From Jacksonville’s beach-town divide to the Key West homeless scene, to Savannah’s iconic bridge and late-night street life — this episode covers the kind of stories you only get from living in these places.We also talk about Florida culture, weird accents, the true “retirement destinations,” and what it’s actually like growing up in Bucks County before realizing how good it really is.
