As I remember it used to take about 4 hours to go from Tampa to Naples.

It's not a geographical definition; it's a cultural definition. There is 'Old Florida' and then there is 'South Florida.' The definition may be broadening to include the Fort Myers area of the SW coast due to recent rapid growth and immigration. These areas include high levels of immigrants from other parts of the country and foreign countries. Much of this growth has occurred since the invention of air-conditioning, which I well remember. Key West is part of 'Old Florida,' but you may be right that it is Caribbean, like many of 'Old Florida's' coastal fishing villages. A.

Now, you're confusing this poor Tennessee boy. I am thoroughly confused! Looking at a map, there ain't much South of Pahokee. It looks like it's all swamp! I am dropping out of this, becasue evidently the only thing that is South Florida is the Caribbean Sea being that Key West isn't even South Florida. I suppose there is NO South Florida it's all in my imagination and tour books. :-) What is exactly South Florida? ...and is means is. :-) _____ From: Arthur Polhill <lpolh...@bellsouth.net> To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, October 6, 2010 9:14:44 PM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews from the Palm Beach Post and Miami Herald courtesy of Junogator I marched through Pahokee in a parade when I was in the Navy and I can assure you, it's not South Florida either.
