I really enjoyed Tallahassee, hope you enjoy the video. Yesterday explored Panama City Beach, and staying in Fort Walton Beach, then tomorrow off to Ocala area ✌️
I was just recently researching Tallahassee and Ocala. 🤔
Did you stop by Rosemary, Alys or Seaside?
@@Peonies925 passed through all these places yesterday but I’ll be exploring them further today
@@BajanPana so far don’t have anything bad to say about Tallahassee. Ocala is next
@@MichaelBordenaro 👍🏻 Great! I would hate for you to be in the Panhandle and miss some of its nicer areas/towns.😁
If you're going to drive along the coast on US-98, there are two very small charming cities of Apalachicola and Port St. Joe. If you're going along I-10, there is Falling Waters State Park, which has a 70 foot tall waterfall. Also, in Marianna, there are caves you can tour inside at Florida Caverns State Park.
Yes, do the caves
Not planning on doing the coast south east of Panama City. Heading to Ocala and Gainesville next. Otherwise it would just take me too long to get back home I appreciate the suggestion for next time though
I really like Port St Joe and Mexico Beach.. was devastated after the hurricane thou… don’t know to what extent it’s come back …
When I think of Marianna I can’t help but remember the reform school Florida School for Boys, saw a documentary recently were they interviewed a few men that were tortured beyond belief… and no one stopped it
Throughout its 111-year history, the school gained a reputation for abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and even murder of students by staff. Despite periodic investigations, changes of leadership, and promises to improve, the allegations of cruelty and abuse continued.
Nice !
I lived in Tallahassee for about 16 months while in graduate school, and I really loved the southern nature aspect of the city. Also, there is a beach close by, and it does offer excitement for college sports fans.
Looks absolutely gorgeous, it's just my type of place - lots of woods and TREES and I seen some lakes there. I know there's a gorgeous beach around 30 miles away .... St George's? I wish I lived there.
The coast along here’s really lovely, natural & remote, beaches much quieter. You might get sand fly bites (painful), but hardly any mosquito issues for some reason.
Love going up into the pan handle to make me feel like I'm back in north america. real trees. hills. shade. Great stuff.
I like it up there too
Well Mexico is "North America" too so you may want to alter your North American misconceptions
Unless you grew up in SoFL/ the Caribbean, yeah, it’s does feel normal, familiar, homey again.
Such beautiful scenery! Thank you for these vids you are doing, it's pretty cool to see different parts of Florida, and get your take on them.
Yes I really enjoyed my time at that park it was gorgeous! Lots more to come 😊
What I think makes Florida, and any state for that matter, so interesting is its diversity of landscapes and scenery. And what sets it apart from almost everywhere else in the country is, you can bring a bottle of water with you and enjoy all the different aspects of the state 12 months a year. I never thought much of Tallahassee but I'd definitely visit after watching this.
I agree and I am pleasantly surprised by my findings so far. Lots more to Florida than even I previously thought and have so much to report!
It’s great that you explored Tallahassee Florida I hope you enjoyed
Yes I enjoyed it very much everybody was super nice and it was a pleasant place to be
It is more like the deep South compared to most of the rest of Florida.
Glad you made it there....I highly recommend it. It feels like a big town and it's the most "southern" city in Florida I've been to. Lots of Spanish moss...so beautiful!
Doesn't feel like a big town. The airport is below average.
Yes I enjoyed it a lot. I may even go back one day just to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. And I’ll make sure to do it again when there’s no school in session LOL
I look forward to more videos from your road trip. It’s nice to see a different part of the world, especially where it’s more green. Keep up the great work Michael! You are helping more people than you know 😃
Thanks a lot Julia I really enjoy making these videos and it’s very pleasing to know it’s helping so many people😊
Amazing. Glad to see you enjoyed the city. I’ve lived here 22 years and it gets a bad rap from locals and south fl transplants. Thanks for sharing a light!
Dar
Definitely enjoyed my time there 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Tallahassee! You summed it up pretty well, laid back, southern charm and lots of outdoor spaces. We like to think of it as the natural side of Florida. If you ever do make it back, check out the Railroad Square Art District and make sure you plan some time to go kayaking.
