Never thought I'd say this but.... I moved out of Tampa Bay 2y ago (12y in S. Tampa in a nice area) and went to IMO one of the coolest place in the country (North bay area, just north of the GG bridge). And... I still miss Tampa bay - not enough to move back, mind you, but it is now such a good compromise of good food / things to do / weather / water / housing cost vs size / racetracks! I didn't think I would, but I do... I've never been to ABQ (but have seen other parts of NM), there is no way I'd leave S. Tampa/Clearwater/St Pete for NM ! No way - clear downgrade in food, diversity ;-( Unless you are getting allergic to humidity and want drier weather, or are dying to see some elevation ;-)
