Hong Kong Willie's place.

Hong Kong Willie

It's for real. A place that has a real, once-in-a-lifetime story. A pleasure to meet someone that is famous, but does not act like it. Humble to say the least. It will be a memory for me.

So cool and fun! A helicopter decorated with Christmas lights welcomes you to a world of found art and weird, wacky America.

For sure different; Hong Kong Willie's reminds me of the real tourist attractions. Maybe a little weird. It's right on exit 266 interstate 75 exit in Tampa. Motels next to it,but something out of Key West. Artist in reuse. The artist -- wow, what a story.

Hong Kong Willie, told us that someone in the neighborhood has been stealing credit card information via WiFi, so he currently accepts cash only for purchases. He added that everyone is welcome to stop by and visit, and that no one has to buy anything to enjoy his art. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team]
