Review of Tampa, Florida


Where to go????
Star Rating - 2/21/2009
So every city has drawbacks. I've lived in Minneapolis, MN most of my adult years (only 34 though) and am done. It's clean, cultured and friendly....cost of living is high and winter is 4-6 months. The lack of sun it killing me. Most of the winter has been -10 to 20 degrees. Oh, and when you are single. It is two degrees of seperation. Everyone is connected unless you are new to the Twin Cities.

I've also lived in Tampa and San Fran. I looked at San Diego but how does one afford to live without having two jobs. I'm debating between going back to Tampa. I've been looking into Austin. I would like to be near the ocean or in driveable distance. I love water sports and love to scuba dive. I don't mind hot and humid. I liked knowing in Tampa when it would rain in the summers. Everyday around 3 or 4 pm.

So..I am looking for feedback. I'm looking for a place I can settle down and live for years and eventually raise a family. Where does a single, active female pick up and move too?????? I want activity, culture and family values.

Oh....don't forget the job market. Need to know about that too!

Best Regards!
