Once more another blog has been started in Seminole Heights. This new one is called Bike Stories and is written by Alan Snel, a Hampton Terrace resident.
I've lost count but I think there are about 17 to 20 blogs written in Seminole Heights.
Between Running Through Tampa and Bike Stories we ought to be getting plenty of exercise. And with Cooking with Miklb we ought to be eating well.
Bert Wahl is or was one of our infamous Seminole Heights residents, running a wildlife shelter out his house. He was found guilty of animal cruelty. After getting closed down by the state, his house fell into disrepair, and recently you could see holes in the roof. No more. It's torn down.
One way to seek more influence for Seminole Heights is for residents to join some of the various boards and commissions the city has in place. There are vacancies on most of the boards.
The Business Guild of Seminole Heights (BGOSH), is now set up to start accepting paid membership. Membership is $30. Associate membership is $15 (available only to those whose business is not located in the Seminole Heights area but who are supportive of BGOSH).
Checks must be made to: Business Guild of Seminole Heights. Due to Patriot Act rules they can not be made out to BGOSH. You can mail your checks to BGOSH c/o Sherry's YesterDAZE, 5207 N. Florida Ave., Tampa FL 33603.
Please include a business card if your check does not indicate your business/membership name.
From Susie of the Seminole Heights Bookgroup,
"The City of Tampa has a program going on right now where you can get a tree planted FREE in the city right-of-way (i.e., the curb/lawn area). My across the street neighbor, Drew, just had one planted and another is on the way. It looks like a live oak, about 6-8 feet high. A nice tree. Apparently the City has lots of excess trees and funds for this program.
If you are interested, call the City of Tampa Parks Department at 274-8615."
"Community Tree Program
The City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department in 1997 established the Community Tree Program. The program fosters the replenishment of Tampa�s valuable and gracious tree canopy. Trees are a community resource that provides tangible benefits, in terms of visual and aesthetic attributes, environmental assets, health benefits, and economic value.
The City of Tampa recognizes the benefits of its trees and is committed to the conservation and enhancement of its environment. The Community Tree Program is free and provides individuals and neighborhood associations with trees for planting on City land, greenways, and street right of ways.
The goal of the program is to plant 1,000 trees annually as a way to enhance the neighborhood and help sustain Tampa�s community forest and shade canopy. The program encourages community involvement at both the time of planting, and beyond � encouraging a sense of responsibility and environmental stewardship in citizens across the city.
To request trees planted in your neighborhood go to the Community Tree Program application."
This is the third time I've tried to write this article since last night. Let's see if I can get it out before the computer crashes.
We have a new business in Seminole Heights. Actually South Seminole Heights. Van Gogh Signs. The business is being started by Jimmy Ciaccio who also owns Gaspar's Grotto Patio Bar and Grille in Temple Terrace. They are a graphics/sign business. One of their products will be images of old Tampa/Florida.
They have renovated the old gun shop gas station on Florida and Wilder just north of Covivant. They have done a very nice job with the remodeling and landscaping. They will be moving in their equipment on Monday but will not be open to the public yet. They also have a website address that is not ready for the public. www.vangoghsigns.com. I will be adding them to my sidebar once the site is up and running.

Another Seminole Heights resident makes it into the paper in a story about insuring old houses
Citizens Forced To Cover Old Florida Neighborhoods, Too
Tampa Tribune - Tampa,FL,USA
So she was stunned to learn that Citizens, created by the state, was the only insurer that would cover the bungalow she bought in Seminole Heights, a few miles ...
There's a story in the Trib about the city rejecting the offer by OSHNA to buy the Seminole heights Garden Center. I had heard that all 3 associations were getting otgether with the Central City CDC to try to buy it. I havve also heard they were looking at another property to use as a community center also. Let's see where that goes.
Well, lets see if the city keep their word and fixes up the Garden Center.
