It's part of that huge void of Northern florida towns that are devoid of any reason to live there unless you are old, Christian and retired
Live Oak and the surrounding area is, IMO, one of the most beautiful areas of our state and if you like exploring the outdoors, there is nowhere better to live. I couldn't live there full time, as I am more liberal with friends of multi-colors and orientations, but the rivers and springs, the woods are incredible.

We lived in Live Oak for 2 years, 2006-2008, and then moved further south. It's a small town where the people still have manners. Little kids say yes, ma'am, no, sir, and open doors for you. I found most people to be friendly. I couldn't deal with the fact that I had to drive 60 miles to buy a book as the nearest bookstore at that time was in either Valdosta or Gainesville. Lake City didn't even have a bookstore.

There's a Walmart where everybody buys their clothes, so you see the same shirt on a lot of people. There's a Lowes and Tractor Supply along with a couple other feed stores for people that have animals. There was a fairly good barbecue restaurant, Cheryl's for a buffet lunch, and a couple other restaurants. Suwannee Music Park has a fantastic light display at Christmas and you'd be centrally located between Jacksonville and Tallahassee.

Downtown Live Oak flooded when TS Debby came through, just google and you'll get lots of pics. Live Oak is also prone to sinkholes, big ones.

Live Oak has winter which I couldn't deal with. It gets in the teens or colder there. We ended up in Ocala which I love, but if the small town atmosphere is what you're looking for, Live Oak will serve the purpose.

I agree with this. I posted in this thread a couple of years ago apparently, but I'll post again. If you don't care for the big city life (like me), then Live Oak is great town. I've always said that Suwannee is my favorite county in Florida. The down to earth people, beautiful scenery especially the Suwannee River and mossy oaks, and the farms on the south side of the county. You can't go wrong! There is an abundance of outdoor activities, and you're halfway between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Gainesville is not too far either, but being an FSU alum and die-hard Noles fan, I try to stay away from Hogtown.

Like I said a few years ago, if I had a job opportunity in Live Oak, I would definitely consider moving there, as much as I love it here in Alabama.

So you are saying you had sex with a girl, she had a baby and now you have to pay child support for your spawn? That is what I got from reading between the lines.

LoL, who pays child support.

Who gives one night stands their phone number or real name too, shame on you for not knowing how to work. Next time, pay for the abortion if you make the mistake of them "finding who you are"
