mr. redner’s neighborhood
SmittyThe Tribune confirmed Tommy’s news that Joe Redner may run for county commission. But regardless of how this ends up, it appears he may be about to get some new neighbors.
The city has received a rezoning request for 8 acres on North Dale Mabry, currently occupied by Bennigan’s and the Days Inn. The property is about a tenth of a mile north of 
Redner’s notorious Mons Venus. The neighborhood is also home to Odyssey 2001 and Shangri-La, so residents at the new condos will have their choice of adult entertainment within easy walking distance.
The developer on the project—slated to consist of five 15-story towers and some retail—is Pradip Patel, who has tried to develop a handful of sites in downtown, but always sold out before the first shovel was turned. The question now is whether this new location will prove the charm, or whether the new neighbors will frighten the developer away from yet another project.

I want to announce that I am building a condo tower. For no real real but it just seems like the “thing” to do in Tampa these days.

Wonder how much the strippers will have to curtail their drug use to be able to afford those condos? And will they make the down payment in singles?

Sounds like a delightful selection of entertainment to me. Wow!
