Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete ranks eighth in the nation for sprawl. Atlanta is sprawliest.
Reader’s Digest says Tampa is the 31st cleanest city in America in spite of scoring tops in the “sanitation” score. Tampa was beat by such clean cities as New Orleans, Milwaukee and Miami. Portland was named the cleanest, and Chicago is the dirtiest.
Busch Gardens placed 2nd in Forbes’ The World’s Best Amusement Park survey.
In 2002, EXPO Magazine, a convention/show trade magazine, named this area as the 22nd best bargain city in the country. This year, Tampa was selected as the 24th best bargain city. I don’t know that being called a bargain is a great thing, I’m just happy EXPO magazine learned that the name of the city is Tampa, not Tampa Bay, FL.

new orleans? clean?
then again, this is coming from reader’s digest, who thinks that “humor in uniform” is actually funny
Busch Gardens is great. But it’s no Cedar Point. It’s not even Kings Island. It’s great, but if I can name two off the top of my head that are better, then it’s not the 2nd best in the world and the best in the country.
I will buy that we are a bargain city. Stuff here does tend to be pretty cheap. Just go to a Rays game on a Friday night…

You’re correct, Tommy! I should visit more often and will. Also, I corrected your link with apologies here for the delay.
I love your (new) WordPress version. Much nice!
