When I lived in Tampa, I met a lot of black folks who never went to St. Pete because they had to cross a ~5 mile bridge.
You have some of the best beaches in the country within an hours drive, and never go because you have to cross a bridge. Still can’t understand it.
Tampa born here....shyt deeper than a beach.
Since the 70s there has been tension with the black folks in Tampa and St pete. Not on no gang shyt (initially) but most of what you need is already in Tampa (better clubs, malls, sporting events, concerts, women, colleges), so why would they need to drive across a bridge lol. We have beaches as well, not as nice a st pete but have a few nonetheless. St pete nikkas use to try and come over here to party and would come to start violence and steal shyt. So nikkas made it tough to continue to be cool especially in the late 90s...early 2000. St pete don't fukk with Tampa. Tampa don't fukk with st pete like that..
