Haven’t read all the replies, but I’ve been traveling to the Tampa Area for the last few years for work and I love it. There’s some beautiful areas and seems like a great lifestyle down there. Would move in a heartbeat

"Thinking of moving out of Louisiana and to _________"

Unless the blank is literally war-torn parts of Mexico, Africa, or the Middle East, just pull the trigger.

Moved for work to SW FL in 2014, after living in LA since I was a toddler. I haven't looked back. I have only visited once, for a funeral. I cook all of the food I can't get, by eating out. It is paradise here, the beach is 10 minutes away. Does it lack history and have plenty of Yankees and Midwesterners, sure, but everything else is so nice. No rude checkout clerks, my drive to work is like driving through a resort, perfectly landscaped. It's eerily like Stepford here. I am south of Tampa, but enjoy that area, too.

I’ve been everywhere, Louisiana is my favorite place in the world.

Tampa is soulless and boring. Especially Clearwater area.

I hate to hear that. Used have an old occasional frick buddy in Lake Charles. I liked her, and I liked Lake Charles too. But if you gotta go you just gotta. Good luck bro. Tampa Bay area ain't half bad. Just kinda transitory.

I’m a bit shocked at the number of folks that live in the Tampa area.

We like Apollo Beach; I fish a lot so it’s easy to get out on the water when living on the east bay.

Hey look it’s another weekly “why I hate Louisiana thread”.

Your Netflix, chain restaurants, chain stores, and cookie cutter suburbs are sooo much better let’s go to a LSU message board and brag.

Unless you are living in a high rise in the city (who would want to do that today), or on a beach, or in a scenic place like Alaska or Montana then all you have done is trade in a 2017 Ford Taurus for a 2018 Ford Taurus. Yeah….so much better.

What is sad is people wasting their vacation coming to Louisiana. I can use one week of my vacation and go to where you live and I will do more in 5 days than you will do in two years living there.

Didn't read thread, but if you're a Democratic, stay the heck out of Florida.

I lived in Tampa for several years. It was quite beautiful. Constant vistas of sun-spangled water. The culture is hard to synopsize, a strange fusion of the South and the East Coast. But overall the people were friendly enough.
