The name will be changed to Rollin’ Oats. Sounds like a horse feed store, but maybe the quality and service will be better. I guess it couldn’t be worse. Nature’s Harvest used to be the only place in town for natural and organic groceries, but as soon as there was competition they went downhill:

From a peak of $6-million in annual business, Nature’s Harvest took a big hit with the arrival of Fresh Market and what’s now a Whole Foods Natural Market within 2 miles. Sales slumped to $3-million in 2007.

I used to shop there quite a bit, but after a while I got tired of bringing a package of fruit or vegetables home before finding out it had mold. Or watching 3 employees standing around while customers were waiting to check out. Or making a special trip just to find out half of the things that you needed were not available.

It’s sad to see a local business fail, but customer service is a necessity. Hopefully this new venture will be more successful.

The owner is a chef formerly at Soho Sushi (which moved from Howard Ave. to Kennedy Blvd) and Ceviche. I have only been there for breakfast, but I have heard that people really like their sandwiches. My favorite is the Ultimate Egg Sandwich. It’s a colossal stack of thick toast, runny egg (just right), lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. The place gets crowded on weekend mornings, so you might want to get there early (or later) than the usual breakfast hour.

The screening is free. Some information about the film:

The film was shot in and around Pinellas County by Oscar and Emmy- nominated Producer/Director Ron Satlof, a Pinellas resident.

The story centers on a religiously conservative, married southern woman who receives a message from God instructing her to act as a surrogate mother and carry a child for two married gay men who live in Boston - a Jewish doctor and and African-American dance choreographer. All “Hell” breaks loose when the African-American man comes to her home in the deep south to micro-manage her pregnancy, and he won’t leave.

Said director Satlof: “Regardless of where you are on the issue of gay marriage or religion in public life, this story has something for everybody.”

“Canoeing on tranquil Lettuce Lake; admiring the architecture in Hyde Park; seeing the Manatees at the Tampa Electric Co. Viewing Center.”

The ads feature quarterbacks Matt Hasselbeck of the Seattle Seahawks and Jason Campbell of the Washington Redskins giving travel tips for NFL cities, including Seattle, Washington D. C., and Tampa Bay (not a city, but close enough).

It wasn’t that long ago when you could walk through Hyde Park and still see dilapidated houses that made you wonder if they were still inhabited. Luckily, many of these homes were brought back from the brink by people who valued the past and could see the potential in the crumbling bones.

My neighbor Marie moved to Hyde Park in 1967 after her husband retired from the military. She loved traditional neighborhoods and wanted to live in a place that had sidewalks and bungalows. Her realtor though she was crazy, but took her to Hyde Park where she has lived ever since. If you really want to get to know Hyde Park sit down with someone like Marie and you will see the neighborhood come alive. She knows all about the residents who have come and gone, the big events and the constantly changing built environment.

With every passing generation it is inevitable that some history will vanish, but it’s important to save what we can. There are treasure troves of memories and experiences that will disappear without an effort to preserve them. It would be nice to have a program to collect the oral histories of our senior residents in Tampa.

Saturday, Aug 30

USF opens their season Saturday night against Tennessee-Martin at Raymond James Stadium. The game starts 7:00 p.m. This is one of the best deals around for college football. The Bulls are a local top 20 team that you can still afford to take the family to see play. They’re a great story for Tampa and fun to watch.

Labor Day Luau

Sunday, Aug. 31

A Labor Day party at Crabby Bill’s in Tampa (7700 Courtney Campbell Parkway). I’ve heard this place gets packed on the weekends so it should be nuts for this event. Here are some pictures from a recent summer party at Crabby Bill’s. It’s from 1:00 p.m. to 10 p.m.
