  And no-one should be allowed to drive under 70 miles an hour.

ah man, just last night I was talking to a friend who also grew up in FL about all the "man, xxxxx makes us SO floridian". so much on your list was accurate too. and spanglish...heh. yeah, it's more readable than I realized. but yeah, storms, weather, all that kinda stuff, our outlook is totally different than someone from up north.

I miss a lot of the food-type stuff, from simple things like pollo tropical to various little restaurants, to buying hispanic food in the grocery store. oh man, Arepas. I miss arepas.

I just recently realized that lifers in Tampa have a certain accent. I pick it up whenever I am down there for any amount of time.
