How safe do you feel in Florida...

Yes, it's true - I can recall the endless orange groves of Lake County - now mostly replaced by orange-colored houses.

Re: FloridaDiver's post

It's good to know that a native Floridian understands how I feel (perhaps because most of my old best friends were native Floridians, too - makes me feel good to know that I'm right on track in my thinking about what happens here).

I didn't know about the Tiki Bar - what's next - Alabama Jack's?

As a Native Floridian and ex-resident of the Florida Key’s I agree with your comment 100%. It’s amazing how quickly developments are springing up next to the ocean, especial in the Key’s, example, Holiday Isles, home of the famous Tiki Bar, a Key’s mainstay for years will be bulldozed over and become.. what else.. water front Condo’s. There is absolutely no planning for the inevitable; a “Katrina” like event, a direct hit of a well populated area. One would think that after Andrew, Florida would learn a very important lesson. Unfortunately, politician and developers are in the same league, the greed of money outweighs common sense, over develop the land, put more people next to the water and wait for the disaster to happen…

How sad
