Hillsborough County Is "Listening"—But Are They Widening The Right Roads?

Let’s face it: that morning crawl on Fish Hawk’s main drag (and getting nearly trapped on I‑4 “Hell Highway”) isn’t just annoying, it’s mile after mile of potential expansion. Hillsborough County is updating its Corridor Preservation Plan (last revised 15 years ago!), tracking traffic trends from now to 2070 as we approach 2.5 million residents.

Here’s the kicker: they do want your input—PLUS they set up in-person sessions at local libraries (Valrico, Bearss Avenue, Town ’n’ Country) and online feedback runs through August 15.

So before your next commute turns into bumper‑car bingo, weigh in. Tell them where to add lanes, toss in roundabouts, or just say “do better.” After all, they’re planning long after we’ve moved on, better make the roads count.

💧 You Can’t Outrun a Leak

Why Your Pipes Might Be Plotting Against You

Let’s be honest, when most of us think about plumbing, it’s usually after something goes terribly wrong.

Like when your toilet starts gurgling like it’s possessed.
Or your shower suddenly becomes a foot spa you didn’t ask for.
Or worse, when your water heater gives up mid-shampoo and you’re left questioning every life choice.

But in Florida, those “oops” moments can get real expensive, real fast—especially with storm season back on our doorstep.

🌀 Storm Season = Stress Season (for Your Pipes)

The rain’s coming. The ground gets soggy. Your pipes shift. Tree roots stretch out like they just did hot yoga. Your sewer line groans under the pressure of every neighborhood flush.

In other words, your plumbing is going through it—and unfortunately, it’s not going to text you a heads-up when it’s about to break.
