Florida is NOT the south though. *Maybe* little bits of North Florida, but we TRUE Southerners (folks from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc) generally agree that Florida is NOT the South.WalksWithChrist said:
No, no. I was just talking about South *Florida* here. I know that FL isn't really "southern" but they actually call the area around Tally "Florida with a Southern accent." FL is an enigma when you talk about North and South! Oh, and a lot of people from south FL say "Dirty South" but I've never really spend much time down there to say exactly why. ; ) I'm actually a *true* Southerner myself. Grew up in TN and MS. Yee haa!nicodemus said:Florida is NOT the south though. *Maybe* little bits of North Florida, but we TRUE Southerners (folks from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc) generally agree that Florida is NOT the South.
As a matter of fact, all of my Southern friends here in Florida have a saying "You have to drive north to get south."
Yup. It's one of the most diverse states I've ever been to also.nicodemus said:

In a nutshell, dad born in Miami raised in Memphis, TN. Mom born near Memphis and raised there.SandyLou said:How many of ya'll are native Floridians? (at least one of your parents was also born in Florida)
If you transplanted, where are your families roots from?
Oh, right! Let's break it down: Born in Honolulu, HI (dad was military!) and lived in San Diego, Memphis (several years until 8), Mississippi for about a year, dad went back to military and then we were off to NC, then GTMO Bay Cuba, back to NC, dad out of military then to Austin, TX for about 7 years, then Tallahassee for about seven years. I moved myself to NC AGAIN about four years ago. I will be in FL this week for a wedding actually! Hope the weather is good. Can't wait to get some Sonny's bbq! Sorry to my Woody's peeps...Tally just doesn't have Woody's anymore. : (SandyLou said:
Wait...I always thought a native just had to be born in the state and not need a parent who was born here. Never heard that before. My parents moved here when they were young children so they're practically natives...and I've lived here all my life so I consider myself a native.SandyLou said:How many of ya'll are native Floridians?

LOL It's hard to find someone these days who's live in the same place all their life. I wish I did have one place to call home! I've been in NC for almost four years and plan to make this my home. = ) I don't want my kids growing up like a transient like I did.SandyLou said:
Disney to me is very much over-rated. Besides...Disney is a supporter of many things my family doesn't support. Sooo...that certainly doesn't help either.
My great-great uncle worked for Disney in Orlando for a long time. I've got it in my blood too! I've been there twice, but wouldn't go on my own volition. I got a beef with Disney too.Miss Spaulding said:Whoops! I'm a Floridian...sorry I haven't posted on here sooner. My Dad is a native Floridian, but my Mom is from Jamestown, New York. Soooo...yeah. A mixture of both Yank and Rebel.
Is it ok if I say I hate Disney? Lol. 'Cause I do. Is that allowed on this thread? Haha. My Dad works for Disney, therefore we get free tickets and can go anytime we want. I've been to Disney so many times, it really isn't funny. I can't stand it now.
interesting classification!
