spartacus2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Anybody interested in meeting regularly with like-minded folks in the St. Pete, Florida area? I would open it up to Tampa Bay entirely, but it becomes hard to get people to drive from one side of the Bay to the other. Thinking twice a month? Location TBD, maybe a Panera Bread somewhere central to Pinellas County?
Tony Crowe Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I used to live over there. It's a tough place to be when discussing ideas with people due to the culture. Best of luck assemling that FLFam!
spartacus2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Posted June 8, 2017 When you say "due to the culture," what in particular? In the three years I have lived here, I have noticed that for such a large populated area, very few people actually want to get together and discuss anything intellectual, and it's been driving me nuts trying to figure out why.
Tony Crowe Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Some people do or don't consider Florida to be "The South" which is generally considered to be anti-intellectual. It doesn't mean unintelligent. There are a ton of smart people! You can see them doing amazing things with their jobs, inventions, and wealth creation. They aren't interested in discussing ideas and it makes them extremely uncomfortable to do so.
Ph1losph Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Hey I live in Tampa and would be interested. I don't mind driving across the bay but have a somewhat limited schedule on weeknights. Weekends are a little better, but could go either way depending on the day. I've been listening to Stef for about 10 years now and it's been a real education.
