Since i lived in Florida for 45 years before moving for family reasons to western slope Colorado, Florida will always be home, even though it’s changing and getting crowded.
Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale and was even in a street scene of Where The Boys Are.
Wouldn’t change my growing up there for any other place, not only in the US but also in the world!
Left in ‘97. At that time there were only three known panters in the state. Worse than the gators and pythons are the tourists. Particularly the snowbirds. Tourist season traffic is abominable. I wasn’t a retiree but I am now. Wouldn’t go back. Prefer Western North Carolina, Lake Lure area. It’s getting as bad as Florida though.