What a beautiful park and pretty tree lined streets, shows there are different options when considering a move to FL
Absolutely doesn’t have to be million dollar mansions and beach if you don’t want it to be
@@MichaelBordenaro yep even noticeable fall colors in North Fl... especially Tally and inland panhandle areas.
@@MichaelBordenaro Keep in mind AVG Mid Dec - mid Feb low temperatures are in the upper 30's in Tally...as low as 36 in other upper inland PANHANDLE towns like Crestview and DeFuniak Springs....both just south of Alabama line.
In Tally you will come across a mixture of giant Oak Trees, Pine Trees, Maple Trees and Camphor Trees. Every once in a while you may spot a Palm Tree but overall they struggle in the winter cold. It seems the authorities are big here on trees and nature. The only problem with the trees is that you don't know where they begin and where the homes end.
Sabal Palmettos (aka Cabbage Palms) are native & can tolerate subfreezing temps just fine. A few others as well, but nothing like in Central & South FL.
I'm from here so I'm partial. It's quiet ( away from the schools ) and it's artsy and governy. LOL. I cannot say real estate prices are "cheaper" than central or south Florida. With covid, inventory is so low now that prices are goofy high. Tallahassee also has finite amount of houses for sale at any given time, folks who want them ( because of jobs and educational opportunities ) will pay whatever they cost. We were so lucky, we found a foreclosure near Maclay ( yay ) and at retirement age we are finally living the lower crime dream we worked so long for.
I appreciate your insight as a long time local. I was checking house prices in the area near the park and they can get pretty expensive, but I do notice you get a lot more house for your money here than in many other areas of FL. So glad you are living a nice life now, happy for you😀
@@MichaelBordenaro Thank You.
I will be in Panama City Beach from the 9th to the 12th, then I'm making the journey down to Sanibel Island to see why it was named by Southern Living magazine as the best beach town 2021.. Tallahassee looks really laid back. Good job!
Nice I hope you enjoy your trip!
3 of my kids went to college in Tally (getting ready to move my 4th down in a few weeks) . I've come to really love this charming town. Very, very friendly, I love the old architecture, lots of historical brick homes/buildings and moss trees line the streets. You have a very college town feel near the campuses , but just a little beyond are some very modern, clean upper class neighborhoods. As big as it is - it has a very cozy - small town feel. Tons of shopping - an hours drive to some very nice beaches.Of course I worried with my first kid moving there from Central FL concerning safety (being a city and all) but, like I said I've really come to love it!!!! ( I just love Tallahassee! ) can I say it enough! :)
I really enjoyed my time there too! Lots to love about Tallahassee 😀
Sounds like the part of Florida for me ☺️
Another great video!!
Wow that’s great I don’t think I’ve seen anybody in the comments yet saying they wanted to move to Tallahassee glad I could help you with that
My hometown!! Glad you enjoyed your visit.
I sure did! Happy everyone was so nice😊
Thanks again Michael for sharing another excellent review, Best Regards to both of you.
My pleasure Peter the trip has been a blast so far!
You are right. Virtually no palm trees in Tallahassee. We have many bike trails and walking trails. A lot of canopy roads. Great parks for children. Pretty relaxing overall. It’s not all about beaches and amusement parks in FL.
Totally got that same feeling about Tallahassee. I see others don’t like it in the comments but it is a pretty peaceful place to live it seems
Beaches and amusement parks are what constitutes a bulk of the economy in Florida.
Love that turquoise water in the pond!
I know it was so pretty
Love this video. Thank you! It looks beautiful and I would love living there for the R&R.
Thank you! I think it’s a great spot to get some R&R
Another hit. You are right on about Tallahassee looking like DC, my home town, with those leafy trees that look like oak trees. Never thought there was that kind of shade in Florida, the sunshine state! Nice place for R&R and taking in the quiet vibes and history. We are doomed to repeat the same mistakes when we don't know history. You connect with nature always on your walks in Miami. I appreciate your narration of what you see. I will see this town thanks to you, some day. I love history of each place I visit. Some of the best places are not the huge tourist attractions. That was way cool for what it was. A nice contrast to what we think Florida is, all vibrant, crowded, noisy, and palm trees. Variety and differences really can spice things up.
