Re: What do you guys like better - Summertime or end of summer?
Now that I am old, fat and hairy, instead of young, thin and hairy, I have come to dread the sunburn-inducing, sweat-producing, insect-infested summertime. The Smelltics and Ruins are helpless and hopeless anyway (Playoffs? P-playoffs?), and I refuse to invest any emotional capital in a Dead Sux organization that replaces Trot Nixon with JD Drew, who is paid more than David Ortiz.
If it were up to me, the Monday after July 4th would be Labor Day.

No beaches, no downtown, no college atmosphere, (I live across the street from USF). My neighbors don't even grunt anymore when I say hi. There aren't even sidewalks on some streets. You drive everywhere and every road is like the one worst strip mall, traffic disaster road in a normal city.
I found some good salsa in Publix this week. That's like a month's worth of good around here.
Man, I lived in Tampa for a year and a half and I didn't experience anything like what you're talking about. Beaches in most directions no more than 15 minutes away, every street a nice wide 4 lane road (every major one that is), nothing like this small one lane road crap in the northeast. Tampa does have a small downtown area, nothing like Boston's but it's there. I don't know about the whole college atmosphere as I was and am well past college age. If it weren't for in-laws, the wife and I would still be there.
Back to the original question, I love summertime but my favorite season is fall and football.

Re: What do you guys like better - Summertime or end of summer?
Summer and End of Summer. Football is a perfect sport to obsesse over for me as i like riding [motorcycles] and manage to go on long road trips.I try to squeeze in at least 1 5000 mile trip a year and alot of over nighter and long weekend trips.i put 20k miles a season my sport bike .Also ,love motogp which starts at the end of feb and ends when foot ball starts.so every sunday i have motogp parties and football parties.how can you beat that.And on trips i am seldom home on weekends.
not a sox fan as i do not have time for it ......with my first baby on the way i am sure things are going to change....no more camping in campsites and seeing the backroads of america lol .

Re: What do you guys like better - Summertime or end of summer?
I'm a true New Englander and love all four seasons but I have a liking towards end of summer(August). Since that is when I am fully entrenched in with my Fantasy Football Leagues and football season is only a month away in September.

Why ? Explain ? JK Pats1. Fall in NE is unsurpassed without football. With football it is Nirvana. I live by the Ocean so summer is number 2. Cookouts , fishing, going to the beach with my kids,waterskiing. Summer rocks by the water.

Different strokes.
Most streets are actually 6 lane roads if that's what you enjoy. It does make it easier to get out of town.
I'd love the name of the beach that's 15 minutes away.
I lived almost on the water in Gulfport and it took about 15 minutes to get to Ft. DeSoto Beach which is the close beach to Tampa according to the Real Estate agents on the city data messageboard. LOL.

43 minutes to either, according to google maps. And that's without traffic LOL!!
Add 10 mins to the USF area.
I used to live 10mins from Indian Rocks Beach in Largo also.
Because of no pub transport, there is much more traffic than even five years ago in Tampa.
There are nice neighborhoods too. I don't wan't to do a travelogue, PM me if anyone wants my opinion on Clearwater, St. Pete or Tampa.
