Tampa Trib's Kathy Steele did a nice article about the several new businesses popping up in Seminole Heights, including the Nebraska's BBQ & Sandwich Shop Drive-Thru and "Sports and Physical Therapy of Seminole Heights, Avila's Market, New York Style Community Restaurant & Market, and the soon-to-open The Coffee Bean Café."
St. Pete Times Shannon Colavecchio-Van Sickler did a little blurb about a prostitute finding it difficult to get any business in Seminole Heights and so asked a cop for a ride to Fowler Avenue. Needless to say the cop declined.
Let's not forget the "Cafe in a cage" on Clifton and Nebraska. Although I wouldn't call that positive development. Who wants to eat a meal in a used tire shop, surrounded on 5 sides (yes 5) by metal fencing with the view of the lake blocked by a metal trailer?
ReplyDeleteFirst Family Dollar. Now this. All the work to chase off hookers just so the street can attract more low-income-oriented businesses.
We need to make sure that Cafe in a Cage is legal. I was able to get place closed down at Shadowlawn for running an illegal restaurant off an BBQ license. What's the name of the place and the address? I will check DBPR and other sites.

It's legal. Susan Long already checked it out. They're using some sort of loophole related to the trailer.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the address and I'm unable to find the business on the Verizon superpages. It's on the NE corner of Clifton and Nebraska. Right next to the fabulous Hampton Terrace sign.
