Hey, did you read my post about what happened at the Greenville airport? Or did you bypass that with your brochure Asheville comment?

And btw, not to change the subject, but it kinda goes hand in hand.... today I was on the 408 - my first day back in Orlando where I was actually driving on a major road/highway. Anyway, I'm in the middle lane - not the right lane or he left lane - the middle lane. Anyhow, there's a lady behind me and she's frustrated (I can tell) because traffic is going slower than she wants it to go. So anyway, I have someone in front of me, so it's not like I am holding anyone up - plus I'm in the middle lane not the left lane. Anyhow, she passes me on the right and curses at me. I swear to God she cursed at me FOR NO REASON. She said somethin like "Get the F*** outta my way" or something similar. There was definitely a long stare from her and an F word thrown at me. And I did nothing at all wrong. IT AMAZES ME. I just got back from Asheville so as you can imagine, I was just reminded I wasnt in Asheville anymore.

I think you missed the overall point...

It's south between South Fort Myers and Bonita Springs.

My daughter does not ever go outside, and I will not let her play with the kids(or whatever they are) here. Ever see the movie "Legend" with Will Smith? At night he can't go outside... Ya, that's me. I will be living in the Fountain lakes gated community cross from the Coconut pionte mall. Working there too. Same pay, free rent and utilities, but better living conditions is most important. And MUCH BETTER property I will be working on.

Compelled, we can go around and around... you never seem to come to grips with the fact that S FL has a problem. Rude people, terrible drivers, road rage... it goes on and on and I can show you news articles time and time again, provide examples, etc... Look, if you like S FL and you dont see the problems, or maybe you do, you just dont admit to them, then that's up to you. I have family in S FL that's been there well before I was born, and I have family that will tell you that S FL has changed and that all the problems I bring up are definitely real. Maybe you dont see how bad it is because that's what you know. Just do me a favor, one day, go up to Asheville, Raleigh, somewhere like that, and just give it a chance and tell me that the driving, the people, pretty much everything, is so much nicer and just more enjoyable in general. Maybe you are well aware that the quality of life is much better in places like NC and TN, and you acknowledge this, but maybe you use choose not to believe it?

Try reading over this thread on the Greenville forum... someone asked if the people in Greenville are friendly... you got responses from natives, Floridians, Northerners... do you think the same kind of comments/results would be coming out of the FTL or PBC forum?

Estero is really, really nice. It's weird. They're surrounded by areas with really rude people yet the people in Estero are very, very nice. It's funny how certain demographics gravitate towards different areas, isn't it?

Again, I think you miss the point, lol

...and for the record, I have been to the stunning, jack-of-all-trades Raleigh several times, love Asheville, and have never once denied the problems that can be proven such as the driving.

I'm from a little town right outside of Worcester. Very unpretentious area. It reminds me of Knoxville.

We do have the Boston accent, though. I bet he says, "Woostah!"
