The Coffee Shop Test: One of My Favorite Ways to Explore a New Community
When people are looking for a new place to live, they usually focus on things like schools, commute times, and home prices. Those are all important, but one of my favorite ways to get a feel for a community is much simpler: visit a local coffee shop.

Things Florida Residents Secretly Judge Each Other For
Let's keep this between us.
Every community has its unspoken judgments, and Florida is no exception.
We Judge:
- People who wear jeans in July.
- Anyone who complains it's cold when it's 75 degrees.
- Neighbors who don't wave back.
- Folks who stop at green lights because they saw a bird.
- Anyone who says they don't like Publix.
We also quietly judge ourselves when we:
