"Say 'bay area' and many people think only of cable cars and a famous bridge on the west coast of the continental United States. Ah, but there's another bay area on another west coast with another equally elegant bridge draped across its shoulders. And this bay area--the Tampa Bay area on Florida's west coast--basks in a whole lot more sunshine every day of the year." (Insiders' Guide to the Greater Tampa Bay Area, p. 3, Area Overview)Read more about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, considered by some sources to be among the top 10 bridges in the world in "Bridging the Bay," on pages 24-25 of the Getting Here, Getting Around chapter. You'll also find information about the other five bridges that span various parts of Tampa Bay.