Absolutely I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed being in Tallahassee and the fact that it’s not a huge tourist hotspot I think also makes it even more enjoyable to visit. Highly recommend👍
Tallahassean here. Those trees are indeed oaks and the really big ones that have branches going to the ground are live oaks. They are massive and can live hundreds of years. Tallahassee has long been designated as a Tree CIty USA.
@@gulfgal98 Thanks for the confirmation Nancy, your city seems very attractive, I will have to visit to see the trees. Take care.
Very nice!! A beach I recommend on the gulf is Pine Island Beach, it’s in the Spring Hill/weeki wachee area about an hour north of Tampa, and it’s absolutely beautiful!! You will catch the best sunsets there!!
Yes, a very nice beach. The underwater mermaid show, though very commercial, at Weeki-Watchi is fun, as well.
Thanks for the tip I’ll probably be down that way later in the week
That park looks so beautiful!
It was absolutely gorgeous I wish I could go there all the time lol
I looked it up, as I must have heard it wrong, so I listened to the opening again, and you said Cascade Park, which I then found. Was there a waterfall there to give it its name?
School isn't in session, so that's why the traffic isn't as bad.
You’re right didn’t think about that. I imagine it’s probably worse when it is
Traffic isn't bad in general. Certain streets are more congested during school time but they can be avoided if you dont want heavy traffic. Most of the time driving is easy on average, its about ten to thirty minutes to get from one side of town to the other. If you find that stressful, then please dont go to Miami or Orlando.
I'm from Tallahassee and used to think the traffic was bad but when I moved to Tampa I said I will never complain about the traffic in Tallahassee again lol
@@allencollins9951 Haha yes I agree especially coming from Miami
I should add that even though Tallahassee does nothing for me personally the weather there in Spring and Fall is ranked as the best for Florida in regards to least heat and humidity
Yes the humidity was very low forgot to mention that in the video
Thank you, I am planning on moving from Ohio to Florida in November of 2022, for a number of reasons one of them is to be closer to my aging parents, and other family members, as well as my own health. I did make contact with an organization that does the same line of work I do in Ohio and they said my timing was impeccable because they have someone retiring and are excited to meet me...so hopefully that will still be the case when I arrive. I was looking at Tallahassee, I watched several videos that discouraged people, but from what I am seeing it really sounds like the perfect city for me. I will be turning 60 in December, and I realize it is a college town full of young people, but I am okay with that.
Thanks for watching Cynthia! I enjoyed my time there. And its spread out enough where you can get peace and quiet anytime you want it
Don't. Florida sucks. Trashy overrun state now.
Good for you. So did you make the move?
@@justynjonn No. I ended up getting a great job and decided to stay in Ohio.
Go to St. Marks Refuge....about 20 miles from Tallahassee.... beautiful beach scenery there.....
Next time, already in Ocala
thank you so much for this nice video. I felt like I travelled there. keep the wonderful job.
My pleasure it was a joy to make it😊
Lets All wish Michael a Happy Bday today!!!!
Thank you very much Criss!! Can’t believe you remembered man that’s so cool of you really appreciate it😄
@@MichaelBordenaro Happy birthday!!!
Thank you Laura!!
Great Video.....love these trips, exactly what I was looking at doing so pretty excited actually to view the upcoming videos of Destin and the surrounding beach towns there!
Just spent the last couple days exploring the Destin area. Although I won’t be putting out the videos on those until I’m back in Miami but they will be coming👌
Awesome Vid man! Tally is truly an oddity in Florida. Would love to hear your thoughts on Flagler Beach
Thank you sal I surely enjoyed it! I have a similar video coming for Flagler Beach but did not enjoy it as much as Tallahassee
Wow had no idea, it looks like a totally different Florida..very cool😊
It really is I pretty much forgot I was in Florida LOL
Definitely seems to have that southern vibe. Looks amazing and love that peacefulness. Can't wait to see what the downtown looks like. Will you be checking out Pensacola downtown? Thanks for the info!!!
