I lived in New Port Richey from July 3 1976 to February 13, 2003; just 20 miles or so north of Tampa.

Loved going to the Royal Thai Palace in Hyde Park for excellent healthy food Thai. Cheesecake factory is good too.

I was in Knoxville, Tennessee a few years ago looking at houses because I was considering moving there and I asked someone if they knew where I could get some Thai food. They said, "Well, there's a Shoney's down the street. I suppose you could wear a tie there."
