Editor's Letter

In this issue of UC Tampa (formerly New Heights) – which is being read by 32,000 people who live in and between Tampa’s Palma Ceia and Seminole Heights neighborhoods – we’re attempting to erase that imaginary “us and them” Kennedy Boulevard boundary that many of us have drawn in our minds. To read this article click here. If this can be done, I believe that everyone will be better for it and that we will all have an improved understanding of
what our city was, is and will soon be.

Kindest Regards,
