just moved here a little over a month ago. THe weather is amazing around now… no rain… 70-80 and sunny every day. Gets very hot and humid in the the summer though… and rains quite a bit

There is A LOT to do around here. The car scene is very big, but its everywhere. I can go on and on… if you want to know an specific details… shoot me a pm

also… thom (66impalass) and Sam on the board live around here too… thom is in st.pete but works in tampa… and sam lives in clearwater. Both a 20 min drive from tampa

lol… i guess you weren’t here long enough.

One season yearround, stripmalls, shitloads of old people and no character = meh IMO.

Its great for some people, but I could never do it.

The coolness factor of certain areas like FL wear off pretty quick for me.

Edit: out of all the cities in FL, I would probably live in Tampa FWIW.

honestly… tampa is not where old people are. I have seen more younger people than anything.

the upside… i live 30 seconds from USF (Universtiy of South Florida) many young people… :slight_smile:

i really have not seen many old people around here

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I lived there for a while, and my dad lives there now. Its nice. There is so much to do all the time, and its growing so rapidly. I’m sure you can find work there, there is so much to do. Another good thing about the state is even minimum wage is higher, so even crappy jobs pay well.

How’s living expenses their? I heard its a bit high but Im assuming the higher paying jobs evens it out. My parents have a condo in the Spring Hill area but theres really no business in that area from what they told me so that sorta stopped me from living down their for the winter.

Living expenses are more, and insurance is really high, but if you make more, it pretty much even’s out.
