Yeah. I used to live up in Chieftan and thought of Ocala as "the big city" when it was just a Methodist Church and a stop sign. We also lived near Ft. Walton for a couple years. My dad referred to the local politicos as "The dumbest people I've ever met. Vindictive, too." (The real quote isn't suitable for mixed company, but that's a close approximation.)
So... way to stay on brand, Florida.
