Well, I've been here a year now and I have yet to find a job. The unemployment rate is the highest in the country = 12 percent.
If you have a job then you should make the trek. I do like Tampa, but I love its' location better. It is centrally located, so you're not very far from Orlando, Daytona, Sarasota, or even Ft. Myers/Naples. The summer weather is nearly intolerable, but the fall/winter seasons are remarkable. Let me know if you make it this way, BRC. Best of luck to you. P.S. Help me get a job!!!!! :D |
You were wise to pass on the Phoenix move.
Tampa? Ybor City is outstanding to visit, don't know about living there. Raymond James is one of my very favorite stadiums. This isn't very helpful is it? |
If you have children, I wouldn't move to Pinellas county(St Petersburg, Pasadena,Treasure Island, etc) unless you plan on sending them to private schools. The public school system made an agreement with the NAACP a few years back to start the "choice" program. The whole thing is based on the percentage of African American children in a school district. Where your child goes to school there has nothing to do with where you live. If your child is non-African American, they will place them in the school with the highest percentage of African American students.

BRC if you have a FB i can put you in touch w/ my mother. Shes about your age and has lived down there for 12 years and her oldman was in the army and has lived in the tampa area for the majority of his life.
She will help you out and is alot more interesting than i am. |
Tampa is great, I live in St. Petersburg and couldn't be happier with the area. If you get a chance at a decent paying job in the area then I would jump on it. The traffic isn't too bad and the night life is great. Avoid YBOR city that place has gone downhill. I highly recommend Hyde Park very cool part of town. Channel side is a great place to go out and have a drink. As mentioned before it is centrally located so your close to the whole state. Miami is 3 hours away, Orlando is 1 hour away.
St. Petersburg is very cool town. The big drawback is the amount of homeless that live downtown. I mean they are every where. The art scene is very cool in St. Pete tons of museums. It is a giant melting pot alot of everything lives in St. Pete. If you decide to live in St. Pete check out old northeast. The NY Times wrote an article about it a couple years back. |
