I did live in south Florida, but I lived there before the overcrowding go to the extent it is now. When I was a kid Coral Springs was dairy cows and a lot of the Pompano area was bean fields and tomato fields. I lived most of my chilhood in what was a little town named 'Margate'. We had woods, canals to fish and swim at, and rock pits to sneak off to and go swimming when we were stoned out teenagers :). It was nothing like it is now and I was born in '61 so it wasn't back in the 'dinosaur' days..lol, as we used to say to my mom who grew up in Hollywood and went to McArthur High School, she was born in '42.
i do like the laid back feeling here in Ocala but, I miss the beach, the deli, being able to walk to the store, etc.. and I miss my warm winters, hate the cold, if it's below 75 degrees I'm cold :)
Where in xouth Florida did you live?
