I opted to move with my girlfriend to Parrish after several years of living in downtown Tampa near South Nebraska. We were both getting claustrophobic from the dense, city life. Neither of us were raised in a metropolitan area like Tampa Bay, as we had moved up here from Venice which is a growing city in Sarasota County about an hour to the south of here. Downtown Tampa was fun at first, especially the bars in Ybor City back when my girlfriend and I showed up at the age of 18. When we finally hit the legal age to drink, our partying kicked into high gear for another two or three years. Then we got burned out on the nightlife and started spending more time in St. Petersburg and nature preserves like Weedon Island Preserve and Sawgrass Lake Park. That’s what pushed us down to Parrish because we realized that we loved the outdoor environment in Florida more than anything else about the state. There’s plenty of rural neighborhoods in Parrish that are a far cry from the insanity that we experienced in downtown Tampa for so many years. Thankfully our HVAC company still works with us after we moved from Tampa to north Manatee County this past year. They consider Parrish to be part of the greater Tampa Bay area so they are happy to service our heating and cooling system out there. We still live close enough to visit the city when we want to live and experience city life again. It’s just a matter of jumping on Interstate 75 and we’re in Tampa in under an hour.
