Pros for me - weather, water, history, culture, big city amenities on a smaller scale in a smaller city, airport, sports, festivals, closeness to St. Pete and Sarsota area amenities.

Cons for me - lack of meaningful transportation choices(mass transit).

The "twin cities" feel of Tampa/St. Pete is fantastic. Tampa has the latin influence, nightlife, 2/3 of the sports, and the main University (USF). St. Pete has what you can remember as BBC, or Beaches, Baseball, and Culture.

+ Major sports, major musical attractions (concerts).

- Crime, traffic, congestion, inflated housing prices/poor quality

Pros = Weather, sports, water, lots to do, decent restaurants (except Italian), great airport, flora and fauna, great sunsets, love watching and listening to the birds in the cypress head behind my house...year round.

Cons = urban sprawl, traffic, love bugs, late summer heat and humidity

TampaKaren--have you tried Laughing Cat Italian Restaurant in Ybor City or Celiini's in the Ballast Point area of South Tampa? These are by far some of the best Italian iv'e had in Tampa(native New Yorker who's grandparetns are striaght off the boat from Italy)....

I'll just say for most of Florida in general: access to CHEAP travel (international and domestic).
