Review of Tallahass,


city is claustrophobic
Star Rating - 10/25/2016
I thought It was just me, I moved here in late May 2016. I’m from northeast, been in Florida since August 2015. I live 6 miles from work and it takes me 17 minutes to get to work and 20 minutes to get home.(I have driven 20 mins to work before but that was 17 miles) I moved here from Mount Dora, FL for a better position in my company and now I wish I had never left. This city is claustrophobic for me, I have never lived in a forest before. The combination of the forest like 2 lane streets and the long lights has caused me anxiety while driving. I never would have moved here had I known, I also agree with the nothing to do and more expensive than lake county. And the summer here was hot, hot, hot, and soooo humid. The utilities are crazy, the rent is more and the food is expensive. Only thing to do here is go to the movies if you are not into sports. I have driven to Panama City Beach, Jacksonville and Orlando for something to do. Also you need to drive to Jacksonville or Orlando to get a decent price for airfare, my co-worker told me the Tallahasse airport charges the airlines more money, so the tickets out of here can be hundreds of dollars more than elsewhere and some airlines are not here. I am looking for another transfer within my company back to Lake county Florida area, although there is a 18 month waiting period between transfers. I’m out of here as soon as can. This place is not why I moved to Florida.

I’m laughing at this. First, you’re not from Florida but you’re from Mount Dora in Lake County which is pretty but boring to tears. I’m from Tallahassee and live in Osceola County for the past 16 years. Canopy Roads and real woods make you feel stifled? Try I-4, the Turnpike and every major road in Central Florida with its awful population, language situation, over populated schools, no real jobs unless you work retail which includes Disney, awful roads with potholes galore and just plain rude people. Oh. It’s hot there? It’s hot down here too and it’s hotter way longer. Let’s not even get started on major hurricanes and environmental pollution.
