Old Tampa Heights Blue Ribbon to become Family Dollar

Thanks to Torgo, for submitting this in a comment (oh, and for anyone else curious the link to submit news is the very first link under Links in the left-hand column!):

Urban Improvement?
Well, I was hoping for better news, but I finally found out what's replacing the Blue Ribbon Supermarket in our adjacent southern neighborhood, Tampa Heights, at the sw corner of Columbus and Tampa St. I'm told through reliable resources that it's going to be a Family Dollar.

I guess the good news is it's no worse than what it is now (i.e., unkept vacant building).

I can't say I'm stoked about it, but at least it won't be an empty building and lot. I know Publix or Sweetbay were out, but maybe I was holding out for a indie grocer or at least a farmer's market or something.
