Jacksonville isn't really "Florida".
I say this having spent 20 years there growing up. 
Hit the panhandle, or St Augustine/Daytona. |

We went to a state park with a lake full of gators. Despite many, many warning signs there are still always idiots bringing their small children right to the water's edge.

I lived in Jax for three years and really enjoyed it. Tallahassee is nice too. PLENTY of outdoor stuff to do as long as you can tolerate the heat.
I like the panhandle but I like central and south Florida too. |

Leave Jax
Get on US 1, drive until it ends; enjoy the journey. You usually see gators when it's the least convenient for you |

If you took Los Angeles and added lots of water it would expand into a large dick shaped land mass called Florida.
I like Florida, it's got an eclectic mix of weird, wonderful, horrible, luxury, poverty, beauty, ugly, spectacle, fun, and wtf. It's really got a lot of everything. |

I went to Florida once for a convention. There weren't any hills so I couldn't really see much. They have huge ditches.

Quoted:
Little green lizards everywhere. It didn't rain but my car is soaking wet. A XXX Adult Fantasy store in every mall. "Thank you, Jesus" is a popular term for "I agree". Want to see a real alligator. Family has no driveway and a drop light for a porch light, 5 non-working cars, and a cast iron well pump so rust is thick on every sink or toilet. The most perfect mid day temps right now. Cool birds. Saw my first Oriole. Service / frontage roads. If someone grew up down here, I can only understand 22% of what they say. Family is willing to share their last bite of food with you. (I left them a $50 for having me over, and man they needed it. Helped them fix a 98 Cutlas that needed a AC bypass pulley. More as it comes to me. Cool place. Haven't left Jax yet. Don't become an odd news story. That happens a lot down there

It's a cool place to live. I'm in the Panhandle, so it's not really Florida. I'm not fond of the heat and humidity, the tourists and the traffic. But the fishing is great, gun laws are decent, and we have the best news stories and crazy people.
Pretty close to,other large cities to visit, a few hours from New Orleans, Jacksonville, Six hours to Orlando, about the same to Atlanta. Florida is not too bad. |

ill take it over my home state of PA. I was born in Tampa and grew up in Pasco County. My dads family is from Dade City. I still have family there, my brother is in New Tampa. He's doing great but my extended family there has always been on the poorer end of the stick. So I see a bit of what the OP saw whenever I go down to visit. But I wouldn't change it for the world. I miss the palmettos and gators and boiled peanuts. My daughter loves the lizards scurrying around everywhere. And I do miss the heat. |

Born and raised in Orlando and still have family there. I loved growing up there camping, fishing and hunting all the time. I really miss the fishing, the craziness not so much. Moved to Georgia years ago and love it. The craziness seems to get worse every day. My sister tells me all the time this or that was stolen from her house or in the neighbor hood.

I definitely don't miss the heat & humidity. I hear they're finally going to re-design the airport road area...AGAIN. Shame the northside just exploded with stores and people. |
