There are tons of videos out there, but this guy's videos are simply the BEST of all! very informative in substance and qualities. I look forward to seeing future videos in many different Cites, attraction small town (attractions) and beaches through the Great State of Florida and beyond. I heard the City of Punta Gorda waterfront is awesome. BOating in Florida is one of my hobbies. Great job as always.
@@KimberlyV69 Having lived in Seattle, when it was nice before the Left loons turned it into a pig sty, I can understand wanting to relocate. FL is a red state, and Tampa is no sanctuary city. You can leave Durkan and Inslee far behind!
I have lived in many cities around the world with my work and think that Tampa is by far the best place to live. People should appreciate how beautiful it is here in Tampa.
It makes me tear up because i've been here my whole life and seeing it grow in the past 5 years just amazes me. If you've lived in Tampa before the growth you know you would have never thought it would be what it is today. Even looking at old photos of me in downtown, half of the buildings there today weren't even there 7-10 years ago.
Protect the environment, my family has been in Tampa since 1835. Plant millions of trees, save green space, create water estuary. Don’t let Tampa become a cement city or it’s surrounding areas. Keep Tampa and all of Florida Green.
Wonderful story of the growth and development of the city of Tampa, Florida. It is sure one of the fastest growing cities if not the most fastest in the US. An eloquent narrative of the beauty of Tampa. Thank you 😊!
Tampa is the most amazing city in America. The traffic isn't that bad, the food is great, the coffee and drink culture is amazing, and the roads are well kept. I miss it a lot and the only downside is some nasty storms. Tampa will always have my heart.
Love living here!! Relocate from New York 14 years ago, one of best decision I have made. I get to see this beautiful city grow year after year, there is some areas that need improvement but overall it is a safe and beautiful city to work, live and raise your family, from kindergarten to university. A healthy lifestyle, lots of activity beautiful weather, we get to enjoy nature, city and beaches. Keep up the good work Tampa Bay!
I love Tampa, It is my new house, and I love this house, I love Tampa and I am very grateful, the doors of the schools were opened for my children, the people are very kind and we have had wonderful days here.
@@mims5826 Peace , King what do you think that will do to the local business establishments ? I.e. those Plazas on Folwer Ave. ? Would this be the time 2 grab real estate in what is called the "University Area " ?
Temple terrace will probably be next . Although as a generational Tampa native you have to take the good with the “bad”. “Gentrification” isn’t a bad thing but let’s not forget this is all our community! (I resided on 56th and fletcher for a long time, even in the “not so nice” places of Tampa it’s comfortable and a great place to live!)
I have lived in Tampa for 4 years and I learned more watching this 15min video than I have since I’ve been a resident. Great views and very informative. I am so glad I chose to move to this area and can’t wait to see the city’s growth!
Wow, I left Tampa in 2011 after living there since 95, didn't think anything was gonna change anytime soon. This video makes me want to move back now. I'm up here in Atlanta and while the suburbs are nice I miss the beach life and my friends.
I been living in Tampa for the past 12 years and I have to say, “I love it” lots of great experiences, opportunities, lifestyle, outdoors, not dealing with SNOW. In the next few weeks my wife, our toddler and I will be moving to Charlotte NC ( few miles south ) due to career progression. I will miss YOU Tampa.

I normally do not leave any comments but in this case I just have to! We moved from Germany to Tampa Bay in 2013 and spent 6 years there. Beginning of last year we moved to your Bay Area in California because of a job. Even tho the scenery is beautiful here and Cali got lots to offer I still miss Florida especially in winter time. My plan is moving back to Tampa Bay before winter starts, will see. I was always annoyed commuting on I275 from Wesley Chapel to Pinellas County because of traffic but guys it is still not as bad as San Francisco Bay Area. Cost of living here is just nuts. I hope to call Tampa home again by next year. Thanks for this video.
@@rand_-mk5lb great weather for sure everything is a reasonable drive. You have the best beaches in the Tampa bay area which consist of Tampa St. Petersburg Clearwater. We have Busch Gardens if you love roller coasters 🎢 that’s the spot. Adventure island water park is next door. Nightlife you have ybor city with a million clubs of your liking.

Yep, Tampa has a great Puerto Rican Population , Probably should have also mention how Tampa took in some of the Puerto Rican refugees from the hurricane, thanks for sharing.
At least the downtown is becoming more walkable. You should also be able to take a train from the airport to downtown. With light rail or any passenger railways you have to start small: follow the demand and don’t build where the demand isn’t. It does drive up property values though. Eventually when the whole city looks nicer and newer though that alone will hike it, especially with the steel-framed modern luxury development. Also nice seeing bike paths, notably along the waterways.
