Yeah. Florida is an extreme version of most states - very liberal, for the most part, in larger cities and very conservative and talibornagain in rural areas.

Sloppy Joe's - a Florida institution!

I miss the seafood.

I probably wouldn't recognize a lot of Coconut Grove anymore. I left, my boss called and asked me to come back to work for him because, he said, I was one of the few people he could trust, and a couple of weeks later I heard he had been shot by some rogue cops who were on the take. He had a club in the Grove and I took care of his money. Glad I moved... I used to come in to work and find the chef pulling a gun out of the safe. I was much younger then... lol.
