'ALL ROADS LEAD TO HOME'

June 29 article

Wow, that is so neat that Emily got pictures of the family and is putting them up. Way to go! Emily, you have really made some people's day.

by Karie

'Treasured Bayshore deserves extra protection'

June 22 guest column

Residential high-rises should be limited to Kennedy Boulevard. Think of the view from 20 stories up: You would have both sides of the South Tampa point. Water all around and the lights of the city. Then build a tram connecting the airport with downtown.

'Fly Old Glory, but properly'

June 29 article

This was a well needed reminder of proper flag etiquette. All of the patriotism after 9/11 has been great to see, but at the same time, something inside of me cringed every time I saw a flag improperly displayed or used.

by Pamela

The flag should not be used as attention getters for model homes. Many times in front of one model home I see four or five U.S. flags flying. Used-car lots will have many more than that as attention getters. Don't count on enforcement from the county.

'Townhome sales take off'

June 22 article

I rent a townhouse but would never buy one. I can't see buying something for the price the ones in my neighborhood are that doesn't have land attached to it. What will your kids play in ... there's no yard.

by Crystal

There is nothing wrong with some nice high-rises on the Bayshore. And yes, an overlay IS an onerous process, especially when the committee is made up of the kind of meddling, overinvolved busybodies that populate that part of Tampa.