KING So true i moved here from LA area i always hear people complaining about house prices, taxes, traffic😂. Im just thinking in my head yall never been anywhere else thats why people will always complain and have something negative to say, tampa traffic is not bad at all its never bumper to bumper
Excellent video! I've lived here 15 years (from San Diego, Ca) and absolutely love it here. You get used to the heat, and he's right, "winter" here, is perfection. Excellent video. I'm about to go on vacation but this reminded me I can find more adventure in my city.
Trust me you won't regret it, I moved here from Maryland last year and that was the best decision I've ever made. I had 3 cities in mind, Miami, Orlando and Tampa so I did my research and I chose Tampa, I love it!
I retired from the city of Tampa 32 years raised there all of my life moved about 2 hrs north on a lake and loving it no more traffic is the best have rental property there also but had absolutely no clue they were putting in the selmon extension thought that plan was scrapped but to everyone moving there you will not be disappointed so many options for any lifestyle from the endless seniors opportunities or to the young professionals . Tampa has some outstanding highly energized sports teams .WELCOME TO TAMPA FLORIDA
I lived in the Palma Ceia area, next to Hyde Park area, while working in ICU at Tampa General Hospital. I loved Tampa, till it got weird in the 80-90's. Then I started Travel Nursing all over the country. My first 13 week assignment, Baptist Hospital in Miami after Hurricane Andrew went through....they needed nurses real bad. After that., I took an assignment in Colorado...lol.
God it’s been so long since I’ve been in Tampa. I can’t wait for my time in the military to end and go back home to Tampa. It’s changed so much since 2017!
Beautiful video. Glad this is my new home. Beautiful city with much to do. I can see Tampa Heights development spreading up northward. they need to put some focus onto East Tampa. Keep up the great videos.
813 ... booming .... traffic is getting thicker but love the changes in my city..... 4 now in Charlotte but there's no place like home. Ybor City is making changes too. The Big Guava is moving on up. Hope to retire there. Great content.
Been there 3 or 4 times, very briefly and stayed in St. Pete's for volleyball in hs. I love Florida overall. Have a friend from Clearwater who love the Bucs, as did I and we happened to play USF in college.
Having been raised in Orlando, my heart will always belong to Tampa. I loved living there. I miss it! Thank you for a great video. I got a glimpse of my previous employer, Tampa General Hospital. Great video, stunning views & videography.
This was truly a very beautiful video and great scenery of a beautiful city , job well done my friend, and thanks for sharing... 👌🏽👍👍🤗👏 tony j from Indiana
Thanks for making such a cool video! Having lived in California I totally agree our traffic is a breeze and can be pretty easily avoided as long as you know the short cuts
I think Tampa has the potential to outpace Miami. I just hope it's recognized why folks are leaving south florida so that Tampa can continue thriving. Kudos to your beautiful city!!! I look forward to exploring next year!
@Brittney Patton No offense, but you need to spend a little more time exploring Miami. Outside of Tampa having a fairly high Hispanic and senior citizen population and it's proximity to the beaches, they do not have much in common. The two cities have very different personalities.
Born and raised here. Traffic is not that bad especially if you’ know the roads and pay attention to cut throughs and which route to take. Tampa is a great city and I’ve watched them really improve it over the years. When I was growing up Tampa was a lot more dangerous/unkempt. Now you see more folks taking pride in the city and the Tampa Bay Area really is a great place to call home. The job market is highly competitive but housing is very affordable. You don’t need to make as much money here as you do in bigger cities.
Very good video...thank you for doing it. Right now I'm living in the other City by the Bay (SF, CA). Hated it here and can't wait to come back to Tampa Bay!!!
My hometown.❤️💐🌸🏵️🌺we were the first cheerleading team.. and I was the first cheerleading captain for the Riverfront Park after it was built.. I lived right across the street and the other kids and I watched it being built..we were wondering what it was then we saw the things you play on🙂 it was such happiness 😙
Boca here on the other coast but love taking trips over to Tampa and especially loved St. Pete by the water. Stayed at the Vinoy hotel and lots of great restaurants, shops and walking.
I too graduated from UT back in 1974. Returned after my tour in the military to Lakeland, a suburb of Tampa and worked there in the construction trade for over 41 years.
I moved here a year ago, haven’t made many friends but would not live anywhere else in the world. Currently living in citrus park and it’s okay, but will be looking for south Tampa / downtown when my lease is up :) or maybe the New Tampa / Wesley Chapel area.
I live in South Tampa from Pittsburgh.. If you're 20/30s I'd go to New Tampa, South Tampa is kinda wack haha. All old, mostly wealthy people. Good place to retire - definitely. Easy place to make friends - not so much 🍻
Wow, GREAT VIDEO. I'm moving to FL in the next year, and trying to decide between Jacksonville and Tampa. Its near impossible trying to figure out what each city really looks like and what it has to offer and reading articles/looking at google images just isnt enough ti get a good idea. This video gave me lots of info and is exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou for taking the time to make this, keep up the great work! Subbed and liked.
yep, I think Tampa has alot more going on than JAX. JAX can't seem to followthrough with major developments. Now I think eventually JAX will, because it has a great location, but certainly Tampa is the happening city right now.
