not such a pretty art district anymore

[edit]

should this be updated to reflect that SH has turned into a ghost-town of foreclosures and a cancerous "ghetto" has started spreading? I would not know how to word it, since i'm not a very good wordsmith. Stregamama (talk) 18:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Holding up well

[edit]

The recession has affected everyone, but I have not seen a deterioration of the commercial streets (although they do need attention) and most of the residential areas are holding up well compared to the suburbs. The neighborhood just held its first open-air vendor market at Hillsborough High School, including local artists. Tampa Street Market just remodeled their store and re-opened--they build "new" furnishings out of discarded items, something I consider art. Shawn dude (talk) 21:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seal

[edit]
1912 Hillsborough High School yearbook showing the original unaltered pages that were used to create the fake Seminole Heights Seal ad alongside of the altered image. Note the company name is incorrect on the fake.

It's great that a bunch of people want to keep this false seal alive. Honestly, I think it's funny. It's a colorful part of our history. But it only dates to about 2014. Outside of Wikipedia, tricking people about this is funny.

But on Wikipedia, using faked sources and basing all references off of those is a bit much for a site that's supposed to represent truth. Obviously Wikipedia doesn't represent truth. It'd rather have a bunch of people revert my edits, even though they contain a relevant source.

The seal is said to come from a 1912 Hillsborough High School yearbook. I found said yearbook. It's in the school's library. That seal is nowhere to be found in its pages. However, the pages that were Photoshopped together were. They clearly show that the "seal" didn't exist. And in fact, the person who made the seal changed the name of the company. Maybe that's an intentional clue. I don't know. Either way, that seal isn't in the 1912 Hillsborough High School yearbook.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 4thgenTPA (talkcontribs) 12:33, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
