Now, I am sure he didn't mean midwesterners from Ohio, Indiana, Mich, Ky because we all have added to the Florida appeal.

Can anyone translate this for me??? What the heck was just this post???? [/quote]

Be glad to. I grew up in S Miami, we used to go to a beach called Matheson Hammock. As you walked away from the swimming part of the beach towards the mangroves there was a thousands of little holes about the size of a quarter where these little fiddler crabs lived. As you would walk up on them they would all scurry for their holes. It was like the earth was moving below your feet as this chaotic scramble for safety ended in dead silence and every last one of them was in their hole. It all took about 2.5 to 3 seconds. Damndest thing ya ever saw.

Where the Miami metro zoo is now located it used to be an old WWII base that handled weather observation craft such as blimps for the waterways in the Carribean. After the war it was pretty much left abandon and my playground as a kid. There were large expanses of pavement and concrete put in place almost like runways. Back in the 1970s of street hotrods from all over south florida would come out on sundays and race 1/4 miles. Corvettes, old Dodge hemis modified street mororcycles. It was a freakin blast as a kid I watched alot of money and a few titles change hands.

We used to spend alot of time camping in the everglades down a road we used to call loop road. There were these irragation ponds and canals dug for what I have no idea. But the soil they left from this ditch digging and dredging was like pure black muck and as rich as any top soil Ive ever seen. So one year while we were out their having just got our drivers licenses torchin a blunt we decided to plant some seeds. Came back a few weeks later and they were doing really well so we watered and tended to them as much as we could get out there and 3 or 4 of the plants matured and budded into a couple of OZs of some pretty decent smoke. So we did this for quite of few years.
Camping and growin dope in the everglades are fond memeories

and what else

Oh yea, if ya pull up a seat on just about any pier in the keys and wait long enough a school of parrot fish will come swimmin along. I guess there pretty nasty for eatin so no one fishes for them but they are absolutely gorgeous fish in the water with every color of the rainbow.

Honestly, I have found Northeasterners and immigrants to have the most attitude and are reluctant to live like "Floridians". The Midwesterners for the most part are friendly and seem to not be troublemakers. Also when I grew up in Miami all my friends were either from Midwestern parents or from Floridian parents. When I say "immigrants" I mean foreign born, mostly Latin Americans who may or may not be legal. The illegals tend to be less trouble. as they don't want to stir up trouble for themselves. The Mariel Cubans and rich south Americans seem to be the ones who like to stir up trouble. Not all of them of course, but the few I have encountered in daily life. I am constantly sad about what happened to Miami, every time I drive through there it bothers me.

I lived in Mobile AL during high school, and we'd go over to Pensacola FL on the weekends to see my cousins. I have great memories of spending the days at the beach and on my cousins' boat, biking or (attempting) to play tennis in the afternoon, hitting a movie in the evenings. Second best memories are attending some of the Fiesta krewe balls in Pensacola. I also have good memories of lazing around the beach over at Haulover, when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale.

Default Why

Why is it that the same people on this forum can take a pleasant topic like this one and turn it into a negative or political argument.
For real...it's the same people all the time.

I for one like getting on the Harley, driving to the coast in time to see the sunrise...

My grandparents fishing place in Homosassa. Swimming across the intracoastal in Pompano to get to the beach, thrill hill in central FL, watching friends jump off the bridge at Boca inlet before it was developed.

The hari krishnas in Coconut Grove...everything about Coconut Grove.

Tiki bars with steel drum bands, sailing.

Anyone remember those crabs that would be all over the road on A1A in Hillsboro Beach- creepy...

Monkey Jungle, Gatorland, Six Gun Territory....in wanted to be a can can dancer there when I was little.

Now- St. Augustine, River Resort in Homosassa, back roads, titki bars with steel drum bands- lol- NASA, waterfront bars and restaurants, outdoor concerts, Havana, FL antique shops, St. George Island....

Went to Key West, met a great girl, had a great week. Best specific memory, making out hard core at the southern-most point marker. Still keep in touch with her, wish she didnt live in Michigan and me in SC.

That is awesome, I travel allot and there are more towns in Florida that do that to me then any other state.

Maybe Winter Haven is in your future!!

Mmmm As a kid, back in the 80's, Picking Fresh Oranges off the trees outside of our house, rolling them around to "soften them up" and pierce with a plastic citrus straw... Yum! Fresh juice anytime.
