Lakeland? Hell the entire I4 corridor is a mess. Seffner is a cesspool, Plant City is acceptably southern, Lakeland is getting nastier, Haines City up to Celebration is like Juarez, and then you have Orlando. Don’t get me started on Orlando.
I try not to leave Pinellas county, and when I do, I exit by the north or the south. Hillsborough’s getting cesspool-y too.
At least we did not murder Terri Schivo. We have our warts, but we have not reached the point where we Judicially starve the helpless to death for montary gain.
