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.

Suitcase City?
I know this is one awful picture but unfortunately camera phones don't have flash abilities and it was getting dark when I shot this.Just wanted you to know, incase you are getting ready to travel that you can get a free, less than perfect, suitcase from a conveniently located streetside pile at the luggage place on the corner of North Bay and Nebraska.This habit of periodically dumping the suitcases out for anyone to take meets with a less than enthusiastic response by neighbors, all of whom already have suitcases they actually purchased. This purging of the luggage store unclaimed damaged suitcases just becomes an attraction for the homeless. If the luggage shop genuinely wanted to do something worthwhile with the suitcases it would seem like a good idea to give them to a charity rather than to put them out in the driveway in the rain and sun and wait for scavengers to spread them around and make a mess.
To me, this just seems unbelievably lazy and cheap!
Suggestion FLyer, Call em when you need a case and get it before it gets weathered!
