Just another urban neighborhood experiencing Gentrification, which is the cause of the problem.

Not sure it's going to impact tourism...that area is not a tourist destination...but I was 15 during the Summer of Sam in NYC and David Berkowitz ability to move throughout 4 of the 5 boroughs truely gripped NYC...this is such a small kill zone but I'm sure for those people that live there it is terrifying...

If you are on the low rungs on the ladder, yes. There are many tourism related jobs that pay very well.

The TB economy depends on tourists - hotels, restaurants, airlines, even fast food joints. We tax tourists for practically everything - and those taxes pay for a lot of the improvements made to the area as well as allow us to live without a state income tax.

Preliminary rumors are stating that the police have found the suspect. He works at the McDonalds in Ybor. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but lets hope he is caught.

My fingers have been crossed for a while now. News reports came out and disproved that he worked in Ybor, but the Chief Dugan seems to be very optimistic about this arrest. I hope for the people of Seminole Heights that this is finally over.

guarded, but optimistic - watched his press conference and really gave out some mixed messages - seems too early to tell until they do ballistics on the gun - wonder if cell phone records can also incriminate.
