I hate going to part of FL because of the rude people. Almost half of the time I go to the 
grocery store there is a confrontation of some kind. I "visit" the west coast of the state near 
Gasparilla Island. I'm told that the proximity to "The Rotunda" is the reason for the rudeness 
and that it is not indicitive of the state. This is the only place in FL I shop for groceries, pay 
utilities, talk to neighbors and don't act like a tourist however so I can't say for certain that this 
is true or not. I like Key West and have always been treated well in the northern part of the 
state in places like Cedar Key or Port St. Joe. Sarasota and Charlotte counties are hell on 
earth though.
What part of the state do you call home?
