LIved in So Fla for 40 something years and just moved to the west central part of the state.. Dunedin, just a stone throw from StPete/Clearwater. The traffic sucks here like So Fla.
Been visiting my snow bird friends here in Dunedin for years and decided to make the jump recently.
People over on this coast are very polite. I've been the "Florida tour guide" for my out of state friends for years. Key West, Dizzy world, Shark River state park and Hollyweird Beach..
I got in too much trouble in Miami so I stay away. Fun times for a guy that was "only" stay for a year back in the late '70s.. HA!
