I have family at Sun City Center in Ruskin, so I've driven through the area scores of times. Its an area with tomato harvesting, lots of migrant (Hispanic) workers - very poor, in my opinion. The town of Ruskin has very little - a few Mom and Pop diners, some very old drug stores and hardware stores. I think a K-mart just closed, and they used to recently have an actual operating drive-in movie theater. Bahia Beach - now called something else - is a small private beach and there's a marina there, too. Highway 41 (Tamiami Trail) runs through Ruskin - and probably was a bigger deal before the interstate (I-75) was around. Of course, Sun City Center is an extremely well run retirement center - Del Webb discovered the area. Evidentally he researched the hurricane trends in FLA and picked the Ruskin area because of that.
