Well, we can begin with the logic that Park Avenue is a few blocks long and happens to be in Winter Park, a suburb of Orlando. Both Atlanta and South Florida can present many more instances than a four block section in one of their suburbs.

Nope Orlando's the least cosmopolitan city out there. Just look to places like Charlotte, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Nashville, Cincinnati, and Columbus if sophistication you seek.

I think its fair to say Orlando is fairly diverse. Better question would be does Orlando "Feel" cosmopolitan?

Jacksonville?

LMAO

Orlando pwns Jacksonville in every way possible if we are discussing "cosmopolitan" cities. One has to wonder if you even know both cities well enough to make that call.

From what I hear, cities like Charlotte and Columbus aren't that bad, so it was hard for me to tell But yeah, with Jacksonville, I guess I should have figured that out.

Actually none of those cities are that bad and that was my point. Orlando is technically a larger metro than all of those cities, yet most people on CD will boost those cities over Orlando. Orlando easily offers a comparable amount of everything each of those cities do, yet is often treated as if it were a tier or two below of them. IMO, there are even aspects of life in Orlando that can compete with larger sunbelt metros such as Tampa, Phoenix, and even in some cases Dallas and Houston.
