Barbara Been there, done that, will never go there again. Without ever examining my granddaughter's eyes,he started writing a prescription for reading glasses (at age 7), even though the nurse who gave her the eye chart to read said she got them all right. He never even looked in her eyes just asked her a couple of math problems & started writing. Luckily we brought her to Dr, Christine Burns in Palm Harbor (who was at the time with the same eye group "Suncoast" but different location and she found no problem after a full exam. Thank God for honest doctors who care about the patient and not just the dollar.
City Spotlight
One of Florida's oldest cities and it's major port on the gulf coast. Tampa was first settled in 1823 and incorporated as a town in 1855. Interstate 275 runs north-south through the city, connecting in downtown Tampa with Interstate 4 running east to Orlando/Disney World. I-275 continues across Tampa Bay to the city of St.Petersburg on the west side.
It is a year round destination for vacationers and retirees. Ybor City, near downtown Tampa is the old town founded by immigrant tobacco workers in the early 1900s. Today it is a festive place with many bars and restaurants. The Channelside district in downtown Tampa is the site of the Florida Aquarium and the cruise terminal, plus several shops and restaurants. The Miami-New York Amtrak rail service stops in downtown Tampa
Both the Museum of Science and Industry and the Busch Gardens theme parks are on the north side of town, near the University of South Florida campus. Close by is the Lowry Park zoo. All are near I-275. The gigantic St.Pete Times Forum, where hockey and soccer games are held, is on the south side of downtown, near the Tampa Convention center. In south Tampa is sprawling MacDill Air Force base.
The busy Tampa International Airport is the largest on the gulf coast, with daily transatlantic service to London on British Airways. Taxis, rental cars, and airport shuttle services are available at the baggage claim areas on the lower level. On the east side of the airport is the International Plaza mall with over a hundred stores and dining venues.
Right by the airport is the Raymond James stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team. There are many hotels in this entire area.
In St. Petersburg is Tropicana Field stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team. Most beaches are across the bay from Tampa. Stretching over 20 miles, from Clearwater Beach, which is jammed on spring break, and throughout the summer, on the north to Pass-A-Grille beach on the south, is one public beach after another, each with it's own name, with thousands of accomodations to choose from. There is no need to have a car, as the beach trolley runs the entire length every half an hour seven days a week. Actually, it's a PSTA city bus modified to look like a trolley.
The world-renowned Salvador Dali museum of Art is near downtown St.Petersburg.
