ONE love, blood, life
I love hearing about where people live. The Cicada thread below got me thinking about this more, and so thought maybe a cool thread could result, and maybe inspire some road trips this summer! So, let's all talk about where we live and what we about our cities/towns.
I'll go first!
I live in Tampa, Florida. I've lived in Florida all my life, so I don't really know anything different from hot hot hot weather, beaches and the whole tropical thing. I love hot weather, so this is all fine with me. I think today it was in the mid 90s.
Anyway, Tampa is pretty much famous for our nightlife in Ybor City with its many crazy bars and pubs. We also have Busch Gardens, which is a loved tourist attraction (since I live here, I don't ever go). Recently, our sports teams like the Lightning and Devil Rays have gotten more national coverage (even though I don't really keep up!)
I love my city and take pride in it. Which is novel for me since I moved here from Tallahassee two years ago where nothing happens! Another reason why I'm so fond of it other than so many fun things to do, is that we are so close to St Pete, Clearwater and Orlando; so it's really hard to be bored around here. If you feel like driving, you can be in South Beach with a martini in your hand in 5 hours (which I just did - and plan to do again with U2 come to town!)
Now you go!!