Moving here from Portland after this covid 19 stuff dies down. I lived in Portland my whole life but spent all of last Year in Brisbane Australia, no way I can stay in Portland now I need a similar climate to Brisbane and Tampa seems like the best city in Florida. Just hope I like it as much
@@TampaAerialMedia it's a nice city to visit for like a week, but other then hiking or other "outdoorsy stuff" there isn't much to do here. And it rains way to much it's a really depressing feeling to live here long term and you are covered by dark clouds 9 months of the year. I've seen so many people from California move up here then back within 6 months because they can't take the constant rain
Roddy, I need to warn you that the political climate in Florida is totally different (thank God) from Portland. I hope that's one of the reasons for you not wanting to move back. Just saying …
Apologies again in advance for the long post… For those interested in finding out more about Tampa, here’s some quick information (below) you may find useful (including quality of life, cost of living, housing affordability, jobs, economy, crime, retirement haven, things to do, why it’s considered an attractive destination, etc.). Much of my comments below are pre-pandemic, though; hopefully, we’ll all return back to more of a normal very soon - much the way things were before this pandemic began. I am biased, but I actually think Tampa and the metro Tampa Bay area IS the best place to live in the entire U.S. We have it all-just about everything that is needed for a great life: beautiful scenery; fast-growing economy; and currently undergoing mega revitalization (including the Tampa Bay Lightning owner [Jeff Vinik] and Bill Gates-backed $3.5 billion Water Street development project in downtown Tampa, which will double the current size of our downtown). We have fairly good weather year-round (Tampa is tied with San Diego as the best hot-weather city in the U.S. [Pew Research Center]). We have great beaches (including Clearwater Beach, which was the #1-ranked “Best Beach in America” [Trip Advisor, 2019, 2018, and 2016]; Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, which was also the #1-ranked “Best Beach in America” [Trip Advisor, 2020, 2017, and 2015]; and St. Pete Beach: again, the #1 “Best Beach in America” [Trip Advisor, 2012, #2 in 2020, #4 in 2019, #3 in 2017, #4 in 2016], #5 “Beach Destination in
the World” [Trip Advisor, 2012], and #2 “Beach Getaway” [Travel & Leisure - America’s Favorite Cities, 2014]). Tampa also has a fairly low crime rate (#2-lowest crime rate among the top major cities in the nation [city-data.com, 2016, as reported by the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council on February 22, 2019], #3-lowest crime rate among large U.S. cities - America’s Best Large Cities [bestcities.org, June 2018]-the crime rate in Tampa has dropped 71% since 2003); fairly affordable housing and affordable cost of living in comparison with other large cities-prices are rising fast, though, as more people from New York, California, and other places move in. Tampa is also one of the best places to retire in the U.S. (#1 “Best Places to Retire” - based on a list ranking the 150 largest U.S. cities (WalletHub, 2014 & 2015, and #2 in 2017 & 2019); a hospitable city/clean city/green city (Airbnb’s “Most Hospitable City, 2013, and the #1 “Green Density City in the World” (Treepedia, 2018/2019). We also have diverse hip/trendy and well-established/historical neighborhoods (including historic Ybor City in Tampa, which is one of only four National Historic Landmark Districts in Florida); world-class architecture (including several buildings in Ybor City, as well as the largest concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed structures anywhere in the world at Florida Southern College in Lakeland). Tampa also has great educational facilities (#2 “Best College Towns & Cities in America (Large City)” and #4 “Best College Towns & Cities in America (Overall City)” (WalletHub, December 2019); and is a gateway to the Florida High Tech Corridor-with lots of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), as well as health/education/hospitality jobs available (pre-pandemic)-and Hillsborough County (where Tampa is located) is also the #1 county out of all 67 counties in Florida with the highest average annual salary ($54,278), in 2018 and again in 2019 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, as reported by the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council, January 2020). Also, Tampa has lots of cultural diversity-it’s a cultural melting pot-and the most pro-equality city in Florida (Human Rights Campaign), with a multicultural workforce from more than 130 nations/nationalities. Tampa has great medical facilities (Tampa General Hospital is one of the best and most comprehensive hospitals in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report, Best Hospitals, 2017-2018), and #2 (out of 250) best hospitals in Florida (U.S. News & World Report, Best Regional Hospitals, 2017-2018). We have lots of arts/museums/entertainment (including the Salvador Dalí Museum located in St. Petersburg’s scenic downtown waterfront, which is acclaimed as one of the world’s great museum and one of the “Most Beautiful Museums in the World” [Condé Nast Traveler, 2016]); also, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art (of the Ringling Bros. circus fame)-which was established in Sarasota in 1927, and which is now the official state art museum for Florida, with 21 galleries of 16th- to 20th-century European paintings, including a world-renowned collection of Peter Paul Rubens paintings. We have lots of great restaurants/dining establishments; great shopping destinations; jampacked with festivals and events happening every day; great hip/trendy as well as traditional/historic hotels (including the Gatsbyesque Don CeSar “Pink Palace” Hotel in St. Petersburg, which was opened in 1928, and was a favorite of F. Scott Fitzgerald); a budding film industry/“Hollywood South,” as well as “Hallywood South” (Hallmark Channel movies); and lots of outdoor fun activities to enjoy year-round. Basically, there is no shortage of things to see and do here in Tampa Bay.
