Rediscovering the Tampa Bay Area
Sometimes I for get that I live in a fairly sprawling area that includes three good-sized cities and more beachfront mileage than you can shake a stick at – [providing you are in the mood to shake a stick. The Tampa Bay area is not just Tampa. It’s also St. Petersburg and Clearwater and a whole host of smaller towns that are actually a lot like marble cake the way they entwine with the big three.
So, when I am looking for something to do with friends, I am often taken aback by my own habit of staying so close to home. So much is available with what amounts to a pretty short drive, over bridges and around the Bay, as well as up and down the Gulf coast. We tend to forget Tarpon Springs and Westgate, Kenneth City and Citrus Park, and the other tens upon tens of little Bay area towns and regions that offer restaurants and clubs and festival pretty much every weekend.
I need to motivate my friends to take the challenge to do something in a different city every weekend. I can hardly wait to see what we discover.
