Sanibel island is pretty badass too. There's a little bit of a tourist vibe there but it's a lot more low key. It's more about rental cottages rather than towering hotels and tacky bullshit. There are lots of really chill spots with no one around.

I like Nokomis beach on the North Jetty.  Nice park, and no businesses.  Only place there is a little shack at the fish camp where you can buy drinks and limited food.  I usually go there every 4th of July.  You can watch sarasota's fireworks to the north and englewood to the south, and ofcourse they have their own fireworks, all at the same time. 

It's :awebig:

Yeah I grew up there and Florida has the best mushroom fields, and some really good pot. All my old friends there seemed all the same though.

When I came to Alabama though I found people of a similar culture to mine. (sex drugs and death metal)

The Florida I know is involved in a never-ending rat race, a feeding frenzy of consumption.
Most people who live there don't really know what it's like to be truly relaxed. There's always some crazy shit going down two streets away.

The overall atmosphere of the place just gets to people.. makes them crazed and psychotic.

You have to constantly be on your guard..
The police presence and attitude breeds a general environment of paranoia and mistrust among people.
I've been profiled and harassed more times than I can count.. pulled over for fabricated causes and imaginary traffic infractions.
The cops where I'm from can literally do whatever they want to you, and get away with it.
The police have an extremely belligerent "Us vs Them" mentality, and everyone else returns the sentiment.

Almost every major Florida city contains a striking schism between the have's and the have-not's.
Upscale suburbs have giant walls and guards to protect them from the poverty-stricken ghettos that make up the core of any city.
There is a noticeable lack of interaction or even recognition between the rich and poor...
The homeless are looked down upon as revolting scum, and often get the shit kicked out of them by drunk frat boys looking for a hoot.

Did I mention you need a permit to do virtually anything? The dysfunctional bureaucracy has it's tentacles in everything, and don't even get me started on the legal system.
I'll give you a hint: corruption, money, and injustice are the laws of the land.

hopefully there will continue to be such thing as florida beaches in the future...ive always loved FL growing up, as a vacationer, and as a resident of Orlando for a year... have also heard many's negative opinion on various things... one old friend swore it wass evil...ive only seen the good, the relaxing, sunny side.

I have a question. What is West Palm Beach like in Florida? I plan on moving there in a couple of months. I will be looking for an RN job too. Anyone have any advice? I have a place to stay already. I do not have a stoner look, I am 45 and very clean cut, so I think there will be no problem with profiling by the police. That may be the problem with some of you. (not judging here). I am drug free too, for now.:wink:

That is what may keep me from moving there. I could move to Colorado near my brother. :confused: I need to go to a place that will hire me as a new grad, and from my research online it looks grim. My teacher told me not to worry, I will find work. Some places do not advertise because they want to see you in person and talk to you right then to see if they want to hire you.

Hell, I am middle aged so the old folks do not bother anyway, I have always gotten along with them. I don't mind the arts district thing either gaudy or not. In my new line of work I will be dealing with a lot of old folks anyway.

You made some great points Adamist.  I still feel Florida is a great place, if you can live through all the bullshit I guess. 
We got some amazing sun rises:thumbup:

I live in WPB.  There is a large police force around here, I have heard its because its the first stop for cocaine that comes in from Miami.

If your older and look older, the law shouldnt be a big deal.  This place is basically built on old people having a place to retire.

Do you know where in WPB you want to live?

Not exactly, but I know it is about 9 blocks from the beach. I will get details and post to see if you can tell me anything. I think they said it was a gated community. Do you have any advice about looking for a job in the hospitals as an RN?:grin:

My only experience with West Palm was going there for a concert and getting lost in the ghetto afterwards.

We couldn't find the public beach, it seemed like it was all private (i.e. owned by rich people/corporations)...

So we drove around and got lost in the hood, we had crackheads running by like cockroaches and sketchy characters surrounding our car several times.

We ended up finding a hotel- the most rundown hotel I've ever stayed in, for $60 a night.

My overall impression of WPB was you're either rich as fuck, poor as fuck, or you live outside the city in the suburbs.
