    I have a great idea for your videos. When you’re mentioning a place, have a map of Florida in the corner with a star in the place your talking about so we can visualize where it is.

    Def agree with you! You do not want to move to Arcadia! Just visit. You def only live here if you have roots/family. Also, unfortunately our Opera house has been DESTROYED by Hurricane Ian. They are trying to rebuild.

    I lived in Fernandina and graduated high school from there. It's a neat town, not so little anymore. It does have some nice beaches and houses, but there's not a lot of good restaurants in the area. You do have T-Rays on 8th Street. And Sliders Seaside Grill on South Fletcher (A1A). If you're over 21, you got The Palace Saloon and the Green Turtle. There have been some bars that have come and gone but those two have stuck around. The first weekend of May Fernandina has its Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival. A lot of different arts and crafts vendors come from all over the state to it. And it has a lot of food.
    Micanopy also has Pearls BBQ. It literally is a hole in the wall at the Exxon gas station on 441. Best brisket that I have ever had in my life.

    Dude. It is funny that your wife is from ICHIGAN.
    My wife is a yankee from OH IO.
    More humor, My dad is from the U.P. (if you don't know what that is, ask your wife) and my mom is from Cleveland, but I was born in Homestead. Hahaha so extreme differences there.
    I actually lived in Ohio from April of 1990 (I turned 12 in August) until October of 2019 (at 41) . We are living in Bradenton now. And yankee isn't contagious, I have always been a Floridan.

    I also like the even balance between coastal and interior. People forget that Florida has a beautiful interior of ranches, lakes, rivers and awesome springs, and some unique non-beachy coastline where fishing outweighs laying in the sand.
