I moved to downtown Tampa last weekend...and I LOVE it!! There is so much to do here it is unbelievable. Unfortunately both last weekend and probably this weekend are to be filled with running errands in order to get everything we need for our new place so I haven't gotten to explore too much. City living definitely has its pros and cons. Pros are: covered parking (not getting soaked in Florida storms), sidewalks everywhere so lots of space to walk my dog, waterfront just outside my door (with boats), and I'm within walking distance of the best Tampa has to offer. Cons are: squeezing into tiny parking garage spaces everyday, lots of live music, having to take my dog downstairs in an elevator to go out, and loud people coming home at closing time from the bars downtown on the weekends (if you can't beat them, join 'em). On the whole though I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Bogart loves it here with all the sidewalks and new smells. He's finally beginning to notice the other dogs so that's becoming fun. He gets so excited to go out here but it's great! The gym is a little small but it will suffice nonetheless. The hard wood and real tile floors are to die for (where have you been all my life?) and I have not heard a neighbor in the week I've been here (we used to live below a tap dancing elephant)! There's a courtyard, pool, or fountain tucked into every corner and the whole location begs for drinks outside on a mid summer night. I've died and gone to heaven. Oh, and I haven't gotten lost...yet. We're just beginning to discover this city that we've lived in for four years and it's great to be, not only out of Clearwater (thank God!), but back in our city. Here's to Tampa, may it be better than I remember.
