I know this is 2 years old but it seems like fun!

CITIES- Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale

BEACH CITIES-Miami Beach, Palm beach and Fort Laudy beach

SYMBOLIZATION- Beautiful women in SoBe, palm trees, beaches

SPORTS TEAMS-Dolphins, Gators and Hurricanes

GOOD THINGS- Beautiful people (south florida, miami women were voted the best looking in the entire U.S. a few years ago) pretty much no real winters I can't stand the cold, laid back lifestyle, the sunshine is BEAUTIFUL you will never see a sun as bright and a sky as sapphire blue anywhere else in the U.S. (I swear the sun is brightest in S FL on the east coast, I have been to naples and it wasn't as "sunny" and central+north florida are definitely worlds different) people are very indifferent in florida so they wont bother you unless you bother them, one of the best tourist spots in the world with gorgeous beaches

BAD THINGS- no good jobs, education system, intelligence level as a whole....yeah not exactly seattle in the IQ department, terrible driving, people are always wanting to start a fight in miami, ratchet people

VEHICLES- clunkers, leased BMWs and bentleys, ferraris and maseratis with foreign license plates

Sounds like youve never been to Miami or any part of Sfla, the teens in naples with loaded grandparents drive better cars than the average 30 year old, in miami its all about the car, clothes, looks and money
