South Seminole Heights Civic Association is pleased to announce that Michelle Guarino of 214 W. South Ave. has won the Fall 2021 Beautification Award! Her Classic Craftsman Bungalow is beautiful.
Michelle has been a neighbor of South Seminole Heights for 4 years. When she purchased her 1920s bungalow, it was renovated on the inside but needed some attention on the outside. Michelle spent about a year repainting, installing pavers, laying new sod, and planting jasmine. Michelle used her fantastic decorating skills to dress up the front porch, bringing out the charm one expects from a Heights bungalow. Inside, Michelle enjoys the original flooring and fireplace as well as archways leading from the kitchen into the living room.
Congrats to Michelle and her family for all their hard work maintaining the beauty of our neighborhood.
It’s lovely 🥰
Thank you for the honor of winning the 2021 Beautification Award! My son & I love living in SSH. Beautifying the exterior of the bungalow was a labor of love ❤️ -Your neighbor Michelle
Congrats from a fellow bungalow owner.
I love walking past this house! Absolutely beautiful
Congratulations
Georgous home

Hello Community. We are reposting this notice so specific information, obtained directly from the applicant, can be included. We wanted to offer everyone the opportunity to review this additional information.
Heights Meat Market on Florida and MLK has submitted an Alcoholic Beverage Application to the City of Tampa Zoning Administrator for beer and wine package sales for off-premise consumption. This location is the original Heights Meat Market, and this location was so successful, they have since opened 3 additional locations in Land O'Lakes, Brandon and Clearwater. The Seminole Heights location is the only location that does not sell beer. This application will allow them to offer an identical product selection at all locations.
If you have opinions to share about that application, please email TampaZoning@TampaGov.net or write to the address listed on the attached notice before October 28th

Smoking, mug shots and more: New laws hit the books in October
floridapolitics.com
Some laws take effect in July while others become law in October.
It is with the utmost concern for the children of our community that the SSHCA Board has cancelled the Halloween Trick-Or-Treating at Rivercrest Park this year. This decision was not made in haste, but in response to the surge of COVID-19 pediatric cases and no vaccines available for young children. The SSHCA much enjoys this annual event and are disappointed we cannot safely host this event this year.
While the event was held during the pandemic last year, COVID-19 infections among children were at the time, quite rare, and many precautions and safety rules were in place for a safe event.
We look forward to resuming the event in 2022, bigger and better than ever!
Still cancelled in light of Fauci’s most recent announcement?
