From Lonely Planet Travel Guides:
You know how in some families there’s a sophisticated older sibling who wears suits and has an Important Job, and then there’s the younger sibling who’s kind of artsy and easier to hang out with? In this particular metaphor, Tampa is the former, and St Pete is the latter…
Florida’s third-largest city is all business. Well, mostly business. Chains and oversized office parks line the highways and it’s not immediately apparent what there is to do here, other than get a nine-to-five job…
They don’t even bother reviewing Clearwater, but if they did, they would probably once again tell us how Tampa is lame and boring.

Well, I’m not impressed with them, so the feeling is mutual. They actually called it “St. Pete’s”, plural not possessive? Do they call San Francisco “Frisco”?
Do your homework, Lonely Planet.
