[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP what do you like about St. Pete and did you move there for work reasons or retirement? [/quote]

Neither! We both work remotely - hated the weather in DC and wanted to live somewhere with more sun and a better cost of living. We accidentally found our way to St Pete a couple of years before it got really hot, and feel really lucky to have done so - we got the last affordable house in our neighborhood, it sometimes feels like. St Pete is a really great city. It's really beautiful, a really good size, good food, always new things happening. Nice arts scene, some good theater, a couple of good movie theaters. Loads of outdoor activities, massive, well maintained park system. If I have any complaint it's that so many people have moved here that it's gotten a little crowded, but that's a very minor complaint. Bunch of colleges and universities, so it's fun having that sort of stuff around. There isn't much you could feel like doing on any given day, that you can't do.

St Pete is very blue and a lot of our friends are very interested in/involved with politics, so we do talk a lot about it with people we know here. I can understand people in more purple or red parts of the state deciding not to talk so much about it.[/quote]
