Anyone in the tampa/st. pete area know where this is?

Question

This question may seem a little farfetched because it lacks detail, but I'll give it my best shot. You see, I have a memory of a long time ago when I was a child (about 5 or 6, I'm 17 now btw) of walking down this small street around christmas time. Infact I think it was Christmas eve. Anywho, there was a bunch of really small shops, and most of them were closed because me and my family were walking around really late. I remember it was cold out and we were all bundled up walking down this street just looking at these little shops. I remember this like it was yesterday, I just don't remember where these shops were... I asked my parents and they said they don't know it might have been Dade City... but I want to go back to this place this holiday season cause I remembered I loved it as a kid... does anyone have the slightest clue of what shops these may be? They were mostly antique shops if I'm not mistaken. Sorry for the lack of details =P

Answer 1

If your parents said it may be Dade City I would agree. Dade city is an historical district north of Tampa. It has many shops along 7th St and many are still antique shops. During the holidays they decorate the street and shops and have car shows , Parades and other fun events. Here is the area: http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIycG51BF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwLWJ1dHRvbgRzbGsDbGluaw--#mvt=m&q1=7th+st%2C+dade+city%2C+fl&trf=0&lon=-82.189085&lat=28.364705&mag=3

Answer 2

I spent many years as a courier in Tampa/St Pete and your question is a bit too vague even for me. My only thought is perhaps Old Hyde Park Village down on Swann near Armenia but I don't remember there being any antique shops there.
