Native New Yorker? C'mon down! Every other one of your homeboys has. You'll fit right in, especially if you have that New Yaawwker accent.
Friends your own age? Again, avoid Sarasota.
You will crap your pants during your first hurricane. The Gulf Coast gets hit more regularly than the Atlantic Coast.
Culture? In FLORIDA?  When I first arrived, I went to a Bocelli concernt wearing dress slacks, a dress shirt and a sport coat. I was surrounded by buffoons wearing beach shorts, flip-flops and Guayaberas...all yakking on their cellphones why Bocelli was performing. I may as well have been at a Dolphins game.  |
I lived in FL for 27 years. This info is dead on. In the end the only thing you will like about FL is the weather in non hurricane areas. Just wait until you find out how much insurance is...LOL! Culture???? Faggetabaattit.
