There is not a better time to be had in Tampa. Come and experience the fun and adventure to be had riding your very own Segway I2 personal transporter through beautiful downtown Tampa and its surrounding islands. Admire the sun setting over the water, dolphins playing and even a few celebrity homes as you whiz about on a Segway personal transporter.

Even though you're trolling Central Florida with a bunch of ignorant fucks who know nothing about it but what they google, I live there so I'll pretend you're being serious and respond. Ybor City is great if you like the night life, there's basically a decent sized strip on 7th avenue filled with night clubs and bars/clubs. They're usually filled with drunk college girls. If you're Latin, Club Prana is a big deal even if you're not its still alright its just most of the music is filled with Latin beats. Empire & Climax is a pretty big club. The first floor is called Empire and the upstairs area is called Climax hence the name. TBh the best club strip/nightlife district in Central Florida is Church Street in Orlando, that's usually where I used to go when I was more into that scene since its better and about the same distance to Tampa from where I live. But Ybor is a big, big deal for young people in this area. The Hyde Park neighborhood and the bar at 717 South is more of a laid back atmosphere, although the last time I went there the place was filled with hipster douches. Tbh most of my activities always involved drinking when I went out, so maybe those aren't the best places for you.

If you're not into the nightlife since you don't drink, there are a ton of great golf clubs if you're the WASPY type that likes that shit. Plus you can charter a fishing boat, rent a jet ski, do any of the other general things you can do on any coastal area. If you like baseball there are always tons of baseball tickets available to the Devil Rays games since no one seems to give a fuck about them down here. You could see who they're playing that week. International Mall is a huge high end mall your girlfriend might like, but tbh shit is so expensive there you better have some serious money.

Try the joke another 40x maybe it will start being funny.

Tbh the funny part of this thread is when Booharv got butthurt for like 10 minutes when his recommendations were shot down, unfortunately he figured out his mistake unlike Koriwhat who has just remained butthurt for like six straight months now. Plus unlike Koriwhat he has no calf tattoos that we know off.

Also, you're still from San Antonio so making fun of podunk towns is still lame.

Big Cat Rescue (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g34678-d117501-Reviews-Big_Cat_Rescue-Tampa_Florida.html)
12802 Easy Street
Tampa, FL 33625
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
TripAdvisor Popularity Index: #2 of 54 attractions in Tampa

Gator farms are gruesome, botanical gardens are seasonally pretty, but Big Cat Rescue is a Must See in Tampa for each and every day. It's truly unique, so don't pass it up! There's something new and different on every trip.

To visit Tampa and spend some time at Big Cat Rescue really opens your eyes to the sincere caring that these cats - domestic & wild - are given on a daily basis. After they have been abused by humans for whatever reason, Big Cat steps in to heal and nurture these victimized animals. They not only educate visitors year 'round, but they have summer camp(s) for youths and teens. It's just heartwarming, to see all of the happy cats; the same feeling is reflected by their personnel. They also host an annual Fur Ball {get the pun?} to help raise awareness in the public.

Please visit this noble sanctuary and spread the word about their passionate work.