There is an article in the Trib about our Starbucks being co-owned by Magic Johnson's non-profit Johnson Development Corp. This is interesting because over the years at least 4 SE Sem Hts neighbors talked about Magic Johnson's urban Starbucks program and seeing if we could invite him to open up here. I don't know if anyone followed upon that idea, but I suspect some had, so perhaps they are responsible for the Starbucks coming here. Diane, Collins, Rohanna Chomick, Beverly Morrow, Betsy Heavey and Stacy McColley all expressed that idea.
There has been something new added to the mix regarding the Tribune yanking the Central Tampa Edition. I read in the Tribune that that on March 6, the St. Pete Times will be having its version of the Weekly Planet, the TBT* go to a 5 day a week format. Instead of using the TBT* initials, they will be calling it by its full name, the Tampa Bay Times. The Tribune has reacted by launching a suit against the St. Pete Times. The Tampa Tribune owns the rights to the name of the Tampa Times, a paper that was merged with The Tribune in 1982. There was a previous lawsuit on this issue several years back, when the St. Pete Times began calling it's Tampa edition The Times. That lawsuit was settled with the St. Pete times backing off.
How does this affect us and our battle over the Central Tampa Edition? It might put more pressure on the Tribune to consider renaming the South Tampa edition to something more inclusive like the Tampa Times edition, and thereby bringing that name out in front of the public.
Or it might give us Central Tampa residents a venue that we are lacking in the Tribune. This might tie in with the Nuclear Option. Canceling subscriptions and advertising.
I have heard many residents talk about canceling their subscription to the Tribune if they do not reach an accommodation with us. What would happen if we made that an organized effort? If we created a "Cancel The Tribune Subscription Day" and recruited everyone we know in Central Tampa to cancel their suscription?If we put it in our newsletters, on our websites and our blogs? Handed out flyers? And made this a year long campaign? If we pushed "Don't Advertise In The Tribune" campaign also all year long?
We could enter into talks with the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Bay Times to see if they would gives us back the recognition of the community identity the Tribune has discarded? What if we sought sponsorship for our neighborhood homes tours, fundraisers and other Central Tampa events from the St. Petes times and TBT? See the St. Pete Times balloon all over the place instead of the Tribunes? What if we could swing a deal where people who switch over to the St. Pete times as part of the cmapaign would get a discount on their subscription? Or if we worked a deal where as part of any membership in the Civic Associations you would get so many weeks free of the St. Pete Times. What if we could get a deal where would get some initial discount on advertising rates?
Why would the Times agree to such breaks? As loss leaders to improve the Tampa circulation figures for the Times. I'm looking at an ad in the Tribune that says 9 out of ten newspaper readers in Hillsboorough County read the Tribune? What if between such a newspaper boycott and the introduction of the TBT 5 days a week that changed to 8 out of ten or 7 out of ten? That would not look good to the Tribunes advertisers and would mean a cut in revenue. Advertising rates are based on circulation. So less circulation would mean they would have to charge lower advertising rates.
This type of boycott/buycott would have a good chance of succeding as compared to prior ones, because it is based not on politics but on local coverage. As a moderate to liberal Republican often I am more politically leaning towards the St. Pete Times, but it is that local coverage that keeps me with the Tribune.
By the way more and more people are planning on attending. I was told that the Seminole Heights Book Club moved its monthly meeting to Wednesday so they could go to the Tribune meeeting.
The sequel to Fishing with Sharks. Today we bought a car. Actually all day today we bought a car.
After I wrote that blog article, Sondra Arnold wrote suggesting we try the auto buying service with whatever credit union we belong to. So online we go and found out that MacDill Federal Credit Union deals with Florida Auto Group on Florida Avenue across from Stephanos Pizza (old Rigo's). Susan checked out their website and found it was is really good. It lists the cars, gives lots of details including the price and includes a link to check out their history on Car Fax. Susan has done all the research (Consumer Reports Used Car Buying Guide) and knows the kind of cars she wants. She spots several cars that look good.
