Here is one of the oldest and most important documents of our neighborhood.  It shows Temple Crest and Temple Terrace in the mid-19th century.  To view the map, click below:

1843 Survey  (be patient - large file)

The survey was recently discovered by Grant Rimbey, President, Citizens for the Revitalization of Temple Terrace.  If you want to learn more about Temple Terrace's planned revitalizations, please visit the CRTT website at http://www.pfweb.com/CRTT/ or the City of Temple Terrace Redevelopment website at http://www.templeterrace.com/revitalize/index.htm

*********************

These are truly great times for Temple Crest.

First, we have 40th Street under construction, a miracle to behold after 50 years of trying to get this road renovated.  We continue to thank Mayor Pam Iorio for this marvelous investment in our neighborhood.

Second is another jewel in our crown, the year-old Sylvia Kimball Rodriquez Elementary School, which was dedicated during a ceremony I attended yesterday on March 29, 2009.

Third, we are now beginning the form-based code planning for the 40th Street Corridor, the next phase in our Renaissance of the 5 neighborhoods that line this now, magnificent parkway.

Finally, there is Orange Lake.  Truly a gem, and a jewel, Orange Lake is a wetland in trouble.

Surrounded by a dense urban area, it is the small scale example of how we are failing to take care of Mother Nature, yet we still expect her to take care of us.

When the documentary is finished it will contain at least 3 chapters…so watch your mailbox. You will receive the final DVD, which I hope to have completed later this summer.
