I don't think USF Housing bought the Fontana/Edge building recently; looks like developer Edwards Companies out of Columbus, Ohio did. Edwards locally operates The Province Apts. over on McKinley Drive just south of USF campus. Even though it is a tear down with new replacement construction, regulators might not let them get building permits until Fletcher is widened--Fletcher is over capacity now for handling car traffic.

Freshmen from the surrounding counties are exempt, like Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco counties. Illegal? Kind of drama queenish. If you do not like the rules, then you can always go to anoth

Does John Knox still have the "slow zone" where you can't go more than 35 MPH?

Yes, the senior zone is still there and the cops watch that area constantly.

Sterling built a nice new complex on 42nd, behind the Greenery. Across the street they built three story townhomes. Look nice though.

One of the reasons why I chose to go to USF. I visited a couple of buddies that lived in Fontana Hall. I had a blast every time.

Partied at CCs every night!

I loved that place. I lived there my freshman and sophomore years (01- 03). USF had to use it as well my second year because of the overflow of students living on campus that year. The freshmen on the women's soccer team lived on my hallway, too.

Great memories... Great times.

I remember our very first football team living there along with mens and womens soccer, and some of the baseball team when I was there. It was pretty cool

Thank god their demolishing that eye sore. Now if only John Knox were to go under as well, the university could really help steer off-campus development in that area.

42nd street needs better lighting and sidewalks for the amount of students that live in the area.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
