I've been to Tampa many times, and all I can remember are the multitude of "Gentleman's Clubs" along Dale Mabry Blvd. So, if in "Paris of the USA" you mean "Paris Hilton of the USA", then you're dead on...

They have those kind of clubs there right by the football stadium? Never been there.

Funny, even though I was pretty young when I lived in florida (Orlando), I can remember the high number of "Gentleman's Clubs" we passed on the way to church each sunday. LOL!

mcLUV,
we are in Pelican Bay and have a private beach and tennis courts there... sometimes it is a little "too secluded" but i admit it is peaceful and relaxing. now with a child it will be more speed... instead of the last 10 years of me climbing the walls trying to find something to do while j-woww goes to sleep at 10pm. now ill probably be the one passing out after chasing kid around all day. oy.

Naples Bath and Tennis.. that is where i take lessons. although the place turned into a ghost town last time i was there.
do you know Curly Davis? he was my instructor and is a fantastic coach. last time i went though i was too out of shape to get much out of his drills. of course it used to be 4 people in group lessons but then i just did private lessons so there is no time to rest. but i am very fat and out of shape too.
he used to be at B&T but i think had to move. not sure where he is but you can contact him through:
http://www.curlydavistennis.com

p.s. - u gotta go to Panevino's restaurant in pelican bay if you've never been. gotta make reservations during busy winter season but its worth it!
bruschetta, osso bucco, spaghetti carbonara, veal francese, lobster ravioli..etc. just looked it up and there are some nasty reviews, but our 93y/o grandma has been going there for 30 years and we always find the wait staff to be extremely nice... although they do seem to rush around a lot.
anyway, we always go there.
we also go to Bistro 821 on 5th Ave and like that food too.

so plz pass along the best of naples from ur perspective too!

sweet tennis courts down there, eh??? freakin tennis paradise but rarely do i find anybody to hit with. it is like torture sitting on immaculate clay courts watching 80+ mixed dubs. i scoff at those annoying 80y/o guys as they leave the courts with there 45y/o wives as they get into their SL550 roadster and cruise to the country club for brunch and then a brisk walk to the cafe for an espresso and maybe a light swim or 9holes of golf before getting in the hot tub and then dinner at favorite restaurant with scallops and sweet breads and a $250 bottle of wine before heading to the opera house for Tosca.
these farkerz have crappy lives
bah!

I think Orlando is not down to just 1 club now. The towns here got much more strict on them and most went out of business.

I dont like that Curly Davis guy.

He has taught that lady in one of those pics with the wrist band near the elbow to pull her shorts up too high to invoke the camel toe distraction technique. I will never go take a lesson from a guy that stoops to such lows.

[tennismonkey]

this looks kinda awkward.

[Sup2Dresq]

Tm,

If not for the glasses, lack of wrist probation on the take back, ...and other stuff, I would of thought that was dats.

[tennismonkey]

that's a good call sup. does look dats-esq.

but it looks like he's got some kblade racquet and dats doesn't do kblade.

WWDD = what would dats do?

[datsveryinterestin]

My serve relies heavily on my wrist probation!
I guess all us white guys lok alike! Rascists!
My knees havent bent like that in more than a decade....
except for 1 time at band camp

[hollywood9826]

Is he also a curly davis trainee?

He teaches the females the CT Distraction tech.

I guess he teaches the guys the Long Ball Larry David Technique.

I dont think this guy has masterd it yet.

*insert sappy pic of dokic (sp) coach*

If I were to cast an actor to play dats it would be Ed burns.

[coolblue123]

I thought that serve stance was pretty good, no?

I talked to Sensai this am. He mentioned I should ask you for serve lessons. Since you one of the best kick serves he knows of.

Curry Place has gotten so much of my business lately. I think I go at least once every other week. That's a great find!

[tennismonkey]

your sensei trained me when i had the back of a 30 year old. i havent hit a good kicker in years now. i hit a lot of sliders and pancake serves. for my money paulman and downs can hit all the serves in the book. i will happily teach you hot to hit forehand slices though.

owe Sup 1 beer cuz i would also cast ed burns cuz he is kool as sheet in every movie ive seen him in. i think i was watching the movie 15 minutes years ago and thought i looked just like him. of course nobody else would throw me a bone.

wut dats wished he looked like when going out to bars:


wut dats thought he looked like when going out to bars


wut girls actually saw back then:


but lately i think i look more like paul rudd's head on galifiniakis' body.
actually i might just be straight up galifiniakis!!!
i've gotten FAT y'all! how could i even hope to compete on the court.
fark. so fat. so lazy. so lame. im embarrassed. now i will soothe myself by eating another donut and drinking a few more beers. seriously... thats what i do! embarrassing!

[datsveryinterestin]

put 20 more lbs on sandler and he might even play like me now!
check out the sweet service motion:



and whiff on the forehand:



but alas he looks too in shape to acurately portray the
"dats gets bumped up to 3.0" movie.

Dats at my age:



Fuggedaboutit.
