Default Hobos

I've just recently moved here from Orlando and I gotta say, these 2 cities are a lot more different from each other than I had anticipated. One thing that I first noticed when I moved here was that, it seems like the whole Tampa area is run by different gangs of hobos. Everywhere I look, I see crowds of homeless people standing on different corners of intersections holding up signs and collecting money. I see them in downtown st. pete where I work (in large numbers), and I also see them in South Tampa where I live.
Has it always been like this or the bad economy has had a more negative impact in Tampa??
Btw, I know there are homeless people in all big cities, but in most other places I’ve been to, they usually hang out in a downtown or something. In Tampa, they are everywhere!

Living in Ohio and going to college...plans are to move to or near Clearwater Florida. I heard Clearwater was not a good area...would anyone have any suggestions? I am not looking to be right where all the action is. I have no children, just 4 small chiuhua's and would be making the rent on my own. I may even need a roomate. I just know I need a fence and prefer a garage. I know Clearwater has alot of tourists, so what would be the next closest location....away from the action? If anyone has any comments I appriciate them! Stay warm for me as well!

Travel Information
Information on streetcar tours. They ask for advance reservations, but they may be able to tell you about other tour companies if that one doesn't work for you. Lots of tour cruises on the water. But the streetcar is around town.

Default drive from orlando to tampa

Anyone knows anyone who drives fr Orlando to Tampa or vice versa to work? DH might be accepting job working out of the Orlando airport and I might be able to get a transfer for a job in Tampa. Lakeland area is a bit iffy since we heard that schools in Orlando is much better. High school wise that is. Anyone wants to chime in?

You might want to do a search on Lakeland. You can ask in the main forum about Lakeland HS.

That drive is horrible on a good day.
If they ever get light rail in then it might be doable.
