Some great pics of Florida from the late 1800's (sorry it's a pdf.). I lived in Florida for 8 years and after leaving I've found there is something about it that is really hard to shake loose of.
Florida is filled with real-estate and family entertainment tycoons always trying to make it out as some whitewashed hellhole it isn't. It's actually a really damn spooky place! I think that's what I like about it so much. It's also still a place you could actually be killed in your own backyard. Some coral snake, black bear, or alligator you've been screwing over with your septic tank runoff could decide "Today's the day I'm going to bite that asshole."
