key west, Florida

Submitted by Nicole

not my home town but where i live (military). key west has allot of water and historic things, the dry tortugas a great national park that is in the middle of the ocean it was a fort that the us started to build in the 1800's and never finished, we have a very good hands on aquarium (touch a shark) and a tank that has everything you can touch (hence the name touch tank) sea cucumbers, horseshoe crabs, hermitcrabs, starfish ect, also we have wonderful cuban food (we are only 90 miles from cuba)..the coast guard has allot of boats and on any given day you can see the navy's jets flying overhead they are all a great sight to see.. the population is 25000 and the island is only 4 miles long and 2 miles wide..key west was originaly a sea spong town the people who lived here harvested and cleaned sponges for export it wasnt untill the early 1900's that the keys were even conected by a bridge which didnt survive long but now we are and it takes 3 hours to get to us from miami in the most beautiful drive (you are surrounded by ocean on all sides the gulf on one side and the atlantic on the other) we have the sothern most point of the U.S. my favorite part is the water and the food you couldnt find better cuban cuisine in cuba than we have.. o and the drive is breathtaking,, on the way down you can walk on the original railroad bridge that never saw completion in bahia honda state park it has beautiful natural beaches..

Okeechobee, Florida

Submitted by Linda English

Okeechobee, on the north side of the big lake in Florida, is not your typical tourist area. It's small town feel is reminicent of the farms and ranches before everyone discovered the wonderful winter weather. Folks have a southern drawl and a friendly attitude you seldom find on the Gold Coast or the Treasure Coast. Lake Placid, nearby, has thirty odd murals painted on the sides of buildings. Okeechobee is an endearing blend of old and new, and especially enticing during the winter months when the snowbirds fly south.

Sarasota, Florida

Simply, where fun goes to die.

Tallahassee, Florida

Submitted by Mitch

Well it's not my hometown but it's where I live. Tallahassee is known for, of course, two things: The State Capitol and home of Florida State University. I've been here three months and really enjoy it. It's close to Wakulla Springs and would is just a few hours from Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando.

Tampa, Florida

Submitted by Rocky

Tampa is located in South Central Florida. If you're a tourist, Tampa has a lot of semi-cool things to do. It gets very hot here in the summer, and around November it starts cooling off. In the winter the temps get in to the 50's and 60's with the lows some nights getting in to the 30's
There are still some natual places still left in the area, and I like to go hiking there when I get a change. Of course we have a lot of alligators, but once you've been around them, their pretty laid back as long as you don't bother them. Sorry this isn't in order as far as the requested subjects go, but as the history goes, I could write hunderds of pages on that. Basically, Spanish explorers came here in the 1500's then the Seminoles and Ceeks in the 1800's Tampa became a major trading port and still is today. About 300,000 live in Tampa proper, about 2 million on both sides of the bay. The most scenic area would be downtown, channelside, too many to mention.
I really don't have a favorite thing about Tampa.
You should visit my town because we need your money to keep us afloat! HAHA!! Tampa really does have a lot to offer (if you're a tourist) Plus, it's not like Gary Ind, but not the greatest place either. Hope that explains it. I lived in Baraga for a short time many many years ago, and that was the best time of my life!
