Reader's Story
You have to admit the real, untouched Florida, except for
beaches and swamps is pretty boring. My first husband was stationed at Camp
Murphy, US Army Signal Corps, during WWII at what is now Camp James (?)
Dickinson, between Stuart & West Palm. It was scrub pine, palmetto and sand with

In The Archives:
The Changing Face of South Hillsborough:
The rumors are flying about several big box retailers moving into
south county. The facts, however, are few. Yet one in every ten new
jobs created in the entire nation came from the Tampa-St.
Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan area. South county communities are
joining forces to become a strong player in that prospering market.
How will all of the changes effect our communities and area businesses
and what can south county shoppers expect from the future?
The three-part series is available on
the web:
Part 1 - Welcome
to SouthShore
Part 2 - Meet
the Neighbors
Part 3
- It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a Home Depot!
