Kimberly's story in the Tampa Bay Business Journal circa 1998, was her first news byline.

You might find it interesting that this story entitled Artists and Developers Remake Warehouse Area is about the initial redevelopment of Tampa's Channel District that would eventually link it to Downtown Tampa's chic Ybor City.

The only thing in the district at the time was abandoned, ramshackle warehouses and the Florida Aquarium.

This story about the initial redevelopment of Tampa's Channel District was a precursor to downtown Tampa's booming economy.

Boy, that was a long time ago!

Published prior to mainstream digitization, this "Xeroxed" copy is all I have found among my portfolio clippings.

Heavily edited because I was new to working sources, the integrity of the story is still there. Needless to say, I have come a long way since then!

We are sharing it just for fun!
