Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 328685, member: 780"] OK, its only inhabitable for 6 months a year (humid and buggy with occasional hurricanes). Year round International Drive in Orlando puts me in mind of a sunnier version of Los Angeles in "Blade Runner". It's a monument to everything wrong with American culture. It is, however, close to Disney World, a plastic recreation of places around the world that actually are worth seeing. I'm sure there are nice places in Florida. I like the Keys a lot. And Palm Beach is nice. As I said, the first 1/2 mile in from the beach isn't bad. But the rest of it is a mildewed swamp. There are a lot nicer places. I just spent some time in Portland, OR. Rainy at times, but green and mild. And clean and beautiful. Great golf courses with actual grass. Very good food abounds. And some of the best wine in the world. [/QUOTE]
