Local FL plate - I checked! :sosad:

someone you know? visiting from NoWal? heck, it could even be a SoWal resident. I'm just saying - this is not that kind of community overall. when I leave this place and visit Birmingham, my hometown, my senses are overwhelmed with southernness from all around because I'm just not used to it anymore. haven't been for 25 years. when I see that flag flying high above the interstate, I notice it. it stands out. I'm not used to it at all.

Noone I know/recognized, but still a local car w/ a confederate flag on it.

this county goes all the up to the bama line ya know.:wave:

I didn't say we don't have our good old boys and girls here. I'm just saying I don't think you'll see as many vanity plates in SoWal as you will in PCB and other areas in NW Fla.


I wonder if yankees adopt the confederate flag for their purposes ever?

Yep. What is it we have over a hundred at last count. He sponsored a bill for one of them, so I guess the other 99 people were just doing their job.

What?:dunno:

ummmmmmm.... yes, in my experience living in 5 different southern towns. Each very different kinds of southern culture. SoWal = perfectly suited for me.

birmingham = way too southern, MLK not a popular figure among whites who believe the media is responsible for any negative images associated with the south. rebel flags abound. food is wonderful. I would weigh 300 pounds if I still lived there. many people do.

tuscaloosa = pretty darn southern and funn too. good mix of friends, plus a group of good old boy / funn redneck friends who hated MLK holiday and would rather work. fewer rebel flags but still standard.

gainesville = not enough southern (almost no southern). great great great educational life experience in many ways.

pensacola = very good southern, very strange development planning with pockets of heavy industry, minorities scattered throughout, with naval influence. great people, but quite bible belt boring.

SoWal = just right southern.

I think there are many places in NE and NW Florida I would truly love but not south florida - that is the least southern of all.
