Only thing I liked about Tampa was The Columbia restaurant and Brocatos (spelling) sandwich shop off of 41.

You can say whatever you want about Tampa, but the food scene doesn’t suck. We have a ton of great non chain places to eat. Especially in the old parts of town. The suburban sprawl areas, not so much, chains galore.

Tampa is home. Love it here, just wish there were fewer people.

yep, but keep your head on a swivel. It's not what it was years ago. I NEVER leave the house without a weapon and one in the vehicle. Wasn't that way 20 years ago, but sadly it's the way it is now.

I lived in what is now the most dangerous place in Chicago. My great grandfather settled there in 1890. Kids played outside without ever having to worry about them
That said everywhere is dangerous now. I probably would have been dead 3 or 4 times over if it wasn’t for a pistol in my pocket
It’s almost a necessity nowadays
Sad but true

I was born in south Philadelphia and lived in downtown Atlanta for five years... so my head is kind of always on a swivel.
Tampa is tame by comparison, much less the part of Tampa I live in. We should always be aware. The world can be a dangerous place. However, in reality it's mostly safe and thankfully so.
Be well.

Big cities have the best eateries I don’t know about that. I have hit some great little eateries in some very small towns across the country. (I wasn’t kidding about the Mexican food out of the trunk of the 78 Nova either. Anthony New Mexico to be exact)👍

Yes. The “homemade” food is delicious but I am hesitant to stop and buy anything from a street vendor. I’ve had food poisoning a few times and I don’t like it

Excellent sandwiches, and without a doubt the best deviled crabs on the planet. Ridiculous lines at lunch, although the kitchen moves food out pretty quickly.

I've had just as good or better food sitting at a wire spool in a yard as some of the white table cloth places in the city.
