Hey all,
I might be transferring to the Tampa Florida area around the Summertime (great time to move to Florida, I know, HOT!) and don't know squat about the area other than I visited once when living in Orlando 25 years ago.
Might be renting for a short time and then looking to purchase (or build?) a house, looking at a couple areas with better Elementary schools as I have a couple young kids. Would leave much of our furniture and a couple pins behind, would likely bring along our MAME Arcade, Twister, and Jungle Princess.
Second thing I'll have to get used to (The heat being the first) is the lack of a basement gameroom, which I've had everywhere I've lived in Jersey. So not sure what kind of main floor space we'll have to play, but wife is a fan so there will be something setup.
I know Orlando isn't great for pin play, how is Tampa? Are there places to play in the wild and/or a good sales market to pickup new/used machines? I never go out to Leagues or such much where I live now, but would be something good to do once in a new area to meet folks and have some fun.
What's Tampa like, and how is it for Pinball??
