I am a native Miamian & have been living in the Ft. Lauderdale area for the past 3 years.
PM me for details about the area. Or, you can IM me @ kdg8or89.
No one who hasn't lived in this area can give you a fair representation of South Florida. I was born here, went to school here (except for 4 years @ UF), worked & played here.
Though I wouldn't call FL "THE" place to be, it's good for at least a few years!
