I have always had a fondness for Latin American cultures. I enjoy hearing the Spanish and Portuguese language, and the dramatic disposition of Latin Americans is just hilarious at even the most random times.

I don't care of the conservatism in Southern culture. Transplants from NJ, New York, the Midwest, and Latin America are what has given Florida its live and let live social atmosphere. Too many Southerners still focus too much on what other people are doing in their bedrooms.

I also don't care for the nosiness that Southerners display when talking to you. Mind your own business, you know? Not to mention the whole being nice to your face and then talking all types of negative things about you behind your back. Northerners, particularly North-easterners, don't play type of crap.

i also dont buy into the "southerners are nice to your face, but its fake" comments either. i have met tons and tons of nice people in NC that are genuinely that nice. perhaps you dont see it or it is lacking in FL in a major way, so you dont believe it.

Those New Yorkers like Henry Flagler, right? Should have left the barren land barren and the swamps swampier.

Well Henry Flagler (New York) and Henry Plant (Connecticut) saw opportunity in Florida where other Southerners were still moaning about the Civil War & Slavery and never established a cultural or infrastructural foothold in the state except in the panhandle and the northern part of the state.
Both of these men created railroads that lead to the founding of cities such as St. Augustine, W. Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami ,Tampa.

The rapid development of Florida was due to wealthy Yankees investing in the state while the rest of the South was basically bankrupt after the Civil War. Florida was basically "barren land" with the lowest population and didn't have the historical vestiges and political garbage of slavery and the Confederacy the rest of the South did considering it became a state in 1845.

Not all "Northerners" should be lumped together with the stereotypical NY/NJ types (just like all Southerners shouldn't be painted as bible thumping racists as so many people love to do). Although I did personally find a lot of folks from the aforementioned NYC metro area to be rather arrogant and not exactly polite, not all of them were like that, and I've never found most Midwesterners to be particularlly rude people. I deal with people from western PA on a daily basis and for the most part, they are just as friendly as anyone I met down south. I'm just saying'...

One of the few sensible posts on this thread that doesn't deal with broad stereotypes. On the downside, don't expect any of it to sink in with the Trump-like posters who swear all Northerners are rude or everyone from NY/NJ drives aggressively, etc. because of course their experiences are completely different from the rest of us.

Henry Flagler only cared about one thing: MONEY. Just like all greedy northerners they come down here, rape the land, develop the coast and many people died working his railroad for pennies a day.

All of you are running away from not only the 2 months of winter you cant hack but the people as well only to make FL a warmer version of your northern dump...
