I'm from the south and I get on airplanes to go see PJ. Why don't you get off your ass and take a trip to WPB or Tampa?

You might get too see a building that doesn't look old, grey, and shitty.

Uh-oh...I think I hit a nerve.....

Well, it just depends on how you read what I typed.

Thanks for calling me super cool. I think you're pretty neat too.

Above Palm Beach County is what is called the Treasure Coast, I believe, no? Although perhaps PBC is part of South Florida AND the Treasure Coast? I'm not sure on that one, but ONE thing I'm sure of is that Palm Beach County = South Florida! haha

I don't think they have a clue what the parts of our state are called. My whole life people have referred to my area (Tampa Bay) as Central Florida.

But the University of South Florida is in Tampa and my area is part of the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

So, who freaking knows?

All I know is PJ is coming and I'm going!

Tampa in the Southwest sounds about right.

Palm Beach County is culturally much much closer to South Florida than to Central Florida. Anybody who has ever been to Palm Beach Gardens or Jupiter knows this. Martin/St. Lucie/Indian River are the Treasure Coast. Brevard up through Daytona are Central Florida, anything north of that is North Florida.

Ft. Myers and Naples are Southwest Florida, Tampa is sorta in between SW and Central Florida, which primarily consists of Orange, Osceola, Brevard and Seminole counties.

The weirdest thing about USF isn't that it's in Tampa, it's that University of Central Florida, in Orlando, is maybe 20 miles further north than it's "South Florida" counterpart.

This is what I know, the University of North Florida is in Jacksonville...which is in North Florida...or South Georgia.

Well you must be somewhat cool since you like PJ but I will admit that it hits a nerve when people have that attitude about the South. I have traveled this whole country and there isn't much difference between people no matter where you go except for accents.

I just can't comprehend this feeling of hatred from people up North...

I too disagree with the South bashing on this board, but after the 06 "PJ go F yourself" tirades I am less sympathetic. And I also cannot agree with your take on the south being like everywhere else except for the accents. Maybe in certain areas in a college town, but everywhere else you will find unique occurances, like having teens openly listening to country and attending their shows. Up North that is most rare. In the South, it is OK to do that stuff.

I can't argue with you on any of that.

No prob. We'll just have to agree that we agree....WHAT? Hhahahaha.

That's funny.

And i will admit my first choice of a show on this mini tour was Boston but I couldn't get my wife to agree with the spending of the money.
