When I first moved here, the 3 Seminoles seemed to do their own things and not have much to do with each other.
That's changed.
Today I get an email from the President of SE Sem Hts asking me to post an event going on in South Sem. Hts. In that same email is an offer by the President of South SH to put in their newsletter any events occuring in SE. Recently I've seen in all 3 newsletters items from the others Sems. Often, businesses that carry neighborhood newsletters don't just carry the one for thier hood, they carry all 3.
At the last SE SH porch party all 3 Sems were well represented. Just before that at an Old SH porch party a good contingent of SE SH showed up.
In the Starbucks thing all 3 Sems came together to provide support.
SE SH and Old SH crosspopulated each others home tours.
The SE SH and Old SH vehicle patrols patrol both neighborhoods.
Many of us are on each other's email groups.
Seminole Heights - Huyyah!
While this is true, there have been bumps in the road.
ReplyDeleteWhile an OSH neighborhood watch improvised and started the first hooker vehicle patrol it was a SESH neighborhood watch that gladly accepted the award for it. (Ouch!)
But as the gentrification spreads out and encompasses the larger portion of greater Seminole Heights (GSH?) we start to have more in common as neighbors--both the good and the bad.
I guess we're no longer islands unto ourselves.
