SEMINOLE HEIGHTS - The For Sale sign is up for real estate fronting nearly two blocks of Nebraska Avenue.

The future on one block could bring Key West-style apartments, shops and a bistro. They would replace a boarded-up store and a vacant lot on Nebraska between Louisiana and New Orleans avenues.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

It is absolutely amazing how far commercial development has lagged behind residential development in the Nebraska/Florida Ave corridor.

Baffling, utterly baffling.


In other cities I've lived in commercial development is right on the heels of residential development in emerging neighborhoods. Commercial developers want any morsel the residential development throws them, except in Tampa's Seminole Heights for some reason. I'm not even talking about CVS or crap like that.

Anything, anything...


The money continues to flow into Seminole Heights homes - I hear hammers and saws every day - yet the two major thoroughfares are a used car/mechanic/no-tell motel wasteland.

It makes no sense.
