Why do we Floridians get forgotten every time someone mentions the deep south culturally we are (where) similar to South Georgia and have a lot of Spanish and Southern history. We are like the Rodney Dangerfield of the south.
- mindcrime 16y agoHeh, sorry, bro. I almost put FL, but in my mind, Florida has a distinctive culture that separates it a bit from Georgia, Mississippi, etc. Maybe that's just because I tend to think "South Florida" when I think of Florida... since I'm a Miami Dolphins die-hard. :-)
- kls 16y agoYeah most people do think of South Florida when they think of FL. It funny how similar we are to CA with south and north FL being so totally different like it is in CA. Up until the 50's all of Florida was culturally similar to a mix of Georgia and Louisiana. After the 50's it all changed, I grew up in a town called Vero and it was on the dividing line between south and north. It was a cool place to be, like living on the border of two totally different cultures. That being said the gulf coast is still rich in old Florida culture. The coolest part about Florida is we have a deep pirate history, being a pirate buff as a child it was an awesome place to grow up.