My first business we had our motors rewound at Tampa Armature Works. Funny after all these years coming back to see it as a food court and entertainment hotspot. There were no high rise buildings in downtown and Harbor Island was where the mosquito plane parked. A swamp island.
I am from Miami and plan to work in theme parks in two years when I graduate engineering from FSU but am worried central Florida might be too slow for my pace. Tampa seems to have more Culture than Orlando.
Just watching the video of Tampa south Florida, Florida the masterpiece God created !!! I’m living in Sweden which the different between USA is a human who suffer of darkness, cold and depression of a hardest and badest a human can experience ! And a human who’s shining even when it’s sleeps and wakes up, a human that extend its life because of everything in general what defines Florida ! You mentioned how happy you are and that’s what every citizen should fell in Florida USA, every one, they have no idea how lucky 🍀 they are and blessed ! I pray that every one wakes up and realize where they live so they can enjoy to the fullest ! Enjoy enjoy and enjoy every moment ! God bless, God bless Florida God bless USA 🇺🇸 🙏❤️
Love the Gasparrilla Parade! True, the traffic is bad mainly in rush hour , going or coming back from St Pete on 275, horrible! I love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video I moved from Chicago 6 months ago to Florida I live in Fort Myers but I am looking forward to moving to Tampa in a few months beautiful city. 💪🏾💯
@@exandious867 there still some space in the outskirts of the city like in the southern Pasco County area. honestly if they can just add a northern connection from the I-75 to either the Veterans or US 19 in north Pinellas (especially since that highway is being converted to limited highway standards) then it could solve most problems for those who come in from north of I-75 if they want to go around Tampa to get to St Pete-Clearwater area instead of having to be forced to go through the downtown area interchange and the center core of Tampa.
Uh-oh, everybody is going to be moving to Tampa now, the medial experts are now saying what I've been sayinig for awhile THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY KILLS THE VIRUS.
That's my fear, also. The changing demographics would lead you to believe that will happen. Such a shame, too. Tampa always had a nice blend of cultures due to it's history.
i totally agree. There's a reason why so many are moving here and Miami developers are building here. I guess they think water is going to wash out their city soon LOL
Yep we are certainly going to be doing driving videos in those areas, Orlando this week. The pandemic may delay me doing a full video of the city, like Tampa, as we don't want the city to look completely empty.
Yep looking to do a driving video of Orlando this week. As close as they are too us, we have shot very little in those cities so really looking forward to it.

Excellent video! I've lived here 15 years (from San Diego, Ca) and absolutely love it here. You get used to the heat, and he's right, "winter" here, is perfection.
Excellent video. I'm about to go on vacation but this reminded me I can find more adventure in my city.
Thankyou for the nice words. Yep so much to do in Tampa
This city looks beautiful 👍
I came to Tampa thirty-five years ago from New York and stayed. Great place to live.
@@johncoll4456 is it expensive living there?. and how's the cleanliness?.
@@octzone pretty clean. Ybor is kinda the party part of tampa and that is alittle sketchy sometimes but it's honestly safe if your careful
@@octzone Some parts have alot of garbage from people littering.
The whole bay area is
Love my city, hate the traffic lol. Not the biggest skyline but def a big beautiful city. Welcome home tom brady !!!!!! Go bucssss!!!!!!
Ariel Giron tom Brady is a traitor
@@maxpop39 and you are a hater, haha that rymes
Brady sucks
Skyline is growing fast though. Vinnick has made transformative changes to this city.
There actually making new buildings in Tampa and Orlando so both city skylines will be much more beautiful in the next few years
I will be moving this month, looking forward to calling tampa my new home. #GOBOLTS!
Osleydi Cobas movería Tampa you will not regret it
There’s no avoiding I4
Trust me you won't regret it, I moved here from Maryland last year and that was the best decision I've ever made. I had 3 cities in mind, Miami, Orlando and Tampa so I did my research and I chose Tampa, I love it!
Go Bolts!!!!
Joe Donrobens J.D Hi I’m planning to move to Tampa after this pandemic.