So having taken the day off today because it is Susan's birthday, we go car hunting again. We had a plan. Nikkos for breakfast. Then 9:00 AM. Florida Auto Group. 10:00 The Credit Union Presidents Sale at the Glazer Family Corporate Welfare Stadium (aka Raymond James Stadium) Afterwards CarMax again. At 9:00 AM sharp we hit Florida Auto Group. The man who greets us gives us a business card and brochure and leaves us alone. We find two cars that interest us. One we dismissed immediately because it belonged to a smoker. (We can tell if a smoker even breathed on a car) The other one, a 2003 Ford Focus, we liked well enough to take a drive. Not a bad little car. Only 30,000 miles on the odometer. We tell the salesman Frank Perez that we will be back (in our best Arnold imitation - actually not) and leave.
On the way to the stadium we gird up our loins. As we were going to the Shark Tank to swim with the sharks, we needed to be at our best.
This event is occurring the the grass parking lots to the south of the stadium. We pull in and park. We barely get 10 feets from our car when we get assaulted be a shark. "Let me help you find what you are looking for" I bark out the line that became my mantra, "We're fine" while thinking in my mind, "bug off!" We wind out way through the gaunlet until we reach the safety of the credit unions tent. After finding out the how things work in this 4.59% sale, we tend out wounds and strike out to search in earnest. Again "We're Fine" spitting out of my mouth as we get approached. We know what we want, we just to see who has it. Most of the cars have big red tags that list the regular price and then the sale price. Easy to tell what cars are in our price range. Until we stumple into Brandon Mitsubishi. They do that cheesy game where there is no price, only a code that the shark knows and so you are forced to talk to them. Not for us though, we pass them buy and keep looking. Having looked at cars at Carmax and Florida Auto Group, we started to realize that we were at the Wrong Presidents Day Sale. I though this was the honest Abe Lincoln and George Washington Presidents' Day Sale. Instead we were at the lying George W Bush /Dick Cheney Presidents' Sale. The discounted prices were still high and it turns out the $5000 discount was a minimum $5000 trade in for our car. We leave the grounds and when we arrive at out car, we decomtaminate ourselves with handiwipes. We felt so dirty, just being surrounded by all those (fill in the blank with your choice of choice words.)
So off to CarMax we go. A saleguy meanders by, gives us his card and goes away. We check out the PT Cruisers which I love but those seats are hard and uncomfortable. We grab the sales guy and test drive a 2001 Saturn (52 k miles) which was also not bad. We head home to get some lunch as I did not want to make any decisions feeling lightheaded.
The decision. Let's Get Focused! So we trek over to Florida Auto Group. We meet Scott and Frank Cannella and tell them we want the car, we get our buyers form and go to the credit union to get our paperwork. We come back and at 5:00PM we own the beige 2003 Ford Focus. Zip over to Stephannos Pizza for one of their great Cobb Salads and home we go. For dessert we eat some very tasty Flan Con Coco from Magy's Dessert (3101 N. Armenia Avenue) that Ginny and Virginia brought over for Susan's birthday.
Now all we have to do is sell Caddie Beamer, Susan's 1990 Toyota Camry. (That car is named Caddie Beamer in a sort of a pun. We bought our first house in Forest Hills from an elderly lady named Caddie Beamer. And will Caddie short Cadillac and Beamer for BMW, well we could not resist. Yes we name all of our cars now. My red Ford Ranger is named Azi, short for Isaac Azimov. We don't know what the Focus will be called.)
So. My recommendations. Want to buy a car? Try Carmax and Florida Auto Group. The sales staff at both places are low key and leave you alone. Plus you can check out their inventory online and get all the details you need. However to buy at Florida Auto Group you need to be a member of a credit union. If you are not a member of a credit union consider joining the Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union. To join all you need to be is a member of one of the three Seminole Heights Civic Associations. Want a good Cobb Salad? Go to Stephannos.
