I'm in VA Beach for the same reasons you are in Flori-Bama I think...the military. I tell you though, it's just too damn hot/humid down there most of the year, my 4 y/o can't enjoy herself in the summer...and she's allergic to mosquiots, so you can imagine how that works out...

Sorry it's not playing nice, but you are right, Tampa can be a fun place...but if you aren't fond of rednecks...well...they are everywhere down there!

Ybor City....that's all you need to know...get to Ybor-fucking-city!
