Other Tampa-St. Pete attractions

In a brilliant place!

raytripp's tread made me think of the ATL vs TPA benefits.

My original question of "is Follies really better than the Tampa-St. Pete area clubs?" still holds but I was thinking of other brilliant things about the Tampa-St. Pete area.

Tampa itself seems like a bit of a hole, but I like St. Pete. The Dali is ace! St. Pete beach is beautiful and if I had a vacation home it would be there. There are wonderful natural areas north of the area, once you get past the strip mall that is much of 19. I've always wanted to watch the mermaid show in Wiki Watchee. And down south to Sarasota on the key with St. Armand's is also brilliant.

Within Tampa proper, near downtown on the U Tampa campus, there is a museum that was a gilded age hotel. Fascinating place, though not that big. crazyjoe would love it. In those days there was only on toilet per three rooms. And I bet they were easy to clog.

Atlanta has more attractions as a big city. The only club I've been to in Atlanta is Tattletales (I was busy during the day when I was there and wasn't interested in Follies at night given the description). Papi_Chulo is right regarding prices at Tattletales. But it's only money. Fun > Money. In fact, the only point of having money is to have fun!

But I say Tampa-St. Pete is much nicer. Perhaps it is just that I have friends there. But it seems much nicer than Atlanta. You're a lucky man raytripp! Count your blessings!
