Of course, most doesn't mean best.
I couldn't bring myself to comment on something so trivial from that guy. A simple google search shows a million pizza restaurants across the Orlando metro. He can search for himself.

I know A LOT about Orlando. I might even move back there soon. Got a call today about an interesting job offer. My step aunt of mine lives in apopka actually (Massachusetts roots). Though I admit I have only been to her house maybe twice.

Apopka is a northern suburb of Orlando. It's probably saturated to the brim with northern transplants just like Clermont and Lake Mary are. No reason to think it is any different.

I mean, other than the Starks, who brags about being from the north? Do we say "the north will rise again?"

I live in DC, it just doesn't matter. Lived in Texas and everyday I'm reminded that Texas is great.

It probably has less to do with Northerners not having pride and more to do with Southerners being insecure. But given the regions history I can't blame them.

We both live in transplant city. I've talked to many from Philly, NYC, and New England that is just as prideful about their city as any Texan.

That's city pride though. I don't know as many people who are proud of the overall state, in fact northerners tend to complain about things. "NY sucks" "Michigan sucks" etc.

Cute story. This proves nothing, though.

DC is different. I lived in New York as a Southerner, they're probably the most proudest bunch I've witnessed close and personal, I personally find it hilarious. Same for New England as well, except I'd probably just mark that as elitism.
