Congratulations! Miami and Orlando are in last place. I guess you "win".

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I am a FL cracker. I would like nothing more than for Orlando to be the slow, laidback, southern town it was, but it's NOT. It doesnt have any characteristics of a southern town - waffle houses, ok, but those are everywhere. Yes, there are a few southerners here who havent left the state yet, but it's not southern.

Why would you want that? If you haven't noticed, no city (southern or otherwise) is the town that it WAS. You seem to be stuck on the fact that Orlando has grown and changed...but don't you realize that every city has grown and changed?

You, for some reason, don't think Orlando is southern...that's your opinion. Mine is different from yours - let it go. Opinions are "what we think"...they aren't facts.

I think the friendliest of the cities as I have never been to either place, would have to be between Raleigh and Mobile.

The last thing I'm gonna say about this... you are actually the only one that said Orlando is southern.

Orlando is southern. Actually, it feels like the deep south.

This is a forum and people quote each other.

It's not stalking. You know that I post in city vs city. The stalking started by you when you emailed me through direct message. Mods are looking into it.
Would you PLEASE stop responding to my posts? I never say anything in response to your posts because they aren't worth a response, yet you seem to follow me around and respond to EVERYTHING I post! It IS called stalking, and I wish you would just stop. I'm not interested in discussing anything with you or people like you.

Trying to "flow the conversation" by asking me why I quoted myself? What does that even mean? You're trying to hijack the conversation once again, and I would guess most everybody in this forum is about tired of it.

What a great comment.

It's comments like this as to why Chick Fil A and the deep southern culture still dominates Atlanta.
