Evidently near Sarasota...My childhood buddy Jimbo moved there a few years ago. He & his bride were through here in their motor home last week. Hope all is well with them when they return home.

He flew F-111's for Uncle...has carried nukes, so maybe he's used to radioactivity? ;)

I have an old fuzzy (taken with an instamatic) color snapshot on the wall. Jimbo & I sitting in front of my then new '66 GTO. He & I had a conversation when he was here...both of us wondering how we managed to hang in as long as we have...

Yup, couldn't pay me enough to live in LA. I'm there probably 8-10 times per year and hate it. I go to FL by choice. To each his own.

Los Angeles is in California, the most beautiful state out of 50. That would be the difference.

Florida ranks somewhere in the 40th or lower; it was a disgusting swamp, then they dredged it and actually made it nice, then they built ugly condos along every inch of its coastline, making it a schit hole again. Now, it's about to be under water thanks to climate change. Oh yeah, it's also about 150 degrees there and filled w rednecks who constantly get in the news for bizarre crimes. Great place.

LA is pretty when I'm facing the ocean. Of course I can't swim in it, because it's effing cold 11 months out of the year. Then I turn around and remember that it's an overcrowded filthy schithole in the midst of a desert. Like I said, to each his own.:)

What are you in L.A. for? Los Angeles is getting way too crowded and it's always been a terrible place to visit but a great place to live for people who can figure it out, which is not everyone. It definitely has its shortcomings but it's also impossibly beautiful and interesting.

Another thing is that Los Angeles is a city and Florida is a state. It's best to compare apples to apples when comparing geographical locations. I'm sure that there are relatively nicer parts of Florida, (my grandmother lived in Palm Beach during winter back in the day), but the state is a toilet. :cool:

I'm out for work a LOT. We have a corporate office in Pasadena which isn't bad, sucks to get there but is a nice walkable city. I also have customers in the LA area so I get to go all over the place.

Seriously, now you're sounding like you just read about it on PARF. The ocean is warm in SoCal about 6 months out of the year; not gross bath water warm like FL but just right for cooling off on a hot day. :rolleyes:

I know that it can't compare w Kansas, (ranked 50th out of 50 states for beauty in a recent poll of travel writers), but it's not at all what you are describing. Once again, where "in L.A." are you visiting? Compton? San Bernardino? :confused:

Didn't see your last response while I was typing; you think that Pasadena is a filthy, overcrowded schit hole? What are you smoking, son? :)

Driving "all over" L.A. isn't my idea of fun these days. That may have something to do w your POV.

No, Pasadena is decent. Pretty much everything between LAX and Pasadena sucks. In the last year I've done Pasadena, Irvine, Corona, LA proper, Malibu, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, Burbank, Monrovia (not really LA), and some others that I've forgotten. I travel entirely too much all over the USA, and frequently have "I could live here" moments. I would never want to live in LA. But hey, we have 50 states to choose from, like I said to each his own.

BTW, KS sucks and our plan is to GTFO once the kids get through high school. So you're not going to get any defensive reaction from me on that one.:cool:

I'm not a big fan of LA either, but there are some great areas in LA and a ton of things to see and do. South of LA is much more livable IMO. It's a great state, I relocated from the midwest and plan to stay. I've visited FL many times when I lived in the midwest, no plans to go back.
