Born in Texas, then transplanted here around 5 years old . 34 years old tomorrow. I have lived in Tenn,V.A , West V.A , and Conn . I love everything about F.L except every Northerners who move here and talks about how great N.Y , Bostons, etc. I love asking those same people " If it's so great there then why don't you go back ? " You moved here for a reason so your old home can't be that great. I live on the outskirt of Tampa now . I can't see myself living any where else.
