I agree that this was not an in-depth social history of the neighborhood, but perhaps it will lead to future projects that address the questions you pose. A sequel might be a good place to discuss how and why the neighborhood changed, desegragation, and construction of the Interstate highway system. I would add to your questions -- what makes Seminole Heights unique among Tampa neighborhoods?Lucy D.
