House Fire in Tampa Heights at 408 Hugh Street




Early monday morning there was a house fire at the home of Davey & Sharon Zeigler in Tampa Heights. At around 3 a..m Clint Bowers, next door neighbor was awoken by noise & flames coming from the electrical panel. He quickly alerted the Zeiglers and they were able to escape with no major injuries. The Red Cross has found temporary housing for the family. Please, let this be a warning to all of us. I know these old houses can get really cold but please follow these few tips. Don't fall asleep with space heaters running. Make sure if you do run space heaters to have them pull off of separate breakers. If you have keyed deadbolt locks leave your key in them when you go to sleep. Test your smoke alarms, etc.

Reviews?

Anyone been to Ella's yet? The Independent? Care to tell us about your experience? Send it in!

I'm curious about The Independent and meant to go in there myself on Friday night, but the storm stopped me. The only thing I seem to hear with frequency is that it's expensive. Can anyone comment?

The Independent

Our Seminole Heights neighbors to the north of us, have finally got their own version of St. Pete's famous beer hall, The Independent . They are having a "soft opening" tonight (Oct. 8) and the "Grand Opening" on Friday. So if you like good beer / wine and conversation feel free to stop by and check it out. Make sure you grab something to eat before you go though, because they are not currently serving food. ( Might I suggest Grass Roots or Ella's) The Independent is located at 5016 N Florida Avenue (Just south of Hillsborough Ave)
