Anything between Tampa and Miami is retiree "Lizard Farms" or uninhabitable swamp.  Miami is less South Florida and more of North Cuba.

also, in 1956 the population of areas like Miami Dade were about 1/5 the size they are now...probably kinda hot.  

Glad someone started a thread about this...seeing as it is the only way ECU fans seem to be able to make fun of USF.

Yep. Below Naples is the Everglades. Fort Myers and Naples are the end of the line on the west coast.