It sure does very peaceful here. I’ll be doing a video or maybe a few videos on the Destin area in general. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to Pensacola and the weathers not too good up here so I’ll probably be heading back to Gainesville Ocala area next
When I moved here I was surprised to find out we have a Frank Lloyd Wright house ("Spring House"). And Wakulla Springs is a nice little day trip, where you can see manatees in the wild.
That is a nice surprise! Sounds like you enjoy living in Tallahassee I know I enjoyed my visit
Beautiful footage! It reminds me of a town from up North like you’ve mentioned. And totally love a picnic in a place like that, lol. Looking forward to seeing more of this adventure!
Yes I almost forgot I was in Florida at this park Ralphie very different from the rest of the state really the whole city actually
@@MichaelBordenaro LOL! Ditto! Thank you for showing! Never knew a town in Florida would look like that! 👍🏾
@@TheRalphie2020 Me neither actually
I watched several of your videos and I’m venturing into the Air B&B business now . Good advice
Oh nice, are you doing rental arbitrage or buying your property? Glad I could help!
@@MichaelBordenaro rental, going to turn one of my apartment buildings into an Airbnb once I get these tenants out , but it’s so hard to remove tenants in NY 😩
@@RealMrMarcelle hopefully you’ll be able to get them out soon and get your business on a roll
P.S. my nephew from Tampa just started school at FSU, and loves it!
Wow very nice place !
I thought so too
As a long time Tallahassean, thank you for this very nice video of our fair city. Tallahassee has its issues, but overall, it is a nice place to raise a family. The big thing is the natural beauty of this area. There are a lot of outdoor recreation opportunities here, like running, walking, cycling, etc along with a very active recreation dept. We do not have the beaches or theme parks, but overall the quality of life is fairly good. When the students are here, things can get a little hectic driving wise, especially on home game weekends for FAMU or FSU. Thank you again for visiting Tallahassee and I hope the rest of your trip goes well.
My pleasure Nancy! I really did enjoy my time there and I think I still have one or 2 videos left to put out on Tallahassee, but now I am home and putting them out in order of the trip. I can see there are plenty of outdoor activities to do there and even though houses aren't "cheap" you do get a lot of house / land for your money there as well
Nice video, maybe sometime you should put, crystal river or lake in FL. on your to go list and swim w/the Manatee, something thats still on my list. Stay safe my friend and happy travels, cant wait to see your next video! I believe they are close to Ocala and Gainesville, Natural spring water where the temp of water never goes below 70 from what i remember.
Thanks a lot joda I was just in Ocala yesterday too bad I missed it. Next time. So glad you’re enjoying my content 😀
Love your videos, and keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
Watching this video, I realized that I really want to move there, it's the kind of place i would like to live in, my girlfriend and I could be spending our lives peacefully in that kind of place, great video bro
Awesome, glad to hear that! It is a pretty laid back place and can be very peaceful as long as you don't live right in the city👍
I wish you had driven on some of the canopy roads in Tally. Amazing! You could have also toured the Florida State University campus. Also, you can reach the coast in 45 minutes from Tallahassee but you can also go see the Mariana Caverns or Blue Springs or many other day trip destinations close to the city. I went to school at Florida State University and stayed in Tallahassee for a few years before moving to Atlanta.
I would definitely go back to this area again in the future so maybe next time
Does not look like the typical Florida landscape that comes to mind, water, sand, palm trees 🌴
Not at all it’s really not tropical in my opinion. Even the humidity was low.
Famu highest of the 7 hills. Beach 30min away
Im seeing more palm trees get planted each year. I doubt it’ll be like south Florida because here they don’t care about trying to make the city look nice and presentable for visitors. They only care about college students and the old people that keep things the away it is.
More like Georgia than Florida
@@1wayDrell is that true? i love palm trees are they planting them?
Tally is South Georgia more than Florida really. More "Southern" and friendly to my mind. Yeah, students aren't there like usual because of Covid otherwise you'd see more traffic. You are within easy driving range of a lot of natural beauty. Love the live oak trees. Tallahassee's biggest issue for me is summer is brutal -- you aren't getting those Gulf Stream breezes like in South Florida.
