Anyone have any neighborhood eatery recommendations here in Tampa Heights?
I haven't tried Grass Root, but I've heard some good things about the food (I've also heard get takeout because they don't have AC). Just this week in Creative Loafing's Best of the Bay Issue they gave them a BotB for Best Miso Soup. I really need to check that place out.
There's also that orange Two Plate Minimum joint over near there that has a hoppin' parking lot on most nights. Anyone had the food from there?
I have eaten at Pesto's, but I really can't give a full review because I just got salad.
So what're you eating, Tampa Heights?

What's the buzz?
If anyone has Tampa Heights news that they'd like to share, please send it on to maladrin AT gmail DOT com. I'd be happy to post it here.
In the meantime, I need to figure out how get more content up here more often. I started this blog because it seemed like a good idea, all things considering with the other Tampa neightborhood blogs. Then all of a sudden I clammed up once I did.

Wicked wreck on Indiana and Tampa St.
Last night while sitting at my desk working on my next show, I saw - or rather heard first then saw the aftermatch of - a nasty wreck at the corner of Indiana and Tampa St.
Two white older-model sedans totally made out in a very ugly way, knocking down a street sign, a for sale sign, kissing a telephone pole and also a retaining wall in the process.
Seems two girls were in the car going down Indiana and didn't stop for the stop sign (not a surprise - happens daily) and got nailed by a car coming down Tampa. The car the girls were in continued down Tampa until running into a wall, and the other car is the one that ate it into a street sign, for sale sign and telephone pole.
The best part was the two girls quickly got out of the car, grabbed their stuff and walked about a half a block away where they hopped into a brown Suburban and left the scene completely. I thought (as well the rest of my neighbors did that saw it) that the girls were intially just getting away from the vehicle.
No one got a tag. Looks like a forensics team showed up a bit later to dust the car down for prints before it got towed off. Stolen vehicle? Maybe. I don't understand why else someone would do that.
Good times ...

Introductions
I've been a Tampa Heights resident since July of 2004.
I was very excited to move to Tampa Heights, in the very first home for me and my wife. Previously residents of Sulphur Springs, we were attracted to the lower crime rate, cleaner streets and old 1920s bungalows that didn't come with the Seminole Heights price tag.
I'm now very proud to call Tampa Heights home. It's a 3-minute drive with very few stoplights and zero time on the interstate from my home to work in Downtown. I drive less and get out more. Sure, there could be more shops and places to eat closer to where I live, but it's getting better all the time.
There are several neighborhood-specific blogs here in Tampa, but I'd yet to see one for my 'hood and I thought it was time.
I'm not the most zealous of bloggers, but I'll do my best to post news often. Feel free to send me tips at maladrin AT gmail DOT com.
