There is a very good article in the Trib called Businesses Reach for New Heights by our great Trib reporter, Kathy Steele.
I agree with Larry Olsen. All you South Tampa businesses who want to move here, get in now while the going is good, before the prices start going insane! (Sorry - flashbacks to some old commercials).
There is still even more opening up or being redeveloped than the article mentions and I hope to have some more stories. I have a lead on an engineering business that is moving to Seminole Heights, remodeling a run-down business site.
Also there is another story about Home Improvement Program Could Have New Digs at 5023 N. Florida Ave.
Going back to the story on Businesses Reaching for New Heights, I have to add two comments. Angelica, you did this to your self. I do not see chains gobbling up small businesses here.
Jeff Craft. You are full of crap. We do not need wealthy investors or large corporations to make our businesses district work. We need more people like Young of Blue Sky, Sherry of Yesterdaze, Milton of Coffee Bean, Jimmy of Van Gogh and etc. Jeff, that is the problem with old Business Alliance. Full of naysayers. The residential area improved because people getting one house done at a time within strong neighborhood organizations. The business district will be the same. One business at a time. And it is working! Jeff, your last name should be Jeff Crap.
OMG! laugh absolutely OUT LOUD- your comments about Craft and Anglecia are SPOT ON! (or should that be Spit On?)
ReplyDeleteWay to tell it like it is. Mr. Craft has done more to negatively affect the types of business investment most people say they want to see in SH.
time to go clean my monitor- couldn't help but spray it with coffee
Jeff Crap ? That's really funny!! But I don't know what he's done to deserve such a title. I have known him for quit some time & all i have ever seem him do for this community is good. He has given both time and money to mamy projects to improve this community. His office looks good and he did a nice job on fixing up the building next door.
ReplyDeleteNow about the other business's you have mentioned
Van Gough & Yesterdaze look good!
Coffee Bean didn't make the cut.I quess the neighborhood wouldn't support it.
Young of Blue Sky? who, what & where?
