be the new hub of youth and adult activity in the community. https://t.co/OO7S7xFBMW
— Tampa Parks & Recreation (@tampaparksrec)
In all, the tweet got eight local retweets and 15 total retweets, quotes and favorites.
Schools
The quality of the schools matters to everyone in the city, regardless of whether they have kids in the education system.
Some local tweets got attention locally. Here's an example, from @HillsboroughSch:
CONGRATS I Meet the new HCPS security officers! 64 men and woman took the oath to serve and protect our schools! ♂️♀️♀️♂️ https://t.co/UM3ANhEcWK
— Hillsborough Schools (@HillsboroughSch)
As of this publication, the tweet racked up seven local retweets, four local quotes and 228 total retweets, quotes and favorites.
Then there was this tweet from @AchievementSch on Thursday:
“We aren’t just an Achievement School-our students are achievements!” In this week’s Why #WeAchieveTogether @gibsontondogs Teacher Catherine Gilmore says her students are her ❤️ & helps them succeed w/data & by setting measurable goals. @HillsboroughSch https://t.co/Ygt3lY1DAr https://t.co/AckfmfnWuZ
— Achievement Schools (@AchievementSch)
All told, the tweet received three local quotes and 10 total retweets, quotes and favorites.
Health
Here are some of last week's can't-miss tweets on the topic of public health in the city.
Tampa saw only a slight change in Twitter conversations around health last week compared with the week before.
One was this tweet from @NM_Seminars on Friday:
