1. Everyone is a toothless hillbilly.
2. The only thing to do is watch horse racing and drink bourbon.
3. No one wears shoes.
4. People most likely to marry their sister or brother.

That's all eastern Kentucky haha.

*Florida is all old people
-As a resident, this is NOT true. There are quite a few young people and middle aged people who exist.

*Florida is full of Transients so it has no true feel of history and culture
-LOL BULLSH**. Many of Florida's residents live in rural areas in small country towns with more of a southern feel. Florida has history but due to the fact it is constantly changing i must admit it really is not paid attention too.
*People in Florida can not drive.
-OK That One is True., HA HA
That has got to be THE biggest and most inaccurate stereotype of Florida. It may have more old people than the average state, but the number of senior citizens in the US is relatively small, so the number of senior citizens in Florida is ONLY, ONLY, ONLY, large in COMPARISON(keyword) to other states. They don't make up 95% of the population like some people TRY to make seem.

Everyone has 100 cattle and several horses.
Oil is the only reason why the state isn't third world.
This is the best list in the thread.

Lol yeah, I've been going back and forth from the Tri-State area to Florida for about 3 years now and I can tell you first hand that Florida has a mix of everybody. I always hated the term "God's waiting room" thats corny and innacurate. There are some areas in Florida where you won't find any old people at all, it's just like every other state.

Exactly, you would think with a state with so many colleges and it being a HUGE Spring Break destination, that people would realize that old people don't dictate the lives of the citizens.

Isn't the reality that there are a lot less seniors moving to Florida and instead other states or to areas not as far from their families? The stereotype seemed to work better years ago but really took a hit after the 2004 hurricane season since I remember hearing a number of seniors got scared off from moving in since that is not what someone in retirement should deal with. There is a large number of 'halfbackers' of people who moved to Florida and wound up then moving to either Georgia or the Carolinas.
