It'd be an hour drive for me. I'd like something centrally located.

yep. Been here for about 2 months. View below from my living room taken while sitting in my barcolounger. Walked out to go to work last week and found a mantee just staring at me curiously. A lot better drive to work than going through the grandview triangle,

Someplace centrally located would be nice. It also depends how many people we have if we choose someplace that's new or not that busy, but there are several sports bars that are always packed.
A Beef O'Brady's just opened this month in Clearwater/St. Pete in the Feather Sound area. 2325 Ulmerton Road #3, Clearwater, FL 33762 - (727) 299-9464 Press Box in South Tampa is always PACKED: 222 South Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa, FL - (813) 876-3528 Courtside grill is a nice, upscale sports bar but also gets pretty busy. 110 Fountain Parkway North, St Petersburg, FL - (727) 561-7433 There are tons of Winghouse and a few Ale House locations. Buffalo Wild Wings shows all the games on large projection screens, and gets busy. 21688 US Highway 19 N, Clearwater, FL - (727) 723-9100 Those are some suggestions, but there are plenty of places all over the area.

Dude... I might make that jump down there?
How's the weather and how is it as far as raising my family their? Cost of living comparable to KC/LS or what? I wanted Florida with a little bit of winter just enough to barely miss it. Tampa might be too far south though. I love fall and spring months. Thing is... wifey's fam is in Mia, Jax and GA. Just trying to figure out if Tampa is a good place to be? What you got? |

I don't have kids, nor did I grow up in Tampa, so I don't know about the schools. Tampa does have a lot of imports. Many people from up north (Ohio, Michigan, New York, etc.). However, there are also many people who grew up in Tampa. This thread might be helpful to you: http://www.city-data.com/forum/tampa...ghborhood.html

I know Verizon is hiring jobs like you use to have when we worked together. Interested I can put you together with a fellow Planeteer that works there in tampa. It's hot and humid these days. July and August is the worst time here and its when I've been here. The trade off is 62 in january. I see no difference in the cost of living. Homes for sale are cheap. You can get a 2 bedroom condo for $100K in a good neighboorhood. A lot of people where I work moved in from out of state. Most of them are living in Brandeton (sp?) and Riverview. Say they have great schools, good neighboorhoods.

Verizon Wireless is indeed hiring. I've been told by several recruiters in the Tampa area that Verizon is one of the most difficult companies to get into, but once you're in- you're golden. I think the job market here is picking up though. I couldn't find sh*t for a year and a half, and then in the space of two weeks, I managed to score 4 different jobs before accepting the offer with Verizon. Quote:

I'll be in Tennessee for the Florida game, but I'll be back Sunday morning in time for the game. Unless I find out differently on Sunday, I plan on meeting at Hattrick's.
