			I am not in Florida yet, but I am considering the St. Pete-Bradenton-Sarasota area for relocation due to the weather (I like warmth and sun) and due to the opportunities there for my short-term plans in career and education.
 If I end up there, it would be great to have some like-minded contacts in the area.  In the meantime, I am curious to hear from locals about the vibe down there.  Just a few weeks ago, I went there for the first time in 20 years.  I was a youngster then so this past trip seemed almost like my first time.  It isn't my first choice of places to live, but it does seem like a good option in the lower 48 given my wishes for climate and cost of living.
 
 Peace.
