I’ve spent significant time in the DFW area, Warren, Ohio, and Raleigh, NC before coming here.
So I am familiar with Joe-gun rack, he doesn’t bother me that much. Ironically, though I swing more conservative than your avg. bear, I’ve never really hung around too many red-necks. In school I was a jock and popular with the girlies which didn’t sit well with our local mullets. That element worries me slightly about FLA. All of these towns had good areas and bad though Youngstown-Warren is more depressed economically. You can find it even in Encinitas if you are looking hard enough. For the most part simple economics cancels it out on the coast.
Most signs point to Oviedo as being a pretty nice area. A bit suburban, but for us close to work (near UCF) and avoids the nasty freeways.
