Treasure Island, Florida. A series of islands, half man-made, half made by nature. Right between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. Here's the town:

Mapquest

My place is a two bed/two bath house with an office and a den-like area. No garage, which is going to make it a little sketchy for getting back into woodworking, but I think I can set some stuff in the den. The kitchen is big for the Tampa Bay area (a lot of older houses). The master bedroom has a sunroom looking over the back, and so does the living room.

The back is great: a nice patio area, a big tree, a swimming pool (more of a swimming puddle -- I could probably jump over it), and a small dock into a waterway that connects to the Intracoastal. It's small, but very, very cozy. All for around $100/month more than what I was paying for my apartment in Atlanta for a bit more room, and fishing in my back yard :)

Worked on work today. Signed a lease today. Worked on the car today, but not much and it gets dark too early. I bolted the rest of the transmission on, then proceeded to snap a bolt off the starter motor, so I have to fix that (*grrr*). Then, just the axles, battery, air filter, then we try it and see if it blows up. Tomorrow's a lighter day -- I think we might have it done before dark.

Is that Clearwater or Tampa? It looks close to where I stayed when I was in Clearwater.

Then again, what the heck do I know, I was only there once ;)

whoa...sounds a lot like the place i moved to after i first moved away from "home"...except our pool was kinda big and we weren't exactly on the intracoastal, but across the street
is it right next to john's pass?
that's a nice area
whenever i'm in tampa, i go out of the way to go to the pass and the beach right there
so many memories....

Sounds like things are working themselves out for you quite well! The place sounds cool!
