The State of.... South Florida??

Maybe Georgia can annex North FL and leave us alone here in Tennessee. (The GA state legislature wants to move the TN/GA line to include part of a lake to help ease their water shortage.)

Charlie Crisp is acting like this dude is crazy, but he's really crazy like a fox! I've been saying that there needs to be a North Florida and a South Florida for at least 10 years now. I always had the dividing line being somewhere between Ocala and Orlando. North Florida, however, needs to be its own state and not connected to Alabama or Georgia, since those other two states will drag us down.

Can we move that line a little further south??? Maybe to Tampa?

Having a been born and raised a Florida girl, I can honestly say there are three different parts of the great State of Florida, South, Mid, and North.

I would say South Florida would stop in the middle of the state south of the Polk County line. Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Daytona are very much their own mid-state culture.
North Florida would be Ocala northward. Having gone to school in Jacksonville, I can honestly say it is more like Southern Georgia than Florida.

I am vaguely remembering from my Florida history class that West Florida used to be its own country/ republic that stretched from Tallahassee to Mobile during the 1700s....

That's crazy.
