Anyone live near Tampa?

[95strokerPSU]

I just got offered a promotion to a plant in Pinellas Park, FL and would be moving into the Tampa area. I'd most likely live in Clearwater.

Anyone live near there?

What's there to do? Is it a good place for people in there 20's. Just any feedback on the area would be appreciated.

I'd be moving down by myself and wouldn't know anyone, but I just can't turn down the offer.

Thanks guys

I live in pinellas park and work in clearwater, there's a good amount of stuff to do around here between the beaches and ybor city (night clubs) and local bars. car meets, local 1/8mi dragstrip, 1/4mi strip not far away, etc.

Lots to do in that area. As mentioned above. Plus there are a ton of Stangs in the area and you can race year round.

I've lived in North Tampa for the last few years and really enjoy it. I hope to hit a few car shows this Fall/Winter when the weather cools down. I just need to get the car cleaned up. Maybe I will see you there.

Thanks for your replies. I emailed my resume on Monday and if I'm officially offered the job, I'm gonna take it. Hopefully I'll be starting 2008 in Florida.

I used to live in the Apartments down the street from the Olive Garden. Now I have a house on Cross Creek. I guess Im considered "New Tampa" now.

Awesome! Do you ever go to car meets anymore?

I just spent the last week in Clearwater and the surrounding area. Very nice, clean area. Seems like plenty of stuff to do, and I saw a ton of trick stangs running around on I-19.