Now someone might take me to task for buying a car from one of the used car lots in Seminole Heights. The problems is not some much that we have used car lots, but that we have so many and that most are ugly. Hey, they gave me the best deal with good service. I'd say keep them and get rid of the rest of those car lots. Maybe we can work on them improving the look of their lot. One other thing. They have a lot cat that lives in the office and hangs outside the front door, that seems to be well cared for. In the vestibule area outside the front door is has a bowl of cat food, a water bowl and even a cat house. Anyone who treats their lot cat that well has got to be good people.

I received this email that was sent to Pam Iorio, Mary Alvarez, Kevin White, Linda Saul-sena, Rose Ferlita, Shawn Harrison, John Dingfelder, Gwen Miller, Roy Lamotte, Cynthia Miller, Thomas Snelling, Curtis Lane, Bill Doherty, Donald Skelton and Tony Garcia.
There are too many places in Seminole Heights where the sight is obstructed by grandfathered fences orby people parking on the right away. The worst offenders are car lots or car repair places. This letter is the sad result of this. This death was preventable!
Solutions:
1. TPD and Code need to cite every property owner who parks or has people parking on the right away.
2. Sight obstructions need to be modified, even if they were grandfathered in. Does a city ordinance need to be passed requiring these modification even for grandfathered places.
There are many places where this needs to be done. The fence for the cell tower at Giddens and Nebraska for example.
All,
I am the president of the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association. Yesterday I received the following email:
Randy & Others:
Mike's sister attends HCC and lives in our mother-in-law quarters. Her best friend dropped her off last night around 9:30pm. Her friend was struck and killed as she pulled out from the intersection of Florida and Powhatan. Mike and I visited Rose Ferlita this morning who promised to immediately call the transportation department for an investigation. It is our belief that she could not see past the fence to view oncoming traffic. The intersections along Florida on both the east and west side are so dangerous! I find myself in the same situation every week. Is there anything else we can do as a neighborhood to get the fences and parked cars moved back so this does not happen again?
Thanks.
Diana & Mike Massimini
I went to that intersection and, facing westbound on Powhatan, tried to peer around the corner to the oncoming northbound traffic on Florida. It is impossible to do. The used car lot on the southeast corner has a fence up along the sidewalk and minivans parked up to the fence. There is no space between the sidewalk and the road. There is also a utility pole on the sidewalk.
Powhatan is not alone. Up and down Florida Avenue there are line of sight issues from the local (city) streets onto Florida Avenue (FDOT). The majority of these are the fences and cars of used car lots. Meanwhile, traffic on Florida Avenue, flowing within an inch of the sidewalk, regularly exceeds 50 mph.
Are there any transportation requirements regarding visibility? Are there zoning requirements requiring setbacks of fences? If the obstructions are grandfathered, can it not be revoked if the city can show that there are legitimate issues of safety?
I have always felt that the first priority of government was to provide a safe environment for its citizens. Flora Revesz, the woman who died, was 32 years old, an honors student in forensics at HCC, had been accepted to continue her education at USF and was engaged to be married. Her only mistake was driving through our neighborhood. How many more will have to suffer the same fate before these intersections are made safe?
I would like to invite each of you to take a stroll down Florida Avenue during rush hour, or at 9:30 at night, when this accident occurred, so you can experience first hand the conditions that residents. their guests and pedestrians face every day. Please let me know your availability.
Thank you.
Randy Baron
President
Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association
Yesterday, I received this email from Helen Harmon:
"This afternoon a dark grey or green, late model, Dodge pick up truck with a black trailer unloaded a large amount of yard waste and garbage in the driveway of 1201 E. Idlewild (at the corner of 12th and Idlewild). They dumped a number of tree stumps and branches along with a television set, steering column, and a chair. There was so much debris that it partially blocked the road.
These folks did not have permission to dump this material and probably hauled it away from somebody else’s yard. Please contact me if you can provide any additional information about this situation."
Although not bungalow, these townhouses were acceptable due to their location. Multifamily residences along our business corridors is a good thing. More people to buy more things.
