I'm sorry if you don't understand the difference, but that doesn't change the fact that there is one.

This is such a tragic/pathetic list lol.


Talking about Daytona and driving on the beach? Ew, no thanks. That's actually a negative in my book...Besides, that's not even Orlando anyway.
Talking about Caneveral coast....agagin, not Orlando..
A soccer team? lol, girl, please. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.

I would take Tampa Bay on it's worst day over Orlando on it's best. No offense, Orlando, but you're not better than Tampa. Nice try, tho. lol.

and I say this with zero biased as I do not live in either area nor do I have family or friends in either area. Strictly based off my own observation having visited both areas many times.

Translated, this means it's easier to stumble home drunk at 3 am in Orlando than in Tampa.

Yes, it is. However, if you live downtown there is no reason to walk past the Amway Center yet. When the Orlando City soccer stadium opens, people will have to wade a few blocks deeper into Parramore, but honestly that whole area will be transformed once UCF's new campus opens in 2017 along with the Magic entertainment complex.

There must be some insecurity issues for all the tampa cheerleaders to attack a thread that was supposed to just be fun outside of their home.

Oh please. The OP originally posted the same thread twice, both in here and in the Tampa forum. I'm not sure what kind of replies you expected to see but most of them are legit.

My Christmas wish:

I wish the day would come when everybody on C-D wakes up (wherever they are) and says to themselves.................
'I LOVE IT HERE' and have them forget all the bad that happened to them in previous geographic locations.
