I was working for a small paper in N.C. when I made the comment that I'd never work in the South again. Six months later, I was in S. FL and found out that I hadn't broken my promise: this part of the state is a mix between N.J. and Havana,Cuba. In fact, in 1990, I did a newspaper story following U.S. 27 from Little Havana in Miami to Havana, FL, in the Panhandle. You have to get north of Ocala before you start running into real hill, real trees and real people. The area around Tallahassee and Mariana are pretty with good riding country and friendly folks. I've done a lot of stories in those areas and have made friends that I stayed in touch with for years, something that usually doesn't happen on the job. Here's a shameless plug about the FLDOT maps on my website: http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/2008/07/02/i-dont-mind-paying-taxes-for-this/ Your feelings about Florida are about the same as mine, and I’ve been living here for 35 years.
