F L O R I D A, not Floriduh :p

Yes, I know, not the most progressive state but we are very slowly turning more blue over time. Orange County is blue, I think Miami-Dade is blue, I think Broward is blue.

Our highways are pretty easy to navigate, in general. The older sections of our interstates suck.

We have people in Florida from many many different countries.

Miami is very Latin. You must speak Spanish to get any decent job there (from what I am told).

The Keys are wonderful.

Lowest temperature ever recorded here was -2 F in 1899. Yes, it has snowed here several times.

Miami Beach and Gainesville would be my choices for most progressive bastions in FL.

Ask me anything, I might know
