Tampa Museum of Art presents Mysteries of the Nile. It is beautiful and very interesting exhibit. Example the crocodile coffin, yes the crocodile was worshipped. The lid is wood and a small cavity has been carved out for the mummified remains of a crocodile. The crocodile was considered the embodiment of Sobek the main deity of the Faiyum Oasis. The boat symbolizes the journey to the afterlife which would have carried mummified remains. There are so many wonderful things to see within the museum. What a great way to spend an afternoon.

Restoration to the plaster work and repainting back to the original colors. It all started with deep cleaning of all the painted plaster and statues in the Duncan Auditorium. Tours are available to members on a first come basis. Tickets go really fast so if you get an email regarding a tour act fast. Movies are still being shown but in the smaller screening room and of course the popcorn is still fantastic.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING - MAY 21ST, 6:45 to 8PM
Place: Herman Massey Park hosted by DRANA. Come experience this newly renovated park with all the amenities our neighborhood has been asking for which is located on the corner of Franklin and Tyler streets. Tampa Police Captain Emilione and her squad will be there to meet neighbors and answer your questions. Herman Massey has a large dog park so bring your buddies and fur buddies. It will be fun.
We need to also start considering how we can join with the city to keep this park clean and safe.

Herman Massey Park was dedicated Tuesday the 21st. Drana's former president Kim Puleo was there and gave a speech. She spoke about the eight long years it took to get approval and funds. There are two dog enclosures, one for big and one for small. Lots of benches, table and chairs. Bring your lunch and bring your dog and chess sets. See you there.

This work should be finished by Wednesday, they have a lot of crew working on it today. The signage, art work, dog parks and landscaping are done. Lightning needs to be finished.