Construction On 3 Town Houses To Begin In Months
The Tampa Tribune Thu, 16 Feb 2006 4:19 AM PST
"Three town houses will replace a vacant two-story apartment building damaged in a fire about two years ago. "
"The parcel, east of Florida Avenue, is viewed as a buffer between the commercial-heavy avenue and a grid of tree-shaded residential streets."
"The three-bedroom, 2 1/2 -bathroom town houses will be $230,000 to $250,000. One-car garages will be built off an alley at the rear of the property; the dirt alley will be paved.
"It's the new urbanism philosophy," Umansky said. "If I don't have to put a driveway in a front yard, it looks so much better. That's what [alleys] were originally meant for, so let's use them."
Let all your friends and neighbors know about this meeting. Lets see if we can get 500 people to show up like we did at the Town Hall meeting. Here is a flyer you can print up and hand out. Or email this to your friends by clicking the email link on the bottom of the post.
Interesting history. Seminole Heights was the site of a pollution cleanup at 1919 E. Paris Street. This was the former site of the National Linen Service before it burned down. There were two other dry cleaners operating out of that site before National Linen moved in.
The following timeline is from the Tampa Tribune (10/23/95)
An April 6, 1996 Tribune article noted:Dec. 1988: National Linen Service tells DEP an underground storage tank leaked diesel fuel at its property at 1919 E. Paris St.
March 1992: HRS Hillsborough County Public Health Unit identifies chlorinated solvents in private drinking wells located to the east and northeast of the business.
Sampling through September shows about 15 contaminated wells, as high as 15
times above state Safe Drinking Water standards.
May 1993: Kemron Environmental Services, consultants for National Linen Service, reports 47 domestic wells near the facility are listed in Southwest Florida Water
Management District permit logs without addresses.
Sept. 1993: DEP warns National Linen Service about potential violations and requires company to assess the contamination.
Oct. 1993: DEP meets with National Linen Service, which says it never used chlorinated solvents for dry cleaning.
Dec. 1993: Health department checks records, finds no sampling in area since September 1992. Kemron reports back to DEP that follow-up investigations show "no private drinking water wells were found to the south and west of the site."
May 1994: DEP technical review staff notes discrepancies in Kemron's assessment of private wells and groundwater flow.
Dec. 1994: Kemron contacts health department with news of seven additional wells. Four test positive for solvent contamination. Tainted well owners receive bottled-water vouchers and free hookup to city water system.
Jan. 1995: Kemron writes to DEP: "A more intensive well search may be required to identify all wells. ... It appears the magnitude and extent of contamination is larger than originally thought."May 1995: Health department continues house-by-house well survey, samples wells a half-mile west of site and finds contamination seven times above Safe Drinking Water standards.
Oct. 1995: Lab results show 64 of 134 wells in area contaminated as high as 20 times above standards. Health department awaits results on 12 more tests.
"Soil samples on the property were contaminated eight times above state cleanup standards for tetrachloroethylene (PCE), a cleaning solvent that causes cancer in laboratory mice.And
A monitoring well one foot north of the property pumped up groundwater samples of PCE 61 times above what the state considers safe for drinking.
As wells spread farther from the property, PCE concentrations decreased.
Neighbors -- including one man whose wife worked for the dry cleaners at the site -- said former operators dumped lint and sludge along the south of the property. A woman who lived next door said she often smelled strong solvent odors in her shower drain and outside her house."
"Officials also had trouble finding about 120 private wells in the area.
They did not know so many residents still tapped private water supplies in the old city neighborhood where water service has been available for half a century. Tests showed 64 wells were tainted with unsafe levels of PCE."
And
Presumably everyone with well got hooked up and the problem was cleaned up."For now, the investigation is bound by Sligh Avenue to the north, Hillsborough Avenue to the south, 24th Street to the east and 15th Street to the west.
But that could soon change, Phillips said. "Contamination has been found well beyond all four of those boundaries.""