Born and raised...I love my city since 1982
I retired from the city of Tampa 32 years raised there all of my life moved about 2 hrs north on a lake and loving it no more traffic is the best have rental property there also but had absolutely no clue they were putting in the selmon extension thought that plan was scrapped but to everyone moving there you will not be disappointed so many options for any lifestyle from the endless seniors opportunities or to the young professionals . Tampa has some outstanding highly energized sports teams .WELCOME TO TAMPA FLORIDA
`Just moved here from kentucky in september, so far i love it here a lot to do and a lot of money to be made.
What do you do for a living
@@schoudhury3463 I'm a correctional officer at ZCI
Love my city! The growth is so exciting
I live in Clearwater and love it! I work in Tampa though
I lived in the Palma Ceia area, next to Hyde Park area, while working in ICU at Tampa General Hospital. I loved Tampa, till it got weird in the 80-90's. Then I started Travel Nursing all over the country. My first 13 week assignment, Baptist Hospital in Miami after Hurricane Andrew went through....they needed nurses real bad. After that., I took an assignment in Colorado...lol.
Cool story! Curious, what do you mean by "it got weird" in the 80's-90's? I was merely a thought back then so I wouldn't know, lol
God it’s been so long since I’ve been in Tampa. I can’t wait for my time in the military to end and go back home to Tampa. It’s changed so much since 2017!
Thankyou for your service to our country. Always glad to have military members in Tampa.
TampaAerialMedia Thank you for the support!
I’ve lived in Tampa my whole life. TRAFFIC SUCKS!!! ...but everything else is cool 😎
In my point of view the traffic is not bad
I barely recognize this place anymore.
Not the crackheads bruh🥴
What are the best mexican food rests. in Tampa? Im going there soon.
U are not Wong
Good video. I can't wait for the update when all these projects are complete.
Yep next years video should be pretty good as some of these buildings will be done.
I love this city and will be moving back to the area from Tallahassee a boring city. I left Tampa in 2017 in the carollwood location off gunn hwy. 👍
Yep Carrollwood was one of the first places I lived in, when I first move to Tampa.
Funny. My family lives around there. I go there pretty often, I’m next door in Orlando
I'm from Clearwater, and I live in Tallahassee. Time for a new location lol
That is where I moved now 👍🏻
Definitely boring here!!
Beautiful video. Glad this is my new home. Beautiful city with much to do. I can see Tampa Heights development spreading up northward. they need to put some focus onto East Tampa. Keep up the great videos.
Nice job as always, growing up in the Tampa Bay area it truly is a great place to live, work and play. Great job!!
Amen, thankyou for the nice words. Its a good place too, to go through a national pandemic, with such great weather.
813 ... booming .... traffic is getting thicker but love the changes in my city..... 4 now in Charlotte but there's no place like home. Ybor City is making changes too. The Big Guava is moving on up. Hope to retire there. Great content.
Yep Charlotte is on our list, we are hoping to shoot this summer. It is another really hot up and coming cities in the southeast very much like Tampa.
Great video. Planning my move to Tampa FL real soon
Been there 3 or 4 times, very briefly and stayed in St. Pete's for volleyball in hs. I love Florida overall. Have a friend from Clearwater who love the Bucs, as did I and we happened to play USF in college.
I love Tampa! Maybe not the summer weather but it's a lovely city
Edit: I love our new QB
i been living here for 48 years i never saw it this good
PROUD TO GROW IN THIS CITY , RAISE MY CHILDREN AND DO MY GRANDCHILDREN .. AND GRATEFULL FOR ALL NEW BEAUTIFULL GROWTH IN THE CITY 👍👍🙏🙏
I'm living in Orlando, but i like a Lot Tampa, is a pleasure everytime i have todo go there
Just another great video!...You guys are amazing......So proud to live in Tampa Bay....you make it 3D and understand the history....
Thankyou very much for the feedback, always interested in the history, how much to put in the video.
Are you a mer person or something? You live in the bay?
Having been raised in Orlando, my heart will always belong to Tampa. I loved living there. I miss it! Thank you for a great video. I got a glimpse of my previous employer, Tampa General Hospital. Great video, stunning views & videography.
What's the difference between Tampa and Orlando beyond tourists? lol
just want to know how bad would hurricane affects living in Tampa, please advice.
What's better Tampa or Orlando?
This was truly a very beautiful video and great scenery of a beautiful city , job well done my friend, and thanks for sharing... 👌🏽👍👍🤗👏 tony j from Indiana
Thankyou for sharing, lots of good people in Indiana.
Thanks for making such a cool video! Having lived in California I totally agree our traffic is a breeze and can be pretty easily avoided as long as you know the short cuts
I think Tampa has the potential to outpace Miami. I just hope it's recognized why folks are leaving south florida so that Tampa can continue thriving. Kudos to your beautiful city!!! I look forward to exploring next year!