Huh? You get a Gulf breeze in Tallahassee. Also, it rains more here in the summer than it does in South FL so that cools it down tremendously. I have lived in both Tallahassee and Miami. IMO the heat is way more brutal in Miami because it's in the tropics and the humidity makes it feel like hell on earth. That and it's never ending unrelentless heat that lasts 9 months. No thank you. Tallahassee's biggest issue is the airport here flat out sucks.
@@thedirtybubble9613 In regards to your "Huh?" -- I said "Gulfstream" not Gulf. But of course Tallahassee is near neither. And I was referring to a few months of the year -- Tallahassee is fantastic in other seasons imo. Anyway, I have lived in Tallahassee as well as West Palm Beach and we can disagree.
I can see that to me I even forgot I was in Florida being there. It was pretty warm during the days but it wasn’t really humid like we get in South Florida
@@landlinesandpercolators8822 Yeah, I know you said the Gulfstream. I was referring to the Gulf breeze, which you do get in Tallahassee in the summer months. Apalachicola Bay is 35 miles to the south and I mean technically that is the Gulf. I will take 2 months of intense rain and heat over 10 months of hell on earth tropical heat waves.
@@MichaelBordenaro warm and dry. Believe me, the humidity makes everything feel worse. It was 89 here today and that's actually "hot" to the natives here when I used to live in Miami and had to suffer through endless months of 90+ weather with 100% humidity.
I was surprised of how much I liked Tallahassee after visiting. Love the videos, keep up the great content. Also,check out Delray Beach Market and that whole area if you haven’t already. I think you’ll like it. 👌🏾
Me too! Already passed Delray but its close enough to home where I can go there for a day another time 👍
Tallahassee is pretty nice compared to the rest of the US. The state capital is cool to visit. I would also check the Florida State University campus, especially their football stadium. I would much rather live on the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, but it is worth visiting.
I think so too and the people there were very friendly. I took some footage at FSU which I’ll be putting in some of the videos!
It’s calm traffic now. When the students return, the traffic changes 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Makes total sense, didn't occur to me at first 😄
walkulla springs has beaches, st marks, aligator point, shell point all of that is nearby. tallahassee is surrounded by cities of less than 10,000 people and was created with families in mind so it was never intended to be a party spot. and the musuem is open on weekends. you should have visited to see the animals and go ziplining. there are also pools to go to as well.
I was totally happy just ending up at the state park there and exploring the area since I’ve never been. It was refreshing to be in a place that wasn’t booming on the weekend👌 I would totally go back if I was in the area
@@MichaelBordenaroif you have a moment please do. The forgotten coast/ big bend region is full of hidden surprises.
@@MichaelBordenaro The more introverted one is (✔️), the more R&R needed in-between all the driving around in strange, new places. Tally does provide that. They also have a lot more upon recovery!
Im surprised how great the iPhone quality looks. I use a Samsung s10 for my videos and they turn out pretty darn good too. Still hoping for that TH-cam analytics video review after the trip! cheers man.
It is pretty impressive I think too! I actually don’t see myself ever using a real camera with how good the phones are getting and I always buy the best model available
Beautiful! I liked it a lot, not sure if I'd live there though.
I kind of feel the same way but it is nice to visit
@@MichaelBordenaro I agree. 👍🏻
I like Tallahassee .. very green…dense green. Like the university .. thankfully no damn beaches
I’ve traveled the entire state
Was recently in the Everglades
Ok to visit southern FL but you can have the traffic.. congestion.. tolls .. … and did I mention the congestion.. too many damn people .. phew
Yes its a totally different vibe up in Tallahassee😊
South Florida has more of the tropical atmosphere that I was seeking i like it better than northern Florida
That’s what I noticed, north Florida is less tropical
Nothing wrong with that!
It’s boring but cheaper
Illinois vibes in the capital of florida... nice city.... thanks for sharing 👍
I know how strange right! Wasn’t expecting that at all
check some medium houses for sale let us know ....of course while you guys have a wonderful road trip wish u guys a FUNNNN trip.
Yes I was driving by some houses and have some dash cam footage and I can put together a video on that when I get back to Miami👌
Ty for visiting Tally 😄
It was my pleasure, I enjoyed my time there 😊
I have a request brother. If u could get some drone shots of the area's of Florida u visit.
I would love too, but I don't have one yet, and I'll have to learn how to use one when I get it. Maybe one day
My hometown!
