Published by CHANNEL DISTRICT / DOWNTOWN / HARBOUR ISLAND / YBOR TAMPA’S URBAN DWELLING MAGAZINE mashedmediagroup.com FALL 2016 Managing Director Ed Suyak district, noun dis•trict \`dis-(,)trikt\ : an area or section that has some special characteristic or purpose : a region or locality marked by a distinguishing feature The District Magazine’s mission is to celebrate the people, communities, and businesses. We want to learn your stories so we can tell the stories. In this issue, we celebrate a few of Tampa’s Movers and Shakers. We know we only scratched the surface. Movers and Shakers to us are: people making moves, they keep things moving, shake up the status quo and always look to pass it forward. The District is a direct reflection of change and our environment, which is why we partnered with Print TV Media and their new app VidPic AR throughout the issue. What is print; can come to life! Augmented Reality… Heard of it? You may be familiar with augmented reality (AR) thanks to the recent Pokémon epidemic. And if your one of the 100+ million people who enjoys throwing Poké Balls at imaginary critters around your home, you're going to love what we've cooked up in this issue of The District. You'll find that the experience is a little more...rewarding.
