As a rower in the Tampa Bay Area and rowing on the Hillsborough River over the past four years. I was outraged when I heard the news that their was plans to remove the historic art work on the river left by some of the top rowing programs in the country. Furthermore, as an aspiring collegiate rower this art served as a visual goal for us to one day row at one of these schools and the fact that our government wants to destroy such a vital part of the rowing community is terrible.
