That is true, I think most people aren't into that though. But I know some who are all about it. If so, FL is your place. If not...FL doesn't offer much *outside* those activities as mentioned above. The terrain is flat, and it is hot and humid 9 months out of the year. So people who like *other* outdoor activities are probably going to hate it.
I like hiking, mountain biking and camping as my outdoor stuff...FL is probably the worst place for that. Even camping as a kid we would drive all the way up to north georgia or north alabama tn or nc for anything remotely interesting.

And yes, I love cracking myself up, I figured if I put LOL it would probably cut the tension, and plus nobody else laughs at my jokes.
Oh, you were joking. Next time try a winking smiley because the "joke" was lost on me.

And I don't get offended over "vs" threads. I just don't get the point of bringing another city or state into one when they're clearly not the ones being discussed.

If I could put Center City in the keys, I would so totally do it.

Anyhow, I pick Florida even though both Philly and Pittsburgh are some of my favorite places. I love the Keys, and I love the sun. Also, St. Augustine is awesome.

Definately a Southern State. yeah FL is prolly more humble (like nicer on the road and of course sweet and kind people) most ppl in NE are rude and immature and like CA bunch of airheads who think their better then the world around them just cuz the drive a BMW. my opinion and if you don't like it you might as well take this to Halo 3 and we will see who the true victor is .

You're totally basing your opinions on stereotypes. The nicest people I've ever met were from Maine. The worst, Florida.

I mostly agree with you. Some of the most rude people Ive ever met were tourists from NE. And everyone from CA that Ive met seems to always have something bad to say about were you live, followed by how wonderful CA is. Just my experience.

^^Of course tourists are going to seem rude anywhere you are. They're SO rude here in NY. It's because they're not paying attention to anyone but themselves, since they're on vacation. They're thinking more about standing in the the middle of the sidewalk deciding what to do next, than thinking, "I better get out of the way because there are a stampede of NYers commuting home."
