I live in a very small town by the name of Jay up in North, Florida I come from the city. I love it. At first I was concerned being that I come from a Hispanic family. I was born and raised in Florida. The people in this area are true Southerners and are mostly blue eyed American's. I must say I have felt embraced by Jay. They have an awesome Southern hospitality which I have never experienced where I am from. They treat you with kindness and respect. I have the best neighbors anyone could ever wish for. I truly do love it here. It is a very small town, very rural. I have to drive 30 miles to get to the closest city, which I don't mind being that this is a very safe little town, very uncontaminated. I guess in a nut shell God has blessed me in abundance, I have never felt left out or singled out they all know I am not from here and they have accepted me. My accent sticks out like a sore thumb, I don't have their beautiful Southern Slang. It's funny because they like my Spanish accent. Figure that one out!Small towns are safer, less contaminated and awesome to start a family.
And the people watch out for you, and are EXTREMELY HOSPITABLE. This is my experience. I wouldn't change living here. I have lived in big metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, California and Miami. Nothing compares to that small town feeling.
