Official Tampa/St Petersburg Thread - Champa Bay

I think it depends. Lakeland is pretty backwards compared to Tampa/Orlando. How old are you? Plan on going out a lot?

If not, you should be ok. It's just country as fuck.

 

29/married/baby on the way. A buddy lives in Tampa and we'd love to live there but the drive is just too far. Hoping living near Tampa will open up some employment options for my wife... I mean, she's a pregnant lawyer, if companies don't hire her maybe she can sue for discrimination.

I guess I already answered the going out part

 

Brandon would probably be a much better option.

 

At least you'd be close to Top Golf.

 

Brandon is great if you think Applebee's is a really good restaurant.

#BREAKING: Google to explore bringing its fiber-optic high-speed internet service to Tampa

 

Oh hell yes.

 

Any of yall have a good place to get your hair cut? I kinda have longer hair and everyone here so far wants to give me a Macklemore haircut. No thanks

 

I go to Ron Raynor salon on Kennedy. Terri cuts my hair. She does a good job.

 

Hope they get fiber here over the bridge and not just tampa.

 

I don't see how I would get it in South Tampa. Infrastructure is so fucked here.

I think I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but has anyone been to a Burger Monger? Went a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. Tasty burgers. Guess there's a handful of locations in the bay area. Locally owned and operated.

 

Is it just me or has rush hour traffic been extra shitty lately?

 

Really enjoyed the one time I went there but I'm too cheap to go there every 3-4 weeks.

 

User Hank Scorpio and I once were in the same barber shop together but he refused to acknowledge my presence.

 

Yep. Last 2 days took me an extra 30 minutes to get home

 

Glad it wasn't just me.

 

What is traffic? South Tampa master race checking in.

 

Miss my 10 minute commute

 

Congrats on your 900 square foot house with $5,000 flood insurance premium.

 

Renting

 

Aren't you an attorney? How do you think you're going to make partner renting?

 

I'm dreading the move out of South Tampa, but I know it's on the horizon.

 

Join us in The Chase, brother.

 

I have nightmares about that commute to/from downtown.

 

My wife did it for 5 years. It's 30-45 minutes. Not really as bad as you might expect.

 

Grew up in Westchase. If it was up to me we would live there but my wife doesn't want to make commute.

 

It really is the best.

 

My wife is all over it. I get listings emailed to me daily.

 

No, it really isn't. South Tampa has all the conveniences and is close to everything as long as finances aren't an issue. Westchase does win 2nd prize though.

 

Dollar for dollar, Westchase wins. My 5 bedroom house would be a fucking million dollars in south Tampa. I'll take our almost as good schools, drive a little bit further to some stuff, and walk to our awesome restaurants.

 

Need some help if possible for guys with kids. Do any of you know of a photographer for maternity photos? My wife waited until the last minute and is now panicking she wont have any professional photos since our son is due in January.

 

Shana Mitchell. She went to my high school and does those types of photo shoots.

 

She hot?

 

Former Lightning girl, had three kids but from her photos she still looks pretty good.

Catch is great, Irish31 is solid, Bakery Melange is fantastic.

 

Hillsborough is where it's at. 900 for a 1 bedroom, and beautiful Latin women everywhere.

 

I fly to Tampa Tuesday for an interview at our place in Dover. My lady friend is looking at moving to Ybor city, but I am not fucking paying that type of rent. Currently paying 1100 a month for 700sq ft and 1 br in Denver. What are some places I can look? I dont mind living in the country as long as I dont live near crack houses.

 

Have you not seen the thread title?

 

She likes that little downtown area with bar taco etc. Maybe I am completely wrong on the area as she usually drives when I'm there (shes lived there for 2 years around Brandon).
