I thought Lakeland has a nice little downtown and the lakes right by it added to it.

Thats why I want to visit that park you posted. I do enjoy Lake Eola i must say. But I want to go and experience the new additions.

It's not really part of downtown, right outside of it, but I really like the Hyde Park area of Tampa. Kennedy BLVD and Bayshore BLVD are nice and I have been to Westshore Plaza before, very nice mall.

I must say, after looking at some of these Google Maps pictures of streets in Hyde Park, I forgot how awesome this neighborhood is. It is probably one of my favorite neighborhoods in the whole state of Florida.

That is nice, looks a bit like Winter Park or Maitland.

On an unrelated note how do you link to googlemaps so it goes directly to a location on street view?

very nice neighborhood. Kind of reminds me of some Downtown Orlando neighborhoods. Orlando and Tampa have more in common than Orlando and any other city, or Tampa and any other city. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in Orlando when I'm in Tampa. Here are some downtown orlando neighborhoods that remind me of that neighborhood.

One of the reasons I like that area is because it doesn't really look like the stereotypical Florida. Some of those houses and neighborhoods remind me of houses and neighborhoods in New Jersey. It's pretty cool, Florida definitely has a lot of diverse architecture.
