    I have been in CenFlo coming up on 4 years this coming October moving all the way from frozen tundra Wisconsin and I haven't looked back since. I moved to Kissimmee first and Orlando afterward was easily the best decision I could have ever made and I have never thought about moving back up to the Midwest and I never will again. Florida is the way of life. Florida is life.
    I-4 and it's 60MPH slow speed limit causing continuous traffic congestion 7 days a week from Universal and Kirkland + Sand Lake Road and International Drive through Polk County in both directions is nerve-racking, but if you can put up with that, you'll be an official Floridian/Central Floridian.
