Discovering The Things You Didn't Know About South Florida May Make You Change Your Life

By Jony Mozen


People think so many things about Florida. It's the sunshine state. Oranges are its main crop. Alligators cross highways. Hurricanes visit regularly. People love to retire here. But there are things you didn't know about South Florida that you probably wished you did.

South Florida consists of cities like Miami. We all know the lure, beauty, and drama of Miami. Gorgeous beaches filled with hot bodies by day and lush clubs with Latin influences beckon by night. But Miami has a rich history. Throughout the years it has gone through its ups and downs, but the draw has always been strong. Here you can find most U. S. Corporations Latin headquarters because of the proximity to South America.

The population of Miami is mostly Hispanic and that population is mainly from Cuba. Here this culture reflects in the music, food, culture, and ambiance of the city and people. The buildings are bright and bold, the beats played in the clubs and on the street are Latin, and the fashion is for the rich, famous, and beautiful. The climate isn't the only thing that is hot here.

Boca Raton has a reputation as the end point for the elderly of the States. But this city is where Florida's only five star resort lies. The Boca Resort and Club started in the twenties by the Ritz Carlton hoteliers. The name was changed and in the late sixties two pink towers were added, but the dedication to class, elegance, and style never changed. That elegance is what directs the pulse of the city now and the people who live here are bearers of that beat.

Fort Lauderdale is known as the place for Spring Breakers to head to when the school lets out, that was then and this is now. Now these beaches are not filled with crazy kids but businesses and family looking for a lovely place to live. Along with its pristine beaches it is the perfect place for those with boats as it's called the Venice of America and has a very extensive canal system to explore. Many of the boats that travel those canals were built right there as yacht manufacturing is a big industry here.

Key West is a strange little part of this state. It's closer to Cuba than the mainland of Florida and perhaps that affords it the laid back attitude that people have found when visiting here. With so many tourists visiting, there has to be a draw. Perhaps it's the locals with their lovely shops, delicious eateries, and unending hospitality.

Magic has some play here as presidents have lived here. Even more amazing is writers like Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire here. And Ernest Hemingway found this location as the inspiration for books like To Have and Have Not and For Whom the Bell Tolls. There must be something in the water to inspire such creativity.

This land has ghosts of Spaniards, Indians, British and more running through the founding and growth of the Southern part of this state. The things you didn't know about South Florida can be learned if you find a place that you enjoy and decide to set down roots here. You know that beauty and tranquility await you.
