OT: What's your favorite city in Florida other than Miami?

Y'all should've seen Sanibel/Captiva in the 70s/early 80s...talk about insanely beautiful....that's when Sports Illustrateds famous cover "Christie" (Brinkley) on Captiva came out...

Everytime I've been to Jax (many times) it's been raining. And I don't mean the occasional tropical shower like in SoFla. I'm no meteorologist but does it rain a lot more in NE Fla than in any other part of the state? Gets pretty **** cold in the winter too.
 
Sarasota , Destin , Keaton beach . We have a place in Keaton . The beach is 100 foot long , but there’s a few sand bars you need a boat to get to . There will be 50 boats out there partying. The water is shallow , so you can find a place just for the ppl on your boat to hop out and have a good time . On land , they only have a gas station and two bars . We love riding golf carts and drinking beer . No cops other than one passing through and they don’t give a **** what you doing as long as you acting fairly sober. Lol Great little redneck town . People from soflo come up to go scalloping every year

St Augustine is most interesting city in Fl, but I am a history lover. I owned a house/second home on water in Key Largo for years. Hard to compete with that, so Key Largo ties for second. Miami has been first since birth and remains so.

right on hater, stay at Gilberts every time i come to town, maybe 5 times a year, cant beat that old school place and maybe best tiki in the Keys
 
Still in Miama but give me Destin, best beach in the world... also Sarasota/Longboat Key, St. Augustine, Stuart, Everglades City/Chocoloskee. Basically anywhere I can do some fishing, especially backwater.

Que up Johnny Cougar's Small Town;

Punta Gorda, with a four square block downtown and park along the bay - great Tiki Bar. The city was estabished in 1887; Old Florida fishing village on the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor.

This is the best unspoiled harbor in Florida and one of the only not ringed in concrete - you come in though Boca Grande Pass, round Cape Haze and look up the Harbor what you see - aside from one development and a water tower - is the same **** view Hernando h Boca Grande Pass, round Cape Haze and look up the Harbor what you see - aside from one development and a water tower - is the same **** view Hernando DeSoto had at the dawn of the 1500s.

The Harbor is where the sport of Rod and Reel Tarpon fishing originated and the epicenter for the World's Greatest Tarpon fishing! Also the Celtic Ray was voted the 2nd Best Irish Pub in America to celebrate St Patricks Day, and I'm Italian.[/QUOTE

Brings back fond memories watched Charlotte high school play home basketball games on the block after 17 ends on 41. Biggest brawl I ever saw at a football game Charlotte High at Venice and somebody turned the lights off. A sister still lives on Port Charlotte

GIlberts was almost new back then, I think. You know are old when you were there when "old school" began. We did most of our damage outside the house at Crib Death, aka Caribbean Club. It was old school dive then. But then again, as the song goes, I have friends in low places.....
 
Anything past I-4 Tampa to Daytona we consider you niggaz Alabama and Georgia niggaz. We don't even claim you as being from Florida
