It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I know this is a little off topic, except I own Piano World so there is some connection :-)
I am selling my manufactured home in Largo, Florida (Gulf Coast of Florida, between Saint Petersburg and Tampa). This is the side of Florida with the soft white sandy beaches and the warm gulf waters.
It has been COMPLETELY RENOVATED/REMODELED, Updated, and is MOVE IN READY! Furnished
PRICE DROPPED TO $17,900 further dropped to... $16,500! (we need to get this place sold)
Kathy and I have already committed to a house in Maine (yes, we are moving from Florida to Maine). It has great acoustics for piano parties :-) But I need to sell my place in Florida first. If you can think of anyone who might like a place on the Gulf Coast of Florida for only $17,900 $16,500, please tell them about mine! I promise we'll invite you to our piano parties!

I've reduced the asking price of my Florida home down to $18,500. I have over $25,000 into it (not including all the free labor Kathy and I did) so it's a steal!
This is your chance to own a winter retreat in a warm/sunny/tropical setting, or live here year round.

The Red A marker is pointing to where my place is located. As you can see it's less than 5 miles to the beaches.
The beaches are all public, and even where there are condos in the way getting to the beach, they have to maintain public access. These are some of the biggest most pristine beaches anywhere in the state.
The water to the left is the Gulf of Mexico. Note the scale indicator in the lower left corner. It's about the same distance in the other direction to Tampa Bay and the beaches on the east side of the peninsula.
Here is the pitch from the park web site:

It looks like it's not far from Clearwater, where my family would go most summers for a coin show. I have to agree that the beaches on that stretch of coast are absolutely gorgeous. Wish I could buy it.
In 2010, I was fortunate enough to be sponsored by the Philadelphia Phillies to interview many players at their Fantasy and Spring training camp in Clearwater. What a wonderful area.
Frank, if I could afford it, I'd buy it from you outright. It's 90 minutes from my grandfather in Englewood. I'll ask a few family member who might be interested. If I get a hit, I'll let you know.
Every day we are afforded a new chance. The problem with life is not that you run out of chances. In the end, what you run out of are days.
Not only are we within minutes of some of the nicest beaches in the country, we're also surrounded by theaters and museums and parks and great restaurants.
For the younger set (or young at heart) we are 40 minutes from Busch Gardens, and 90 minutes from Orlando (Disney World, Sea World, Universal [with it's wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter] LegoLand, etc..
Or head for downtown St. Pete for ... the Dali Museum, or the only permanent Chihuly exhibit in the country, . A little further south (about a 45 minute drive past beautiful scenery) brings you to Sarasota, home of the Ringling Museum (plus more gorgeous beaches and great shopping).
And of course if you are into boating and/or fishing we have endless miles of coastline, protected harbors, and the inter-coastal system.
And if that isn't enough, there are three big piano stores and a designer within five miles of my place.

Hi Monica, Clearwater is the next town, great area and home to Winter the dolphin of Dolphin Tale fame.

You're not very far Frank from where my dad used to live over in Holiday Ranch Park on E. Bay Drive. It really is very nice over in that area. We've been there dozens of times and loved every minute of it!

And the best true Philly style cheesesteak sandwich south of Philly can be found in a little stand on East Bay. They even import their bread fresh from Philly every day.
And yes, I've had cheesesteak sandwiches in Philly :-)

There beautiful beaches within 5 miles of my place. St. Pete beach, the beach voted Best in America is only 15 miles from my house. When you get on the coastal road there are often beaches on both sides of you because of the Inter-Coastal (inland waterways).

Your place sounds like a real deal to me! best wishes and while we're at it: where that elusive picture of your new home? Heard it had room for several Estonia grands....
I always enjoyed going to the Orange Blossom Grove with my dad too, watching them make the orange juice and it was sooooo good too!! Mmmmm. Every time we go down there, that is a must stop for me.

I have an orange tree in my yard. See, just buy my place and you can make your own fresh squeezed orange juice!
