In Response to Re: Thinking about moving.:
I'm from Tampa, FI is from Palm Harbor and I can say it's a pretty good place to live. Are you moving to Clearwater, or the surrounding area? Clearwater itself isn't anything special, if you're moving to the beachy area I would suggest St. Pete. Here are is the ugly about the area: traffic is a nightmare here, we have an area called Malfunction Junction, and the snowbirds slow the roads. It rains everyday for an hour for the summer, usually 4-5. People freak the h#ll out about hurricanes, but they aren't bad, get some beer, propane, water, and ride it out. It's humid, like REALLY REALLY humid, 110% humidity during the summer, and heat gets to the 90's+. Clearwater beach isn't that good, except for Sheperds, it's where a lot of tourist and high schoolers go. Pass-a-grille, Anna Maria, Siesta & Longboat key are the beaches to go to. The good: There's ton of stuff to do here! Beaches, Channelside, there's always a concert/sports game to go to, Ybor is DISGUSTING!! only go there with the intentions to buy crack or get shot/stabbed, Hyde park is awesome, downtown Tampa has Fly Bar, Taps, and the Performing Arts Center that's really fun. Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, Orlando is about an hour away and you have tons of stuff there. If you go the other way you have Bradenton and Sarasota, which has Dali Museum and Ringling Museum. And the BEST: It's January 21st, and the high is 77 low is 55!!!!!!

Is Ybor that bad? I thought that I had read recently how they had cleaned it up? Or maybe they're in the process of it. Now I don't remember which and it's been years since I've been there.