Nice!
As a resident of Tallahassee, north Florida is basically Georgie and alabama
There are still plenty of palm trees
Yes I did see some, but not many compared to other trees, just an observation
@@MichaelBordenaro gotcha. I'm gonna be moving there soon. And I've always had a fascination with palm trees. And your right, there definitely are not nearly as many as there are in south Florida.
@@TheThirdfish24 It’s not because people don’t like them, but the varieties that thrive in this colder climate are fewer.
The price of housing is insanely expensive specifically in the Southwood area!! Wondering why it’s super expensive?
I did drive by some neighborhoods there, and some houses are very big with big yards around the 400K mark
It's because houses here are price as capital assets. You can always rent to students or to politicians. Houses aren't a place to live, they are an asset to generate cash.
Thank you
It's a great place to live but don't tell everyone!
Unless you’re great, too…Being creative, educated, peaceful, productive & a decent, nice person doesn’t hurt 😉
Hmm I’ve been through Tallahassee a few times driving back and forth from Texas before I moved. We stopped over and I guess didn’t register with us Bc it felt like home not Florida lol. So ya it’s the anti Florida
I could easily see how it loses its appeal if it reminds you too much of where you're trying to get a way from 😄
Visited a few weeks ago, a short stay. Would like to return!
No Palm trees. That is the beauty of North Florida.
I spotted some but just not that many
Hey, the state palm tree *thrives* here! It’s the Sabal palm. And about a dozen others will grow here, too, but when the temps hit the teens & 20’s, they can suffer 🥶😩
I live here. I make videos on Tallahassee. Great video hun thanks for sharing 🤗
Thanks for watching, I enjoyed your town 😊
Nice!!!!🙌😉
Would you say sunny isles is a good spot to raise a family ?
It can be. They have lots of playgrounds for kids and supposedly the schools are nice and then obviously you got the beach too so probably not too bad
Can you do a vlog about Jacksonville ?
Maybe one day once I visit there
Never been there! Nice to get a taste of what it’s like there. I remember speaking with someone from Tallahassee and he had a very Southern accent. Did you find that there too?
You get a mix of accents. People from up north too.
@@thedirtybubble9613 ah cool!
Yes you do you have people here with the southern accent not everyone but some and it definitely has the southern atmosphere and that wonderful southern hospitality. Everyone was very nice😀
Yep that was my finding too
Yes, Tallahassee has 4 seasons...🍂
In the Southern style: deep freezes/ snow are rare, winter’s mild, gardens can start blooming in January.
@@Cycology_Major Kinda...
@@gabrielleangelica1977 Haha, well there’s climate and there’s weather- they mean different things & some seasons get weird fluctuations but in general stay the same
@@Cycology_Major Yes, I used to live in Clearwater. Now I'm in NYC. Florida and New York ain't what they used to be, unfortunately.
@@gabrielleangelica1977 I’ve lived in 11 states, from smaller towns to major US cities. So, which of them have “stayed the same”…
…
…
N o n e! You know what they say: Change is the only constant
I'm one of those people who said skip tallahassee but idk it does look nice. I'm also a gator grad so I'm biased! You should check out gainesville when you go to ocala!
Ha ha well I figured it’s right on the way to Panama City and Destin so I stopped and don’t regret it. I’ll definitely be checking out the Gainesville/Ocala area next👌
I hear you! I went to Michigan and we always refer to MSU's home city as East Landfill! When I went to the 1996 UF-FSU game in Tallahassee, I remember seeing some Gator fans, tailgating, with a sign that read "Gators seeking intelligent life in Tallahassee". FSU handed those Gators their only loss of the year that game.
Yes, Gainesville....very cool town. Granted, not on the coast, but he should check it out tool
@@michelebryan7353 Most college towns are interesting and enjoyable - including Gainesville.
It reminded me of Georgia so I figured better to just live in the mountain portion of Georgia for that lifestyle. Ouch I’ll say on behalf of poor Flagler beach
What's wrong with Flaglar beach?
