Regardless if you're from Palm Beach, Boca, Miami, or Ft. Lauderdale (like me!), you call South Florida home. There's no place else like it anywhere in the world. Like any other region, there are certain nuances you understand if you're a local. We SoFlo locals know what makes us, us!
1. The beach is never more than 10 minutes away.
Time to soak up the sun with my toes in the sand!
2. Winter doesn't exist.
3. The off-season is everything.
Being in-season is eye-roll inducing, especially because food and gas prices skyrocket to exorbitant prices. You can spot tourists and snowbirds from a mile away, too.
4. The weather never stays the same for long
Don't like the weather? Stick around, it'll change.
5. Good drivers? What are those?
6. Christmas in the sand.
7. Golf courses surround every little suburb.
8. Alligators don't phase you.
9. Publix makes life worth living.
10. Family portraits and senior pictures are taken at the beach.
Why not use what's in our backyard to our advantage?
11. Waterways take priority over roadways.
Is the drawbridge up again? Oh HELL no...
12. When friends or family come to visit, they never understand that the sun is more powerful because you're closer to the equator.
Sun-poisoning party!
13. Old people run the neighborhood.
Perks: You get to smell amazing cooking when you live next to an Italian grandma
Cons: You see old-man thongs every time you go to the beach
14. LaSpada's Hoagies
Need I say more?
15.Humidity is your sworn enemy.
16. Lilly is Life!
We've got bragging rights to true prep iconography!
17. We're so grateful to call SoFlo home.
Being a local means everything, especially when you have an amazing place as your stomping grounds.
