Rather than describing places, some have chosen to stereotype people.
That's pretty scary.

Good point.

Let's try to keep it on track. This is very important information for people new to Florida.

US 19 in Pasco County is a giant eyesore and a lot of the area to the south of Bradenton is dumpy, with parts even being creepy. Not dangerous, just lots of weirdos.

Broward County - Broward Blvd and 95 area.. Sistrunk. I've seen things there Ive never seen anywhere else.

Just about anywhere off of 95 in Miami. Unfortunately, if you travel along 95, you have to go through the bad parts to get to the good parts.

If some people believves that Florida is ugly you all need to take a drive through some parts of West Virginia, Philly, Baltimore, St Louis, Memphis, and a few others.

If I had to name a town that is downright the worst Florida has then it would be Daytona Beach. Run down, dirty etc. the town needs to clean up their act as they are an embarrassment to other beautiful Florida towns.

On the flip side, Florida has probably the most beautiful cities and parts of any state I have traveled in and I have been in them all.


To the person who said West Pasco, post a name of a town or something because I cannot believe anyone would be scared in any parts of Pasco county.

I never said West Pasco was scary, I said it's an eyesore. There's a difference.

The ONLY good thing G'ville has got going for it is the Gatornationals, and thank the Lord that it is only once a year. Other than that - I stay away from it because punks and brats that don't know how to drive without texting and using celphones.

I did not say it was you.

Someone on page one had mentioned it before you did.

I have lived in FL almost my entire life -- the scariest part - dodging the damn yankees on the highways and byways. It is the low-lifes coming in from other states that ruin our beautiful state. That is why as soon as I retire -- I am gone!!

Palm beach county. The wealth/income disparity in that county is scary. Meth addicts poor illegal aliens, dirty streets surrounded by multimillionaires and billionaires
