As a retired government employee, I was compelled to travel and live in places across the US! I would say Gainesville, Florida was my best experience!!! Thanks for sharing 👍
I’m old enough to be your Grandmother, and was born and raised here too. Too bad you missed Louis’ Lunch, Piccadilly Cafeteria. Hippodrome used to be the main Post Office. The Segal building used to house the Museum and a movie theater. The duck pond had a lot of ducks, and was beautiful dressed up at Christmas. It is wonderful that the beautiful old homes are renovated to Bed and Breakfasts❤️ My Grandmother, Mother and Aunt worked at JJ FINLEY elementary as cooks, and I was actually named after the head of the lunchroom Margaret Watkins. We had the best meals, actually made from scratch❤️. Then there was Robinsons Grocery, where Mr Robinson always pulled out one of the jars of penny candy, to let us have some. Gainesville is an awesome place, nice to see you think so too! Take care❤️
I really miss that plaza that was on the corner of 13th and university that had the pizza place and hair salon 😭 both were my favorite thing on the weekend
I lived in Gainesville FL for 18 years until 2 years ago. I agree with this video. But its just become so overcrowded, no one can drive...the list goes on. But the list for why I miss G'ville is long too. Thanks for your video. It made me a bit home sick. ♥
I am so glad my daughter is moving there for graduate school. I hope she loves it. I lived in Florida for two years when I was young and I was so homesick for Tennessee, my momma really. And I’m going to be visiting her often. So I might see you at Publix. God bless, Leslye
Im a GHS 1992 graduate...still proud of my hometown. Seen its changes over the years. Lived there from 1989-2016 off an on...ALWAYS a Florida Gator and always love Gainesville! It launched my music career as well! DJ Spice...
Hi there! My husband and I moved here two years ago. We opened Pizzazz Piercing and Tattoo on N Main St. We adore this city. We're very grateful for our clients and how much Gainesville folks came out to support us.
Mac's drive thru and the Publix she was at are pretty much on the east side or at least the border. They are off Main Street and are sort of northeast of the Pleasant Street neighborhood.
Gainesville my second home I still prefer Hallandale beach Florida more just beautiful city with growing businesses and communities and a good nightlife.
I have lived in Florida for over 15 years and have visited about 100 different Publix and this is the most Ghetto looking Publix I have ever seen. 0:50...Looks more like a Winn Dixie.
It is a little different but not too bad. The plaza itself has seen better days. They even still have the Aprons samples unlike the Publix at the Esplanade. (That one has another Publix about a quarter mile away and they both seem entirelt different from each other.)
there is a guy that has been running around gainesville for decades. do you know who he is? he was very nice and would wave when I saw him back in the 90s.
Hey, I am here now and need to know about the springs that are closest and maybe a pool to swim in, and I would love to know about natural food restaurants.
Lmao @ 2:48!! That dude all over the Ville! Mans used to come into Best Buy all the time! Ive even seen him at publix just blastin music and rockin out. Dude got jumped a little bit ago for wearing a rag. Hope he's doing well.
Hi, im (20yo girl) visting a friend of mine at uf at the very beginning of january, what would u recommend? (Specially not having a car, and not being american lol) also for me to do while shes in class
Thanks! Good job. I wish it were longer. It looks like you drive a Subaru so you must be kind of smart LOL! This is a big question but if you could do a comparison between let’s say Jacksonville Saint Augustine Niceville Fort Lauderdale I’m guessing you would still prefer Gainesville but why other than the fact that it’s probably the most familiar to you? Is there a particularly big mosquito problem in Gainesville? What are the better and/or safer neighborhoods in Gainesville? Thanks!
EzE Eze there is a very big mosquito problem in gville in the summer we had hundreds and throughout the year there’s a bunch too. So many bugs it’s so shitty
You wish the video was longer? That's funny because she already put the whole damn city in the video. It ain't like there is much else to do in that backward as town then the few minutes of what she showed.
Damn girlie I love your video I was born in Gainesville in 89 I live in Keystone which obviously if you are from Gainesville you know it's about 30 minutes out great video though go Gators, and I agree the new traffic patterns and road work are horrible!!!! I'll share this video for yu also... keep it up and AGAIN GOOOOOOO GAAATTTOOORRSSS!!!!!!! CHOMP CHOMP 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
Nice video but one restaurant you missed because you probably don't remember it... but this one was one of the real back bone on the city ... MOM'S KITCHEN...
Awesome video! I only lived there for 3 years n it's a beautiful place. Its a shame that's it's going to shit. P.S. love that you had the dancing guy in the video, love that guy haha.
@@janedoe7205 it's gone to shit because it's loosing it's small town feel. The utility company GRU is criminal. The town is practically owned by the college. Without a degree it sucks to work there. They actually payed more for labor 10 years ago then they do today. Apartments/landlords try and screw you over and scam you.
Let me tell you 305 and 786 swear I raised my kids and they're not irrelevant. All the cities irrelevant! Gainesville is pretty but Gainesville is a college town too and some people don't want to live in a college town
When I think of Gainesville I think of Mama Lo's, Spectrum Disco, Sun Bank, Cafe Garden's, Down to Earth and the Granary, I am guessing you have no clue what those are. Maybe...just maybe you knew who Mama Lo (Lorine) was, since she was one of the most notorious, well respected and well loved figures in Gainesville That is the real Gainesville to me. 💗🙏🌺
I went to Glen springs elementary school in Gainesville Florida my teachers name is Ms Fletcher I went to littlewood elementary school in Gainesville Florida my teachers name is Ms piglet I went to Westwood middle school in Gainesville Florida my teachers name is Mr Reed and Ms martha model

