Many 'angels' stop to help with flat tire

There are angels in Hernando County. I recently had a flat tire and found myself on the side of the road. After calling AAA for assistance, I waited for the truck. While waiting, not one, two or three, but at least five people stopped by to lend me a hand. They offered to change the tire, asked if I needed to contact someone and even gave me a bottle of cold water while I waited.

The last gentleman who stopped just got out of his truck and started changing the tire so I could get out of the hot sun. The AAA truck showed up and topped off the air pressure for the "doughnut" tire, and I was on my way.

I have never been so blessed and taken care of than by the angels in Hernando County. You know who you are.

  5. Tampa moves to put freed slave Fortune Taylor's name back on historic bridge

    12:19 PM HurricanesBy Richard Danielson, Times Staff Writer

    TAMPA — City Hall has agreed to return a long-lost honor to the memory of Fortune Taylor, a freed slave who amassed more than 30 acres near downtown Tampa after the Civil War.

    The Laurel Street Bridge over the Hillsborough River was once known as the Fortune Street Bridge in honor of Madam Fortune Taylor, a former slave and businesswoman who amassed 33 acres on the east bank of the Hillsborough River after the Civil War. The City Council voted Thursday to put Taylor's name on signs posted at the foot of the bridge and seek a historical marker telling her story. SKIP O'ROURKE | Times (2016)
