What can be done about the prostitutes on Nebraska Avenue?
2008-08-31 19:57:00 This is the first of a multipart series on the topic. My ability to speak on this topic is due to my participation in the Southeast Seminole Heights Neighborhood Watch, The Exercise Club, and SESH NW Vehicle Patrol and for moderating the Prostitution Task Force (for which I and others did extensive research.) To deal with this problem requires cooperation and commitment on the part of the residents. There are 5 core strategies in dealing with the prostitutes and their Johns.

Ode to Nebraska Avenue
2008-08-14 14:15:00 According to her stepdaughter, Maggie Council (aka Dipietra) has a released a new record called Not In The House. Interestingly she says about her album "Nebraska Avenue ? Ode to southeast Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa. Every word is true. All the extraneous sounds are actually from on or near Nebraska Avenue, where Robert hung out with a field recorder. " Aside from being a musician, Maggie has a long association with WMNF radio which resides in Southeast Seminole Heights.Other comments about the album "Not In The House ? OK. I was watching a Jeff Berlin bass instructional video and reading a book about using words to frame arguments called ?Don?t Think of an Elephant? while wondering what would happen if the single mom with 4 kids I saw at the Laundromat [on Nebraska Avenue] ever became President."Here is the first track called Nebraska Avenue. Listen for the sounds. Copies of the CD can be ordered from her CD website for $12.97.

SESHCA seeks beautification of Nebraska Avenue
2008-07-30 17:29:00 From the SESH email list:"We met with the City of Tampa this morning regarding the Beautification of Nebraska Avenue. The meeting was very productive and positive. Funds will be made available for this project; however, the city and state have to go through their respective processes and we, as an association, have our work to do in order to put the project in motion. The state showed some concerns about other situations where Civic Associations have failed in their quest to maintain sections of roadway but Shannon Edge, Director of Community Relations was very quick to applaud SESCHA as . . . . . . . . passionate and active association in the City. I know many of you have expressed a desire to get involved in the project. . . . . . . The goal is to have our section of Nebraska Avenue finished by Super Bowl in January. While that may seem like a lot of time, there is much to do behind the scenes."

Missing Horse Found on Clifton Avenue
2008-07-12 19:50:00 According to the Tribune, a missing horse was found in the backyard of Clifton Avenue. A missing horse statue that was stolen from the front of the Tampa Museum of Art in 1998."a woman who lives in the home gave Baxter a few stories about how the sculpture came to be in her yard, eventually saying an ex-boyfriend had bought it at a yard sale for $25 in 1998"They don't give the address, except to say East Clifton, which could be or might not be in Seminole Heights, but I wondered if I had seen the horse when we drove around Seminole Heights, nothing certain, just an the odd feeling that maybe I had. Perhaps I mixed it up with the other horses around.Tampa owns other horse sculptures by Oleson, on Bayshore Boulevard.I remember when Oleson was alive he had a whole herd of sculpture horses pastured in his front yard on Gunn Highway in Odessa, just before the Flea Market. I always enjoyed driving by them.

I first learned of Forex trading while pursuing my MBA program. For those of you who have never heard of this, Forex trading is the exchange of foreign currency.I know I would have never even know this was an option for making money had I not found out in class. Most of the really big corporations have departments of people that do this for a living because it can be very lucrative if done correctly. The best news I have learned about this process of exchanging currencies is that many of the websites that you can sign up with to do this offer free trial accounts to help you learn before you invest your money into trying it. You won't make any money in the trial accounts if you do well, it is just pretend money essentially but with the real market conditions. If you do well in the trial account you will know...

Saks Fifth Avenue Limited Edition Havaiana?s Benefit Charity Water
2008-06-06 18:00:00 Bobbi Brown, Trish McEvoy and Laura Mercier worked closely with the Havaiana’s team to create three very special pairs of flip flops, limited edition season must-haves in fact! I’m constantly amazed by the trickling in of Brazilian influence on international style and culture. Now you may be thinking, flip flops are that important? yes, they are the icons of footwear, I’ve never met a Brazilian who didn’t have them. I seriously never, ever in a trillion years imagined the Havaiana’s I loved and left with no regard in Brazil would get designer attention some day abroad. But they are getting just that AND being sold in Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks.com (now there’s a link you don’t see everyday!) I can’t help but find them strange bedfellows for some reason but I’m a sucker for charity and I’m thrilled about Havaiana’s success! I also love the fact that the proceeds of the sale go to charity water. The price point,$1...

Real Estate Mutual funds REMFs: Fresh Avenue for retail players
2008-06-05 07:35:00 The Sebi recent move to allow mutual fund firms to play in realty space has opened up a new avenue for individual investors.It was a month ago that Sebi had approved the inclusion of real estate and issued a set of guidelines. Prior to that, only high net worth individuals were allowed to invest in realty directly. Now with realty brought under the MF guidelines, it will be much more transparent and regulated. It will encourage middle category investors to participate in the realty growth story with minimum investment. The timing is quite opportune as the real estate sector is currently experiencing strong winds from sub-prime bruised western markets, general fund crunch and a lull in the Indian IPO market. Allowing retail participation in real estate mutual funds (REMFs) will enhance liquidity and create a healthy secondary market for realty assets, observe industry analysts. The success of REMFs to a great extent would depend on how well the sponsors and fund managers voluntarily ...
