Anyone in the Tampa Bay area know what this is?

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

I imagine it could have been a number of towns in Pasco County.
But this is an awesome question, memories of a town that have stayed with you all these years. I can identify with that so much.

I found Dade City’s website and it looks like a charming but Small city. And, interestingly enough it is well-known for it’s antique shops.
From their website:
Dade City is noted for its beautiful historic district and the multitude of antique and gift shops.

You might care to look at the site yourself:

If your parents were staying in Dade City or a town thereabouts, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find.
Dade City is not very big. A population of some 6,600 only.
Good luck, I really hope you find this town from your childhood memories.
