When you drive, it takes forever-- you have to go out to I-75, and then back south. If you look at the map, LBK is not that far south of Pinellas-- it MIGHT be as much as 15 mi due south of the Sunshine Skyway onramp from the peninsula. I have friends who grew up on Anna Maria, and boated out to Ft. DeSoto as kids.
Even though we're on the north edge, I'm "clearing the missiles.*
