I am a native to florida. We moved to Riverview in 1982 from Ocala. It has had alot of growth since Interstate 75 was finished in early 90's. This encouraged alot of growth because it made the commute into Tampa easy. We are away from alot of the noise and bustle of neighboring suburbs. They are currently in the process of widening Hwy. 301 which is much needed. Alot of nice shopping plazas have popped up allowing us not to have to drive as far for things. I know you can't stop all the growth in Florida. I don't even like it when it gets cold here I can't imagine what northerners put up with. I think most people you meet anymore really aren't even from Florida. But I think we for the most part try to be polite and friendly. As far as an earlier comment on us being poorly educated and bad drivers,I only wish that would run everybody off. Wow, then we could go back to our quiet rivers, lakes and ocean spots. We might even wave at a stranger and walk over and start a conversation. Oh, wake me up that was forty years ago. Anyway if you come I'll be nice to ya!
