The Wiregrass Area (not really sure why it's called that)
The Tri-States Area (so close to where Alabama/Florida/Georgia borders together)
Others that I've heard from particular ppl:
"LA"= Lower Alabama
"UCLA"= Ugliest Corner of Lower Alabama (LOL)

Haha =p a Breezer checkin in...
Yep, "LA" = Lower Alabama for the Panhandle of FL!
Yea my hometown Gulf Breeze, FL is about like 45 min from AL in the northwest corner of FL.
"GB" - Gossip Breeze (because we are such a small beach town, EVERYONE knows EVERYONE's biz)
"Dead Lands" - b/c a lot of pple in my town are retired lol
"The REAL O.C." - hahaha, this is what the newer kids at Gulf Breeze High call us now...plus our high school is known as "THE high school where the students' parking lot looks better than the teachers' parking lot" b/c like 75% of the student's parking lot is filled with BMWs... (and no I didn't drive a BMW, I was one of those poor kids driving a "cheap" Corolla lol)
"Lawyer Land" - b/c like 1/2 of the Breezers I went to HS with are from lawyer families, so it's this constant, "u touch a single hair of mine, & MY dad's law firm will UP ur dad's law firm...etc" it's the most ridiculous thing ever...that is prolly the reason why, during all my years in HS, I only saw ONE fight lol...& it was my jr yr & it was between two freshmen girls pullin each other's hair out...not exactly a fight... but that was the closest thing to it.
"The World's Whitest Beaches" - ummm that phrase is on the obnoxiously HUGE sign heading over the beach (and I do agree that our beaches are white, like blinding white too when it's sunny & bright)...FL's Gulf Coast (where my town is on facing the Gulf of Mexico) is the supposedly the whitest b/c our "sand" isn't sand but it's actually coral broken down over like a bizillion years or so.. ohh and our water is totally this amazing sparkling clear emeraldish color
"The International Center of UFO Sightings" - believe me, in all my 18 yrs living in GB, I have NEVER seen a UFO...but back in the 1980's, there were reported UFO sightings/occurances in my town and it was documented and seen MORE than any other place on Earth...