@@soniadowney7427 beach often cloudy and overcast, no surfing, minimal scenic sights or nightlife but it’s nice that it’s not crowded or overrun with traffic, congestion and lack of parking
My first impressions of Flagler Beach weren’t great and I will make a video on it LOL
Don’t worry I’ll make a video on it
Totally agree with your analysis Jonah
Wait till the students come back
wowww super serenity wowwww
Totally!!
What's wrong with Flagler Beach? One of the best beach towns on the Atlantic coast of Florida IMO.
I did not think so at all. And I passed through every beach town from Miami all the way up to Saint Augustine. I’ll be talking about it
@@MichaelBordenaro you skipped Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach?
@@thedirtybubble9613 Unfortunately yes. Its easier for me to get up there from Miami VS the panhandle, so made panhandle a priority this time around
I am so glad you are finally in the panhandle and making exciting and enjoyable discoveries! Yea, Michael! Also, those trees are Spanish Moss.
Me too it’s refreshing to see new things especially in Florida. Thanks for the name of the tree although I saw that moss growing on some palm trees too
Actually, they are oak trees with Spanish Moss on them, as well as some other trees, even some deciduous, that are not found further south in Florida.
@@jdhjimbo Thank you, Jim. I knew as I was typing it, that I was only partially correct. The Spanish moss hanging off of the trees can spread. I remember my dad brought some Spanish Moss back to his two huge oak trees in his front yard and put it on the trees, trying to get it to "take." However, he brought the Spanish Moss over from the coastal town of Charleston, SC, and we lived further inland in SC, so the climate didn't work for the Spanish Moss to spread.
@@Jeannified This epiphyte (it’s neither moss nor Spanish) is really particular. It wants a certain amount of airflow, moisture & temp. Yet it grows all the way up into Va. & even Ark. I love it & would myself keep trying to grow it if possible 🤞
@@TeutonicTribe Thanks for that info. I will look that up. Sounds very interesting. We will continue to try to grow it. 🙂
It’s not as tropical as South Florida
It’s not tropical at all really it wasn’t even that humid either. The days were pretty warm but cooled off nicely at night time
Welcome to Tally
Thanks Miles!
if there are less Floridians per square meter, than it has to be better
Also, it's really southern Georgia, if you catch my meaning.
That's true. 🤣
Would this be a good city for a 30-year-old? In terms of jobs, dating, etc.
Potentially. It probably wouldn't be my first choice, but I think it wouldn't hurt to try it out!
Thank you!!!
How are house prices and crime rates?
I really didn't like Tallahassee that much when I was there...I mean it was ok but it kind of reminded me of Charlottesville,Va ...where I moved to after leaving Long Island and I really HATED Charlottesville... typical college town feel (even though you might not have picked up on that vibe,with COVD and all...like you...I prefer the beach lifestyle...sand...sea...and Sun...enjoy your journey!
You hated Charlottesville? I think UVA is one of the most gorgeous college campuses in USA, and the nearby mountains and wineries are nice, too. No lakes and no ocean are the drawbacks.
I just appreciated it for what it was and like that there was lower humidity and lots of nature and I can always appreciate nature. But it’s definitely not the typical Florida lifestyle I’m used to LOL
I drove thru Tallahassee on I 10 and speed limit is 70 and capital circle exits is from exits 196 to 203.
I think Tallahassee is nicer than people give it credit for. Not a bad place to spend a weekend
please make one video on jacksonville city?plsssssssss
Next time unfortunately I couldn’t make it to Jacksonville this time
@@MichaelBordenaro ok
is that a Spring in that park?
What townships were you in?
I did some exploring just all around town really
They're called oak trees there's pecan trees pine trees
Live Oaks are the backbone of the entire S/ SE down to Miami. They hold up really well over the centuries & esp. stay solid in hurricanes. But Tally has a gazillion varieties & the city loves its trees🌴🌳🍂
@@Cycology_Major Like the rest of The South, nature, horticulture’s more respected & cultivated here than as just a decorative accessory to development? lol
to the ppl who don't know Tallahassee is the capital of Florida
and they call it Tally sometime
I've been here for 15 years. The only good thing about the summer is the lack of students, the humidity and heat here will get to ya.
I hear you but we got that humidity and heat down in Miami too probably worse than Tallahassee
@@MichaelBordenaro nothing is worse than spending a summer in Miami.
