Largo is the third largest city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States, and is part of the Tampa Bay Area. As of the 2014 Census estimate, the city had a population of 84,500, up from 69,371 in 2000.
Largo was first incorporated in 1905. In 1913, it became the first municipality in Pinellas County to adopt a council-manager government. It switched back and forth from "town" to "city" a few times, and became a city again in 1974. It was an exporter of agricultural products until the 1960s when the influx of people began to transform it into a bedroom community. From 1905 to 2010, Largo grew in area from 9/16ths of a square mile to about 19 square miles (48 km2), and in population from about 300 people to more than 70,000. Largo began as a rural farming community and became the third largest city in Florida's most densely populated county.
Largo is a sister city to Tosayamada, Kochi, Japan. In 2007, Largo had been named a National Arbor Day Tree City for the 28 year in a row and is the only city in Tampbay that is a Sterling Tree City.

The area I live in is beautiful , it's close to the beach and shopping. You can find plenty of places to go like the aquarium or the zoo, maybe even the botanical gardens. The park's are also amazing places to visit for a pinic.
I've been in this community for almost 8 years and I enjoy the variety of activities in and near this community.
Life is unpredictable and having some predictability in terms of shelter, safety and reliability can be of the upmost importance again. Life can be unpredictable.
