Carter said that Tampa "had its good days" and he was happy because "all of my family lived there."

One thing that Carter always said seemed odd was that there were "25-30 girls hanging outside (of the house) every day." That may seem pretty cool to some guys, but Carter said it was strange because he "was like 6" years old.
