Sometimes it seems like everyone wants to put Florida down, but we just roll our eyes. You see, we know quite a few things that they don’t about our state, and we know how much they’d miss us if we really were gone.

You might not realize how much of this we're really responsible for until it's too late.
4. Say goodbye to the best Cuban sandwiches out there.