@Brittney Patton No offense, but you need to spend a little more time exploring Miami. Outside of Tampa having a fairly high Hispanic and senior citizen population and it's proximity to the beaches, they do not have much in common. The two cities have very different personalities.
Nah! I don't think will overtake Miami because Miami is way ahead
Born and raised here. Traffic is not that bad especially if you’ know the roads and pay attention to cut throughs and which route to take. Tampa is a great city and I’ve watched them really improve it over the years. When I was growing up Tampa was a lot more dangerous/unkempt. Now you see more folks taking pride in the city and the Tampa Bay Area really is a great place to call home. The job market is highly competitive but housing is very affordable. You don’t need to make as much money here as you do in bigger cities.
Yep, all very true, thanks for sharing.
Very good video...thank you for doing it. Right now I'm living in the other City by the Bay (SF, CA). Hated it here and can't wait to come back to Tampa Bay!!!
Thankyou, good luck in that other Bay Area.
From someone living in Palm Harbor I really enjoyed watching this video, thank you for making it cannot wait for Tampa to be completed
I'm glad you liked it.
Greetings from Safety Harbor 😎
Nice representation of our City 🙌🙌✌️
My hometown.❤️💐🌸🏵️🌺we were the first cheerleading team.. and I was the first cheerleading captain for the Riverfront Park after it was built.. I lived right across the street and the other kids and I watched it being built..we were wondering what it was then we saw the things you play on🙂 it was such happiness 😙
I dont care, Tampa is one of the best cities not just in the country but in the world!
You been to many cities around the world?
Lies
Tampa isn’t that nice
This was a good video. Thanks for shooting and sharing it! I have never been to Tampa but definitely want to visit after seeing this.
born and raised in tampa bay! We need better public transportation
Currently living in SD. Planning to there around March or next year. Can not wait.
This city will be crazy in 2030
This city will not be crazy in 2030. I have the best RUclips channel.
Either way you know what about it is going to be crazy Traffic! And this city needs to solve that issue yesterday.
I've been here 20 years and yet I learned a lot from this video
Boca here on the other coast but love taking trips over to Tampa and especially loved St. Pete by the water. Stayed at the Vinoy hotel and lots of great restaurants, shops and walking.
I counted 87 cranes in Phoenix Arizona and had many more to go until I lost count....... Great Video, I grew up in Tampa and graduated from UT .....
Yep Phoenix another fastly growing city, thanks to CA.
I too graduated from UT back in 1974. Returned after my tour in the military to Lakeland, a suburb of Tampa and worked there in the construction trade for over 41 years.
I moved here a year ago, haven’t made many friends but would not live anywhere else in the world. Currently living in citrus park and it’s okay, but will be looking for south Tampa / downtown when my lease is up :) or maybe the New Tampa / Wesley Chapel area.
I live in South Tampa from Pittsburgh.. If you're 20/30s I'd go to New Tampa, South Tampa is kinda wack haha. All old, mostly wealthy people. Good place to retire - definitely. Easy place to make friends - not so much 🍻
Looking forward to hopefully moving to Tampa in the next few years, as long as everything keeps on track, Ill see you soon Tampa.
Wow, GREAT VIDEO. I'm moving to FL in the next year, and trying to decide between Jacksonville and Tampa. Its near impossible trying to figure out what each city really looks like and what it has to offer and reading articles/looking at google images just isnt enough ti get a good idea. This video gave me lots of info and is exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou for taking the time to make this, keep up the great work! Subbed and liked.
yep, I think Tampa has alot more going on than JAX. JAX can't seem to followthrough with major developments. Now I think eventually JAX will, because it has a great location, but certainly Tampa is the happening city right now.
having been to both, Tampa is nicer and more growth potential
Another awesome video!! The narration and stories are great. I look forward to more of your videos in the future.
Thankyou, we sure will. Should be doing Orlando to be posted on Sunday.
Awesome video! I love Tampa/St Petersburg. It IS the best city to live in America!
Yep I think so too.
San Diego is WAY BETTER
@@richirving9802 🤑
Great job showing off our beautiful city!
Thankyou for the nice words.
These videos are amazing
Thankyou for the nice words, we will try to keep them coming
Glad I found your videos. Awesome video. Love Tampa. It's like 2nd home me being from Orlando.
Thankyou for the nice words, I appreciate the feedback.
Moving here from Portland after this covid 19 stuff dies down. I lived in Portland my whole life but spent all of last Year in Brisbane Australia, no way I can stay in Portland now I need a similar climate to Brisbane and Tampa seems like the best city in Florida. Just hope I like it as much
Welcome to Tampa, yea we also did a video on Portland last year. Beautiful part of the country but Portland seems to have alot of issues.
