Tommy Paris and No Bones are on to something, Senior Pelicano. Things seem to slow down a little when you get away from the Metropolis's. There are little pockets of Southern Hospitality in Miami, Orlando and Tampa but for the most part they are trying to operate in a "New York Minute". In places like Holly Hill, Cedar Key, Sebastian, Punta Gorda, Flagler Beach, Goodland, Arcida, Branford and Crawfordville people seem to be willing to "take time to be nice". Don't judge too quickly and take time to smell the night blooming jasmine and listen for the whippoorwill, while you sip on a sweet tea.
It's all good Jimbo, but be careful, that Southern Hospitality is contagious - but I think a big dollop of it is good for the soul.

Orlando and the big cities in Florida are certainly lacking in friendliness and hospitality. But I agree with Terry, all of those places have it and I don't plan on moving mainly for this reason.

Thank you señor , or is it senior Terry.

All of the boat ramps, parks and piers on the east side of the county
are some of the finest in the state !

They are still free for now.. New Smyrna has been tossing around the idea
of charging for the parking.

River Breeze Park was one of the parks that was funded by the Port Authority while I was serving as chairman.

Glad you found a slip / dry stack for the Topaz..

I keep the No Bones at Inlet Harbor when the "Rays" show up in the spring
for fast access !

i'm waiting on a weather window to run out - high speed trolling !

Most of the uptight people in my area are part time foreign residence or just yankees that haven't acclimated yet. It takes a little time for them to adjust...

Do not tell any more people from New Jersey about how great it is. I moved down to Bradenton from North Jersey. I have probably saved $250,000 on the state income tax and property tax alone. Girls are at least 2 points more attractive and average 20 lbs less.
Milf's abound!

Brian, you forgot to add "and they have a better personality". As far as the 2 points more attractive, I'm assuming that's on a scale of 1 to 5?
