In my mind, Leesburg tends to be the demarcation point between "South Florida" and "Florida in the South."

The people in central and northern Florida are nice to you if you are nice to them. If you go to Tallahassee for the UM/FSU football game and tell them you are from Miami, they will say they welcome you, as they are happy to take your money (it does help if you are an FSU fan too though), but it is all in good fun.

Basically, I think if urban northerners/South Floridians go somewhere in the South and attempt to blend in and stay quiet until you can get the feel of the place, you will be welcomed with open arms. If you go somewhere new and act brash and superior, the people will (justifiably) be suspicious of you, no?

No, the South extends all the way down through the Florida Heartland, at least in the interior counties like Hardee, Desoto, et cetera.

No matter where ya' go, you take yourself with ya'

Ordinary nice people are found all over and do not undergo a transformation when they pass the South of the Border complex.
Unfortunately, neither do the AH's.
The northerners that you object to in Florida.....they're just as objectionable up here.

I'm with ya. I like to say that no matter where you go, there you are.

And after reading so many posts with the "if I could just get to Florida my life would be so much better" theme, I realized that there are an awful lot of folks trying to run away from something only to realize that, gosh, they still have big problems.

Though there are places out there that are truly toxic environments for certain people and getting out of that toxic place can make a huge difference.

They do? I didn't know that.