@@thedirtybubble9613 Haha, you don't have to tell me twice! Spent 13 of them here so far 😄
Go swimming. Youre in Florida. There's always a spring, beach or river nearby. Tallahassee also has swimming pools and allow private pools so enjoy the water.
Most guys do suffer more in warmer climates, unfortunately. I’m a chick who finds it delightful here, haha, (but I don’t have to wear a suit to work either)… the typical clouds, northerly latitude & heavy tree cover keep it way more temperate than SoFL.

There's a 26% poverty rate there what were the people like? Friendly or standoffish?
That is one thing I did not mention in this video but everybody we encountered in Tallahassee was extremely friendly lots of southern hospitality there
You get a mix of both.
Most are friendly. The poverty rate is really not greater than any other city of the same size. Trying to compare North Florida, which mostly lives off the land to South or Central Florida who feed off of tourism and theme parks was where those people who made that conclusion made a grave error. North Florida loves and welcomes tourists but are more about conservation and historical preservation.
@@123terricam The poverty rate is 28% which is higher than Montgomery, AL.
@@thedirtybubble9613 Montgomery is larger than tallahassee. So 28 percent of tallahassee is less than Montgomery. BTW Montgomery has a 32 percent poverty rate. Percentages are like that. They dont really give accuracy for that reason. Yes poverty is a issue everywhere but its not anything more than any other city of equal size for tallahassee.
For anyone saying there's nothing to do in Tallahasse, its not the city that's the problem, you're just boring asf.
Agreed! I enjoyed my time there
It's the armpit of Florida. Kinda hidden away and if you get too close your nose will tell you it's not a place you want to stay too long.
Too close to WHAT ?? What would want to prevent me to stay ?? I have heard 90% positive things about Tallahadsee. Yes there are a few areas where you probably do not want to hang out. I googled the entire neighborhood before I bought this house. Clean looking working class. The home inspector said....
Good zip code,nice quiet neighborhood. I am moving ! This is my last one way ticket, I'm 61,might want to work part time if I can find something I like. Nights, weekends Behavioral or Ambulatory are my preferred work days.See ya soon.
Your nose? What do you mean?
Easy enough to fire off insults here w/o offering any backup to them. I spent a very comfortable summer here lately & if small historical cities set amongst gorgeous nature, recreation, & culture is your thing, this could be it. Def some violent hoods & all that; but you can avoid it, too (or try, IDK, snowy Vermont??)
@Cycology_Major I've lived here since the late 80s. The town has never changed. The City Commission is run incompetently. And the police department and local sheriff's office believe they own the town, and will bounce your face off the payment any chance they get. I've worked with both. I've seen it. It might look nice to outsiders, but it's a toxic dump behind the facade.
@@3MinutesToKill I can appreciate what you’re getting at, too - & that you replied. I’ve lived in 11 states from New England & several inbetween down to SoFL, Dallas to Houston, Chicago burbs… Generally, the whole of US govt & business is always doing some f**kery of sorts. And the longer you stay in one place, the more it’s in your face.
I just hate winters, vast urban sprawls, & deeply redneck towns. I’ve seen worse but if you know better cities…? 😉
Yes, Florida is sooooooo flat! Haha
Not in Tallahassee LOL
Only where tourists & snowbirds go, the hang-down part bahaha 😂
West Palm Beach has hills
Nothing like Tallahassee, have been to WPB many times. Tallahassee has way more rolling hills and doesn't even feel like FL in that sense
Yeah your hills are literally trash mounds.
Up and down the I95 overpasses lol
You went to the only places worth going to. I wish i didn't have to live in this horrible city :-(
Oh no that sounds so sad!
Lol you haven't been out much
Then why won't you move ?? I came from a 1500 people village in Germany 40 yrs ago to Miami. I think I will like a slower pace,won't miss the almost daily Shootings in Miami for sure ! I'm 61, I want to work part time and live in PEACE ....I figured Tally is big enough,should have work for us.Tally has a few Hospitals. I'm a nurse hope to work
nights/weekends only. See ya soon.
Will shop at pops attic for sure !
There’s always Miami & Atlanta ⬅️⬅️⬅️
