well, there's the south, and then there's gator country.

green grass and high tides forever!

let me tell you about the city I live in.....I will cut and paste for
accuracy lol

St. Pete has the Guinness book of world record for the most consecutive days
of sunshine: 768 (year 1967) and averages 360 days of sun each year.

American Style magazine named St. Pete the number one arts destination among
mid-size cities in the U.S. in 2010 and 2011.

St. Pete has the third-largest downtown waterfront park in North America,
behind only Chicago and Vancouver.

The Pinellas Trail is the longest urban linear trail in the eastern U.S.

In June 2011, the editors of Parents, the nation's top-selling parenting and
family lifestyle magazine, named Fort De Soto Park America's best family
beach. In both 2008 and 2009, TripAdvisor voted Fort De Soto the No. 1 beach
in North America.

St. Petersburg was ranked the #3 most dog friendly city in the U.S. by
BellaDOG Magazine.

St. Pete operates the largest recycled water system in the U.S.

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge, at 4.1 miles across, is the largest cable
suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere, rising 19 stories above Tampa
Bay (at midpoint).

St. Pete is the birthplace of commercial aviation with the flight of the
Benoist in 1914.

St. Pete is the birthplace of Major League Baseball Spring Training.

Vinny, we all know Jon just loves painting things with the widest brush available.
He lives in San Diego,I suppose that is the south, I mean it's right on the southern border,right next to the next country south of the US. can't get much or south than that.

I work with someone who considers everything north of I 10 to be yankee,so I gusess
that as San Diego is south of I 10, Jon is a good ol' southern boy.
