Title: Moving to Florida
Post by: Nick DiMola on October 08, 2008, 02:26:09 PM
After some significant looking(and applying) around the East Coast, I was finally offered something worth taking down in Tampa, FL.
Naturally, I'm making a move down there to start the job. October 25th appears to be my departure date with an arrival date of probably the next day or the day after. I'm looking forward to the move and I'm hoping it goes well.
Anybody on the boards live in Tampa, or Florida at large?

Tampa is an alright city. My brother use to live there. It gets really humid and it's a little trashy, but it's right next to one of my favorite FL beaches: Clearwater.
Have fun down there. Tampa bay is known for one thing; strippers. I'm not even joking, check it out.

LOL this is very true. I used to live there and there were strip clubs everywhere. It is actually amazing how much it has cleaned up though over the past 6 years since I lived there. Mons Venus is still there FTW though.
Also Clearwater is an awesome beach and I'm glad that I'll be so close to it again. My dad used to have a restaurant right by the beach so I was over that way all the time when I used to live there.
Oh yeah, if anyone is ever down there, feel free to gimme a shout. We'll rock out some games for sure.

But Tampa is on the West Coast...of the East Coast. I live in West Melbourne, FL, which is basically a straight shoot across from Tampa to the *real* East Coast. I've been to Tampa, and Clearwater, they're nice. Tampa rules because of the fully nude strip clubs, though they can't serve liquor.

I go to college in Jersey, but I've lived in southwest Florida all my life.
We're pretty sweet about voting here in Florida. I suggest you watch the film Recount to pump yourself up for the excitements of a Florida election, if you're into that sorta thing.

Haha, yeah I was there for the Bush-Gore election... that was a real treat. I suspect this election will be just as fubar-ish for FL.
Southwest FL, is that Naples or something like that?
Update: So moving this Saturday... getting stressed and antsy. This week is going to be a bitch. Movers coming Wednesday morning.

I'm living in Florida at the moment, though nowhere near Tampa. I'm between Destin and Panama City.

If you want strip clubs, come to Atlana. Fully nude, and they serve liquor. Not that I frequent those establishments. ;)

All my **** got picked up today by the movers. Turns out I had less stuff than the estimator thought and as a result the bill is even less now! So couple more days left here in NY and I'm on my way down the East Coast early Saturday morning.

Don't forget to wave at me if you drive down I-75 or I-85 through Atlanta.
And to properly prepare for what you'll have to deal with in Florida, I highly suggest daily visits to www.fark.com.

Don't forget to wave to me if you pass thru Yonkers/Lower Westchester!

Jack,
Why oh why did the city of Tampa invite the Backstreet Boys back from obscurity to sing the National Anthem at last night's opening World Series game? Why? Who really thought that would be a good idea!? What's going on down there!?!

From here on out, Nick officially has to answer for anything weird that goes on in Tampa. Good luck, man.

So we have arrived! Well, more accurately we arrived about a week ago, but have been getting ourselves settled and organized. I start my new job today and should be back in full swing with the site within the next few, and Chessa should be writing up a storm at some point today.
PS - Sorry about the Backstreet Boys thing, I'll make sure it's ... taken care of.
