Hi guys, I will be moving back to Florida from a small village in the north of Italy near Venice. I am a writer /waiter/ bartender and as I have previously lived in South Beach for a number of years( which I enjoyed but would like to explore something new) I was wondering if Tampa or any of the surrounding areas have a nice artistic vibe with popular locales of high quality restaurants and bars that could offer good employment prospects. Ideally I would love to find an affordable studio apartment (in the $400.-600 range) in a safe area that would allow me to walk or bike to work. I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions that you may have.
Grazie Mille , Alex
