Perhaps that is what Harry is referring to. He is a Jacksonville fan.


The "whole I-10 corridor" of Florida is very sparsely populated. There
are no substantial towns along it from Jacksonville to Tallahassee and
not much in the way of population from Tallahassee to Alabama. The
Jacksonville area is populated with over-religious, conservative and
backwards people, but Tallahassee is hardly that way. Even in
Jacksonville, though, the huge Baptist churches were integrated.
Catholics were the ones discriminated against...and I suspect the Jax
area was far too backwards to appeal to very many Jews.


I doubt you have actually spent much time in Tallahassee and I know
you don't know much about Pensacola from what you said.
There are also plenty of small towns if you get a few miles off of
I-10. It is still pretty much Baja Alabama tho.

There you go again. You have no idea how much time I spent in
Tallahassee. And I didn't say the corridor was unpopulated...I said it
was sparsely populated. That there are small towns some miles away from
I-10 doesn't change the validity of my posit.

So go ahead and regale us with all the stories about how Harry the
wonder schlong banged every pretty girl at FSU.
We have not heard of your Tallahassee experiences yet.

I liked the seasonality of NE Florida, compared to southern Florida, and
I also liked the uncrowded beaches, the flora, the boating and the
fishing. But it was pretty much a cultural and intellectual wasteland,
otherwise.

If I were going to move back to Florida, I'd go for Fernandina in far NE
Florida, or somewhere around Ft. Lauderdale. Both are great for boating
and fishing and Ft. Lauderdale is not a cultural, intellectual and
overly religious wasteland.

I suppose if you like the North East US you would be right at home in
that whole SE area of Florida, You even have the old familiar I-95
grid lock. My office was in Ft Lauderdale and the kids lived there for
4 years but I did all I could do to avoid the place. Miami is even
worse.


We were in the Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale area for two weeks last year
and never once got even close to getting on I-95. Never ran into
"gridlock," even on Route 1/Biscayne Boulevard. My wife's grandma lived
in your neck of the Florida woods and we often visited her. Didn't much
like the Gulf side of the state.

OK so if you stay at a friend's condo on the beach and never actually
have to go anywhere, you might not notice the traffic on I-95 or US1
or the turnpike but people who have actually had to work there have a
different opinion..

I suppose if you prefer the theater to nature, the east coast is made
for you. I prefer the theater of the estuary where wildlife is the
"play". Not much of that left on the Atlantic side.

I guess it is good you folks stay over there.



Where did you get the idea that I preferred "the theater to nature"?
Oh, and we did drive up and down US 1. But we had no reason to get onto
I-95 or the Turnpike. We stayed in Hollywood at the resort hotel
formerly owned by the Plumbers union.

Scott Walker considers himself one of the leading contenders for the

If you time it so you are just getting there at 10, you can score but
there will be someone waiting for you too pull out. If I couldn't find
a spot, I would just go home. I was passing through anyway. I usually
decided which museum I would visit by where I parked. They are strung
out all along the mall there and you have plenty of choices. Most of
the year parking is not that tough tho.
Another cool spot is Haines Point. I caught a small mouth bass off of
that seawall once on a rubber worm. I didn't really have anything to
do with it so I tossed it back.

Hanes Point was always a great place to take kids so they could climb and play all
over 'The Awakening'. But, since they've moved the statue to National Harbor (where I
won't go), the point has lost it's big attraction.
