Once mobile, Tampa Bay offers an incredible diversity of fabulous no cost and low cost places to go and things to do, many of which aren’t all that familiar to us “locals”. It seems that these places are well advertised to the tourists but not to the local population. We’re changing that in our first article.

Next we’re finding out which sports bar will become our Rated Best’s Fan Favorite. But we need your help. Just stop by your favorite participating sports bar and fill out a ballot. The winning sports bar will receive an ESPN live remote party and you could win a free dinner or our grand prize, a seven night, 8 day beach getaway at the Sirata Beach Resort in St. Pete Beach.

We are living in one of the 5 most desirable metropolitan areas in the country according to a recent survey. If you agree, please tell us why. We really want your feedback, input and ideas for future articles and future issues. Tell us what you think should be Rated Best of Tampa Bay. Please visit our website and click Feedback.

Welcome to our new magazine about our local lifestyle. To really enjoy living here, it’s hard to be a pedestrian. So a set of wheels is not a luxury, it’s a must, be it a car, a truck, a scooter or a full blown motorcycle.

Our special section - Rated Best Autos - is designed to help everyone do their vehicle buying research. Women will find this section especially useful since we now purchase more than half of all vehicles sold and influence more than 80 percent of all automotive sales, according to a recent study by CNW Marketing

Research (CNW). No wonder that NASCAR draws more than 30 million women fans while female drivers, owners and crew are coming on strong. And more women are becoming involved in motorcycling too. The number of female riders has jumped to almost 4.5 million! You could be added to the list. Test your luck and enter to win a Motor Scooter from Barney's.