@@TampaAerialMedia it's a nice city to visit for like a week, but other then hiking or other "outdoorsy stuff" there isn't much to do here. And it rains way to much it's a really depressing feeling to live here long term and you are covered by dark clouds 9 months of the year. I've seen so many people from California move up here then back within 6 months because they can't take the constant rain
Roddy, I need to warn you that the political climate in Florida is totally different (thank God) from Portland. I hope that's one of the reasons for you not wanting to move back. Just saying …
Apologies again in advance for the long post… For those interested in finding out more about Tampa, here’s some quick information (below) you may find useful (including quality of life, cost of living, housing affordability, jobs, economy, crime, retirement haven, things to do, why it’s considered an attractive destination, etc.). Much of my comments below are pre-pandemic, though; hopefully, we’ll all return back to more of a normal very soon - much the way things were before this pandemic began.
I am biased, but I actually think Tampa and the metro Tampa Bay area IS the best place to live in the entire U.S. We have it all-just about everything that is needed for a great life: beautiful scenery; fast-growing economy; and currently undergoing mega revitalization (including the Tampa Bay Lightning owner [Jeff Vinik] and Bill Gates-backed $3.5 billion Water Street development project in downtown Tampa, which will double the current size of our downtown). We have fairly good weather year-round (Tampa is tied with San Diego as the best hot-weather city in the U.S. [Pew Research Center]). We have great beaches (including Clearwater Beach, which was the #1-ranked “Best Beach in America” [Trip Advisor, 2019, 2018, and 2016]; Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, which was also the #1-ranked “Best Beach in America” [Trip Advisor, 2020, 2017, and 2015]; and St. Pete Beach: again, the #1 “Best Beach in America” [Trip Advisor, 2012, #2 in 2020, #4 in 2019, #3 in 2017, #4 in 2016], #5 “Beach Destination in
the World” [Trip Advisor, 2012], and #2 “Beach Getaway” [Travel & Leisure - America’s Favorite Cities, 2014]). Tampa also has a fairly low crime rate (#2-lowest crime rate among the top major cities in the nation [city-data.com, 2016, as reported by the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council on February 22, 2019], #3-lowest crime rate among large U.S. cities - America’s Best Large Cities [bestcities.org, June 2018]-the crime rate in Tampa has dropped 71% since 2003); fairly affordable housing and affordable cost of living in comparison with other large cities-prices are rising fast, though, as more people from New York, California, and other places move in. Tampa is also one of the best places to retire in the U.S. (#1 “Best Places to Retire” - based on a list ranking the 150 largest U.S. cities (WalletHub, 2014 & 2015, and #2 in 2017 & 2019); a hospitable city/clean city/green city (Airbnb’s “Most Hospitable City, 2013, and the #1 “Green Density City in the World” (Treepedia, 2018/2019). We also have diverse hip/trendy and well-established/historical neighborhoods (including historic Ybor City in Tampa, which is one of only four National Historic Landmark Districts in Florida); world-class architecture (including several buildings in Ybor City, as well as the largest concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed structures anywhere in the world at Florida Southern College in Lakeland). Tampa also has great educational facilities (#2 “Best College Towns & Cities in America (Large City)” and #4 “Best College Towns & Cities in America (Overall City)” (WalletHub, December 2019); and is a gateway to the Florida High Tech Corridor-with lots of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), as well as health/education/hospitality jobs available (pre-pandemic)-and Hillsborough County (where Tampa is located) is also the #1 county out of all 67 counties in Florida with the highest average annual salary ($54,278), in 2018 and again in 2019 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, as reported by the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council, January 2020). Also, Tampa has lots of cultural diversity-it’s a cultural melting pot-and the most pro-equality city in Florida (Human Rights Campaign), with a multicultural workforce from more than 130 nations/nationalities. Tampa has great medical facilities (Tampa General Hospital is one of the best and most comprehensive hospitals in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report, Best Hospitals, 2017-2018), and #2 (out of 250) best hospitals in Florida (U.S. News & World Report, Best Regional Hospitals, 2017-2018). We have lots of arts/museums/entertainment (including the Salvador Dalí Museum located in St. Petersburg’s scenic downtown waterfront, which is acclaimed as one of the world’s great museum and one of the “Most Beautiful Museums in the World” [Condé Nast Traveler, 2016]); also, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art (of the Ringling Bros. circus fame)-which was established in Sarasota in 1927, and which is now the official state art museum for Florida, with 21 galleries of 16th- to 20th-century European paintings, including a world-renowned collection of Peter Paul Rubens paintings. We have lots of great restaurants/dining establishments; great shopping destinations; jampacked with festivals and events happening every day; great hip/trendy as well as traditional/historic hotels (including the Gatsbyesque Don CeSar “Pink Palace” Hotel in St. Petersburg, which was opened in 1928, and was a favorite of F. Scott Fitzgerald); a budding film industry/“Hollywood South,” as well as “Hallywood South” (Hallmark Channel movies); and lots of outdoor fun activities to enjoy year-round. Basically, there is no shortage of things to see and do here in Tampa Bay.
