I've lived in Florida ALL my life a ton of people hate it because of heat, storms,no scenery and humidity...
I hate the heat just as much as anyone but I can go inside to the AC or to the beach.
Now I do live in Tallahassee so I got my Seminoles which usually are doing good but the crime in Florida and Tally is soaring higher everyday BUT if you stay out of the wrong neighborhoods your fine.
How can not love Florida when you have the beaches just about 1 to 2 hours away for MOST people that live here and did you know Florida has more beaches placed in the top 25 beaches then any other country-
BUT if you never go to beach then florida s***s... except for the fact that the whole state practically a state Park for some G*d d**n reason which is great! but the traffic s***s everywhere and during the summer the tourist are so bad my family just stays in tally...
Pros: Beach, great people, tons of Parks, touristy places, great weather, AMAZING SEAFOOD, sports weather is always great and unless you live in the middle of no where there's always your local Publix
CONS: Expensive, tourist, weatherrain., horrible crime in certain neighborhoods, football teams called UF and Miami and last traffic is always terrible... Excuse and spelling mistakes please.
Tallahassee is a great college town. It's not the most exciting place to live, but there are a lot of cultural options and it's near the beach.
I love Cluster and Hops. It's a wonderful, small bistro housed in a gourmet food and wine shop.
I don't like how they don't have to many jobs and how the crime is.
It is very ugly and no jobs to save your life
