Taken from LifeinSeminoleHeights - thanks Rick for posting this one on your site.
Our local post offices and individual carriers have been pushing for everyone to switch to curbside mailboxes. Sometimes with out-right lies "that it is required" to tenants, new owners, etc. Sometimes by just planting a mailbox curbside at vacant houses. IT IS NOT REQUIRED!
Part of living in a older neighborhood are traditional neighborhood characteristics like mailboxes on the front porch or mail-slots in the door or maybe at a garden gate mailbox. Mail carriers that actually know the people on their routes. If I wanted a box curbside then give me suburbia or take me back to the country where a round trip to the mailbox was a mile down a dirt and gravel lane..rain, snow or a 100 degrees.
Urban neighborhoods aren't right for rural route mailboxes and more than our porch boxes would be a home in the country. Why make mail theft easier? Why increase the potential for identity theft?
Curb your dog....not your mailbox.

Welcome to the Evelyn City Neighborhood
Evelyn City is a subdivision of a large Tampa neighborhood known as Old Seminole Heights and was initially developed in the early 1900s. For the purposes of this blog, the boundaries will be: the Hillsborough River to the north, 275 to the West, 22nd Street to the East and Sligh Ave to the South.
There are many issues that need to be addressed and resolved in the area, however I feel that this is a great neighborhood to live in. We have a wonderful diversity of homes, people, parks, and businesses.
