I live in Southwest Florida. It's not really a bad place, it just doesn't have much to offer to younger people, particularly those who like to be out and about. It's quiet, and I do like how relatively safe it is. It's also a nice place to raise a family. While the weather can be unpredictable, it's generally hot and humid, as to be expected of Florida. It rains a lot during the summer, usually in the afternoon and night. I live in walking distance of a plaza, a McDonald's, and a pizza place, which is nice.
And since we're telling raccoon stories, one time I was walking my dog around my neighborhood and I saw a raccoon jump out of a trash can.
