This was the original Seminole Heights blog with commentary about life in and around the urban neighborhood of Seminole Heights in Tampa, Florida. Musings about other topics as my mood permits. The blog is essentially inactive since I moved to Lutz. Go to The Official Unofficial Seminole Heights Blog - www.seminoleheightsblog.com for active content.
I drove by the Starbucks today(Monday) just before noon and noticed one of the windows had been smashed. I hate to think the worst, and hope it was just a construction incident, but given the previous vandalism one never can tell.
In my former city, Portland, Maine, there was a huge rebellion against the Starbucks going in downtown; Portland had many independant coffee shops locally owned. they had their window smashed almost as quickly as they replaced them. The window breakers have graduated from college and left, but Starbucks is still there.....I think they have a "rebellion driven window smashing" allocation in their budget
