Re: In defence of Florida!
Thank you for this. I was the person who is thinking about Tampa and it was great to read this.

Schools - FL schools get a real bad rep on here.. I can say I'm very happy with the pre-kindergarden program near me - very experienced staff, and only 7 children in the VPK class. Kindergarden and 1st grade - very impressed with what I've seen. The high school I know less about but I'd be surprised if it wasn't well above the US average. Now again, I'm not saying all FL schools are like this - probably the majority aren't, but good pockets are around, you can't tar all schools the same way.

That is why houses in Marina Del Rey are outrageously expensive, yet comparatively cheap in Riverside.

You pretty much described what Ive been through, I'm in Alabama but on the Eastern Shore near Mobile, Al, Close to the Gulf and Beautiful beaches!
So Pulaski comment's really are true the South is defiantly the same!
Don't get me wrong the Humidity and the heat can be intense in the Summer months! But good A/c will keep it all good! Even now in Feb its hitting 70-75f!

Hi Boiler, yes but it's predicted to be close to 70 later today and over 70 tomorrow. Thought I'd say hello as I'm in Colorado also, Lakewood west side of Denver.

And to be fair: "Normally we go to Del Taco because of their $0.59 tacos, but we made some extra cash this week so we went to Chipotle"
is something i might say.
