I never go to that area of Tampa, and I guess I've just never seen it in the media, i don't really watch those shows. But it looks impressive, wikipedia said many car companies use it to film car commercials.
How in the world you dont know about the Skyway Bridge? Its a Stomach Dropper Looking Over It
Pittsburgh, by leaps and bounds. It's a real city in a far more interesting region. I dig south Florida for vacations, but the thought of living there full-time just isn't appealing.
My dad lives in the Tampa Bay area and my vote is PITTSBURGH!!! Other than going to the beach, I'm bored to death when I visit. There is no interesting neighborhoods out of Ybor, which is only a few blocks, to sight see and no real sense of community. It all feels like one big giant ugly suburb to me. It is awefully flat and the heat and humidity kills me. A palmetto bug, aka flying roach, got in the house one night and freaked me out. People drive like idiots, pedestrians are idiots, too many old people, too many wannabe thugs, too many tourists. Definitely not for me.
Pittsburgh has friendly people, great architecture and neighborhoods, beautiful geography, and I could go on. Pittsburgh all the way. The nations best kept secret in my opinion.
I agree. My Mom lived there for many years, too and I had the same experience when I came down to visit year after year. I've only been to The Burgh once, but was totally captivated by that city. It wasn't at all as its portrayed.
Neither city interests me. At all. Period. If I had, had, had to choose one, I guess it would be Tampa by virtue of climate and nothing more.
Pittsburgh reminds me of a larger Cincinnati or Louisville. Both are depressing cities to begin with and I'm not into that whole Appalachian thing (I'm not just talking Yinzer/mullet culture, I'm talking landscape.)
Parts of the South, Great Plains (save for cold weather) and, more than anything, West are more of my thing.
Tampa is more important.
I'd rather live in Pittsburgh though.
You can argue which you'd rather live in but there's very little argument you can make trying to claim Pittsburgh is the more important city.
