With respect to my honorable colleague ScottD, let me suggest you re-read "Donnie Brasco" and the pseudonymous book by the SA who was Tony Rossi (name is eluding me this second) and do the Pinellas Cty/southern Pasco tour from St. Pete to Holiday. Not everything is still there but plenty is and you still get a good sense of the geography. Meet the right folks and you can hear some Greek gangster stories also... You can also do some Jack Kerouac tourism in St. Pete if so inclined.
I'm surprised nobody here's joked about Tampa strip clubs, massage parlors or Nebraska Ave hookers yet but I guess we're all clean living! Still if like bbq now and then, don't miss Eli's in Dunedin -->
