The cocaine trade greatly improved Miami's economy as well but look at all the b.s. that came w/ it.

I'm not saying they haven't helped the economy, I'm saying many have tried to make a successful relocation didn't succeed.

Visited often in the 70s as a kid.

Lived here in the 80's (attended USF) then served my country (Central America, Balkans, Afghanistan). Came back here regularly over the decades in between. Been back for close to a decade.

Why was my screen name invoked exactly?

What does this have to do w/ your troll post on the day before a hurricane was supposed to but didn't hit the TB area? You were clearly trying to slam the area like Irma couldn't/didn't.

Looks like you jumped into a conversation and don't know what was being said. Read the earlier replies.

Well I guess I'm not one of the many...people who are unsuccessful tend to be so no matter where they live...we lived well in NYC and relocated to Tampa Bay and lived even better...please don't diminish my contribution to the local economy...many native Floridians made a good buck on us Yankees...especially those lucky enough to own or inherit waterfront properties!!!

I pretty much stopped reading after the post about enjoying Tampa on the day a hurricane was about to it..... until I glanced at my name.
