Weekly Planet and Shopping In Seminole Heights

Last week Weekly Planet did a story on places to shop in Tampa Bay area that aren't malls.

Seminole Heights was one of the areas noted.

"Tampa's second-hottest housing market (and the more affordable one) is known for its great historic houses and eclectic mix of neighbors, but not exactly its retail presence. Many of its major thoroughfares are either bereft of shops (Hillsborough Avenue) or crowded with dirty, indie used-car lots (Florida Avenue). But if you look close enough, Seminole Heights has a growing retail strip that makes it worth the trip to this enclave north of downtown Tampa. Plus, it's a great excuse to stop for lunch at the "Taco Bus" (El Taconazo) at Hillsborough and Nebraska"


He mentions Greenshift (great photo of Don Taylor), Karen's Place Antiques, Now and Again II, Covivant, and Sherry's Yesterdaze.

Thanks Wayne Garcia!