Tampa is really fun for some reason everything you need they have it here
Informative video, and I have lived here nearly 4 years now. I was wondering what those cranes were about LOL
You called it man. But Brady is amazing! LETS GO BUCS! Love seeing my City grow and flourish.
Amen
Great video!! As always!
Thankyou I appreciate that.
My first business we had our motors rewound at Tampa Armature Works. Funny after all these years coming back to see it as a food court and entertainment hotspot. There were no high rise buildings in downtown and Harbor Island was where the mosquito plane parked. A swamp island.
yep, who would have ever thought it would become a entertainment district.
I am from Miami and plan to work in theme parks in two years when I graduate engineering from FSU but am worried central Florida might be too slow for my pace. Tampa seems to have more
Culture than Orlando.
Oh I think you would like both Orlando & Tampa, I think especially compared to Tallahassee, its not very slow. Go Seminoles.
SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS! Way to talk that thing in to existence! 🏆🏆
Great video ive been to Tampa a couple of times and really liked it but im a big fan of public transportation Tampa needs a lite rail line
yep it would seem they need to do something about that.
Just watching the video of Tampa south Florida, Florida the masterpiece God created !!! I’m living in Sweden which the different between USA is a human who suffer of darkness, cold and depression of a hardest and badest a human can experience ! And a human who’s shining even when it’s sleeps and wakes up, a human that extend its life because of everything in general what defines Florida ! You mentioned how happy you are and that’s what every citizen should fell in Florida USA, every one, they have no idea how lucky 🍀 they are and blessed ! I pray that every one wakes up and realize where they live so they can enjoy to the fullest !
Enjoy enjoy and enjoy every moment ! God bless, God bless Florida God bless USA 🇺🇸 🙏❤️
So true, thankyou for the wise words.
Wow Tampa is Booming
Beautiful job showcasing my city. I even learned some things👍🏾👍🏾
Thankyou for the nice words.
Love the Gasparrilla Parade! True, the traffic is bad mainly in rush hour , going or coming back from St Pete on 275, horrible! I love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou for the feed back
Drop the tolls on the crosstown and that would improve. But, who am I to say?
Geez, I didn't know about half of this stuff in my own city. I need to get out more...smh
Beautiful video I moved from Chicago 6 months ago to Florida I live in Fort Myers but I am looking forward to moving to Tampa in a few months beautiful city. 💪🏾💯
yep good move. Thanks for the nice words
I just wish we had more interstates/ highways. The infastructure can't support us for too much longer!!
Maybe the city should of thought of that before approving massive developments in small neighborhoods
@@exandious867 there still some space in the outskirts of the city like in the southern Pasco County area. honestly if they can just add a northern connection from the I-75 to either the Veterans or US 19 in north Pinellas (especially since that highway is being converted to limited highway standards) then it could solve most problems for those who come in from north of I-75 if they want to go around Tampa to get to St Pete-Clearwater area instead of having to be forced to go through the downtown area interchange and the center core of Tampa.
Tampa is awesome. The airport is grand.
Uh-oh, everybody is going to be moving to Tampa now, the medial experts are now saying what I've been sayinig for awhile THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY KILLS THE VIRUS.
That proved false as covid is still here and spreading all over the country in the summer.
LOVE TAMPA best city and getting better has lots to see love it here
Great city!
I love tampa bay,,born and raised here!!!!
Mark my words: Tampa is going to be the New Miami
I hope not, but that certainly is something to be careful of as the growth continues.
That's my fear, also. The changing demographics would lead you to believe that will happen. Such a shame, too. Tampa always had a nice blend of cultures due to it's history.
We have to stop immigrating people..causes too much traffic, high rent...bigger carbon footprint.
i totally agree. There's a reason why so many are moving here and Miami developers are building here. I guess they think water is going to wash out their city soon LOL
We dont want it to be like Miami 🥴
Tampa bay is a great city i love the people thank you for sharing this amazing video.
I agree thankyou.
Keep up the good videos. Can't wait for Orlando and Jacksonville. Know a little about Orlando but nothing about Jacksonville.
Duval country
I think Jacksonville & Orlando would be cool to see as well!
Yep we are certainly going to be doing driving videos in those areas, Orlando this week. The pandemic may delay me doing a full video of the city, like Tampa, as we don't want the city to look completely empty.
Yep, very annxious to do Jacksonville & Duval Country, possibly a driving video there in 2-3 weeks.
Yep looking to do a driving video of Orlando this week. As close as they are too us, we have shot very little in those cities so really looking forward to it.
