I would have mentioned Dunedin except for the fact that you wanted a progressive music scene - which Dunedin does not have, imo. St. Pete has a lot of museums, venues for artists of all kinds, lots of outdoor festivals, a mediocre to crappy baseball team. Dunedin is a pretty good drive to St. Pete or anywhere else, really, down the infamous US19 - which consistently ranks within the top 3 in traffic accidents in the US. Gulfport is a sort-of suburb of St. Pete and is a pretty laid back kind of scene. It doesn't have a brewery - but there's a nifty winery right down the road. The Dunedin beer is...well...it's not in the same league as any I've tasted in Seattle. Anyway - not disparaging Dunedin, I've lived here for 30 years, however and just look at Dunedin as a small town. A good one. But a small one.
