your description, depending on neighborhood, would be anywhere from quarter to half million probably.. tho as BR mentioned, if you get farther out (read: country IMO) to like spring hill or polk county the prices drop considerably.


also agree, be careful about HP. I also think it's overpriced. we're 30 minutes from there should we want to go and I'm sure I paid probably a third for my house than I would have paid there. when I lived there (betw Swann and Platt @ Boulevard) MY street was nice, cobblestone, law offices.. ONE block over there were homeless sleeping on the corner.

and YES, the Burg is a little more relaxed.. bugs me sometimes. if you've ever been to the bahamas and ordered a drink and it taken 30 minutes to get back to you because your server is movin slow, you've experienced st pete. everything's just a little sloooower here... very "beach town"-y IMO. people like their flip flops and 'goin fishin'. lol.. people down here (i say down, as in south pinellas county) just seem to move at a lil different pace.. but again, that can be nice, esp if you can zip to Plastic World aka Hyde Park or the Casino in 30 or 40 minutes for that fix.

there ARE a lot of new spots opening up downtown as it is experiencing, like much of the country i assume, a re-invigoration (zatta word?).. clubs, possibly a new DRays stadium on the water like the Giants, mad condos, etc.. and of course you get young spring break poontain EVERY year for a month down at the beach.. spring training baseball is HUGE here with almost a dozen teams probably within an hour, with the phillies, blue jays, and yanks within 30 minutes of anywhere. you get the players and the accompanying groupies, nothin wrong with that.

super bowl here next year BTW, get here before then if you decide on the bay. it will be insane with energy.


dharma, you been to the new gallery on 9th? Gallery 350 or something?? I haven't, but a friend invited me for the grand opening last week... the article in the paper said something like "gallery meets food meets music".. sounded cool. that's not really my steeze, but nothing wrong with eclectic.

there are maybe a dozen art galleries/museums (including the Dali) downtown st pete.

and of course, as I stated before, water sports are huge here--boating, jetskis, fishing, etc.. look at a map, st pete is the dickhead of the pinellas peninsula.


bang.

I have not. The last art show I went to was the exhibit on Buddhism. It was pretty neat though they had buddhist monks making huge sand drawings. That was on Beach Drive. Even the shops down in that area are like little galleries.
