Living in Tampa, Florida is unlike living in any other city in the world, and there are some interesting things in this city that make this true. Things that make you realize you live in Tampa because you wouldn't see them anywhere else. So... You Know You Live in Tampa When...
- There are more birds in the parking lot than cars... Birds that stand taller than the average grown man.
- It starts to rain and cars turn their emergency brake lights on, some of whom decide it is safest to stop their car completely in the middle of the road.
- Large groups of people join running groups that start and end at a popular bar, re-hydrating with an ice cold glass of... beer.
