Ugh, thats Florida for you. The best I found down here is in a gas station in Sunrise. Sounds hard to believe, but I kid you not, you had the loud mouth Bronx Italian guy working there that would cook to suit the taste of the locals AND the transplants. He made one with a really really good sweet sauce on top with an excellent crust. Regardless, like you said, I could care less, because thats what vacations are for!

As you can tell, I'm from (upstate) NY. My neighbors on both sides on my house are from NY, as well as my neighbor across the street.

Although I'm from NY, I have a native Floridian attitude about people who come here and complain about trivial things like how the pizza sucks in FL, or how bad the humidity is.

It's pretty simple. If you don't like it here, then move. I love Florida!!!

I live in South Florida and have since birth. I almost NEVER meet anyone who is older then 20, who was born here. Nearly everyone on this side of the state is from the Northeast. Fear not, all are welcome here!

The area around Sunrise Lakes sure has changed, but Sunrise Lakes itself really has not.

Honestly, I am glad the good pizza is hard to find. I would be pretty fat if it was everywhere! Florida is great because I can continue to stay active year round.

Now ya know, that's where the term, "Condo Comando" originated....LOL!!!, yeah, the E/W roads all ended at Pine Island when I lived there....now, pretty soon, we'll be meeting each other in the middle from the gulf to the atlantic...in another 10 to 15 years.

Are there Floridians in Florida??? I've lived here for a year and a half and haven't met one native Floridian yet! Everyone is from another state.
