I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

The city is completely different nowadays. You wouldn't recognize it from a decade ago.

I just came for a visit and thought I would check in with this bowl. Wow the city has changed so much. Husband and I are considering moving back, would anyone be up for a chat about consulting jobs here?

OP, did you end up moving? I'm considering moving to St. Pete and would love advice on where to stay, what to do, etc. Heard downtown was awesome.

How would you compare living in Tampa versus St. Pete?

For context:
-36M, single so seeking to date for LTR
-Work remotely from home
-Have a dog and enjoy nature/trail walks with him
-Enjoy bars and restaurants a lot ("foodie" lol)
-Like to run outside along a path or trail 3-5 days a week

Currently looking at the Camden Central Apt in St. Pete. Toured it last year and was really impressed. Enjoy the sense of community it brings.

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