Well done young lady!!! I use to be the Store Manager at Dillard's at the Oaks Mall back in 2004-2006, I miss that town and the community.
As a #407 area code myself, laughed at "the brutal" 😂
Wow, I never knew that Sonny's bbq was founded in Gainesville.
Sonnys is not so good anymore
@@LiveeyePhoto fax bruh they changed
@@LiveeyePhoto shut your mouth

It’s always a hit or miss with the ribs, sometimes they are perfect and sometimes they are to dry
Hi, I'm coming to Gainesville, UF in August from Mumbai, India.
Very excited. I hope I'll be welcomed. :)

My hometown!!! I may live in Georgia now but Gainesville will always be home forever. GO GATORS💙🧡🐊
That Sonny's order tells me you're a true Gainesville native.

I lived there 87-92, now live in Belleview in the country off 441, lol....loved G'ville
nice vid, wished there was more, lol
I’ve lived hear all my life and I love the new Gainesville
You only showed the west side of town, you should do a video of the east side of Gainesville. Now that's the real Gainesville.
Mac's drive thru and the Publix she was at are pretty much on the east side or at least the border. They are off Main Street and are sort of northeast of the Pleasant Street neighborhood.
Shit she had Raffy on there, she's certified Gainevillain
Born and raised in Gainesville I'm still here☺
Gainesville my second home I still prefer Hallandale beach Florida more just beautiful city with growing businesses and communities and a good nightlife.
This was very well put together!
you didnt even go outeast, thats awhole nother city and lifestyle entirely
This was such a great video, great narration and shots you gave us a very good insight about the city
I have lived in Florida for over 15 years and have visited about 100 different Publix and this is the most Ghetto looking Publix I have ever seen. 0:50...Looks more like a Winn Dixie.
Reminds me of some of the Bashas on the Rez back in AZ :D
Don’t worry There’s a lot nicer Publix’s in Gainesville
There is different Publix’s around Gainesville but that one is probably on the east side
It is a little different but not too bad. The plaza itself has seen better days. They even still have the Aprons samples unlike the Publix at the Esplanade. (That one has another Publix about a quarter mile away and they both seem entirelt different from each other.)
Must be Main Street Publix
there is a guy that has been running around gainesville for decades. do you know who he is? he was very nice and would wave when I saw him back in the 90s.
RAPPIN RALPH!!! I love it lmao
YESSS 😁😂
Damn I miss Gainesville a lot. I was there in summer 2016 for a month, it was also my first time I went to the US and I loved it a lot.
She did this this get a stamp of approval
I was born and raised in Gainesville and I moved to Dallas a few years ago and all I miss is Publix...Goodbye and good riddance
Hey, I am here now and need to know about the springs that are closest and maybe a pool to swim in, and I would love to know about natural food restaurants.
Love the video. Dead on accurate. Thank you.
Lol everybody know everybody here in gville 😭😭🤣🤣 so true…. All the work and shopping centers etc is not the real Gainesville. You ain’t lied at all
Cool to see Gainesville through your lens

Hi, im (20yo girl) visting a friend of mine at uf at the very beginning of january, what would u recommend? (Specially not having a car, and not being american lol) also for me to do while shes in class
Gainesville is the junk! I love this place! But you tried it with that Buchholtz shot... Eastside High School Rams today, tomorrow, forever! LOL!
I grew up in the brutal 407, now I live 1/2 mile from Mac’s 😃

Pretty much! Let us not forget MACS!
you disrespected me i’m about to move from the 305😂
like Disney World ruined Orlando....UF's steady growth is affecting this beautiful small town.
Love it. I will be moving there soon. Reminds me a lot of my hometown, Flagstaff Arizona
Well if you are used to living in a town as boring as Flagstaff AZ, then I am sure you will be all right moving to Gainsville Florida.
@@seanewing845 flag wasn't that boring. I think I'll manage
Nice video but one restaurant you missed because you probably don't remember it... but this one was one of the real back bone on the city ... MOM'S KITCHEN...
Just love your personality and character. Reminds me of myself lol
I'm a Gainesville Florida native
I know this is an old video but being from
Newyork and looking to move the Gainesville how is it for northerners moving to Gainesville
Area code 404 is where it’s at. It’s a little north of Gainesville.
Is gainsville a touristy place
Hey , quick question, I want to move from California to there, what are some regular jobs there is go to for most people? Thx
Why move from California.
Awesome video! I only lived there for 3 years n it's a beautiful place. Its a shame that's it's going to shit.
P.S. love that you had the dancing guy in the video, love that guy haha.
Whys it going to shit? Im moving there next year for college
@@janedoe7205 it's gone to shit because it's loosing it's small town feel.
The utility company GRU is criminal.

That didn’t feel like a whole video. It was an intro and then out of nowhere it ended. Is there a part 2?
Aye team buchholz for life
Wards! Red white and blue park lol by space walk and “shark teeth creek” Which is filthy now 😢
BRO THAT PUBLIX IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE
Born an raised I miss it just sad how it’s going now
Let me tell you 305 and 786 swear I raised my kids and they're not irrelevant.
All the cities irrelevant!
Gainesville is pretty but Gainesville is a college town too and some people don't want to live in a college town

Not at all like my hometown Jacksonville or like Miami where I've spent years working in.
People really sell gainesville short these days
I live in Gainesville so I know what its like and I'm a 10 year old.
