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. |

Good deal. Is your job actually in Tampa or is just in the Tampa area? I know that the North Tampa area is growing quite a bit and I have heard that Wesley Chapel is a good place to live which is just a little bit north of tampa.

I spent 3 weeks in Clear Water, FL across the bay. I really liked the area.

Tampa used to have phenomenal titty bars... I think they passed an ordinance prohibiting naked lap dances, now, though. DRATS!!

Man, you can get 2 bedroom condos with ocean/Bay views in Hyde park for $140-$150K. Ranch homes near beach Park for $190K. Looks like the houses selling for $488K one year ago are going for $225K now. Combine that with my huge jump in pay and all the overtime I want.....thats pretty appealing.
