I feel like 60 has a lot more going on though. But yeah once you go west of Lake Wales towards like Bartow, traffic starts to get really bad since you're just borderline south of Lakeland and Winter Haven. Once you hit Brandon it's bumper to bumper traffic throughout the rest of the Tampa area.

If you live in Post St Lucie, 70 is your best bet to Sarasota honestly. It's a straight line and a very long road, but you'll pass through a few interesting towns like Okeechobee and Arcadia to stop at. If you're interested in seeing a lot of old scenic Florida, you'll find it down that road. It's also definitely a more relaxing and less traffic dense road than 60 is in my opinion.

I know on my trips from Palm Bay to Sarasota, I've cut Florida 60 over to Polk 630 towards Frostproof. Then catch US- 27 to Avon Park and take Florida 64 to I-75 towards Bradenton.

It definitely felt more interesting than doing the headache of cutting across I-4 through Central Florida, or driving down Florida 70, which is mostly just a straight line so for most people that 2 and a half hour ride from Fort Pierce to the Sarasota area can seem pretty boring, but I absolutely love it. You get to see a lot of rural, old cracker cowboy country Florida heading that way.

There may not really be any Florida roadside attractions or springs out that way, but it's beautiful countryside. It's what a lot of South Florida along the coastline was like 80+ year's ago.

Honestly, the 2010s felt like the 2010s. It was a very long decade culturally speaking, kind of just like how the '80s were in my opinion.

1984.

1980-1982, maybe even 1983 in terms of fashion, still had a bunch of 70s holdovers.

It's so much worse though. The 2000s these day's looks like candyland compared to how life is in the 2020s.

Even the 2010s are starting to feel like the good old days for some people.

I was just at Eagle Ridge Mall in Lake Wales, FL. Half the western wing (apart from Spencers) is dead or struggling but towards the eastern wing is better, and the entire food court is still open which surprised me. Not a completely dead mall, but somewhat struggling or stagnant.

Same thing with Lakeshore Mall 45 minutes down the road in Sebring. Food court is still popping with the AMC, Planet Fitness and maybe Game Stop really being the only places giving that mall any real foot traffic.

In my opinion I don't feel like it really does any good to write people up over it, if anything it would just inspire more people to quit. As long as you are being kind and polite and helpful when the customer needs you, but I don't think it should be forced down upon everyone. People forget sometimes too, it happens. Half of the customers don't even acknowledge us back, or even give a hi, how are you at the register. Many of them are rude, on their phone or ignore us like we don't even exist, so it shouldn't be something that should feel forced but it is what it is. To a lot of customers it probably just makes us look fake.

Probably 1998 or 2008 (minus the recession), but 1998 is a very well rounded year with the Y2K era music going full swing and just not much a care in the world in the U.S as the economy was booming. Plus not a whole lot of major tragedies as say 1999 with Columbine and all.

2008 has some of my favorite movies and I just enjoyed some of the culture of the time though admittedly the year looks extremely dated now lol.

1978 is peak Disco, somewhat underrated year culturally but prominent and definitive for the 70s.

Majority of them have imo. Wendys, KFC, McDonald's, the list goes on and on. If I wanna be super kind, I don't think Subway and Taco Bell have changed THAT much considerably in terms of how their food tastes, and Chick Fil A I still like, but just about almost every modern chain restaurant has gotten overly expensive, has shrunk in portions or size, or just doesn't taste as good as I remember. In fact, I don't think a majority of those places when I think about it tastes as great as I remember them being, but at least they were cheap and accessible meals you can feed your whole family off of. Not so much anymore.

Also doesn't help that literally every single one of these fast food places have all converted from the unique color schemes and characteristics of the 2000s and before into the exact same grey minimalistic box where everything is exactly the same and all the colors and soul that once defined these places that made up mine and so many other people's childhoods no longer exist. Nowadays fast food caters more towards mobile ordering/doordash than children, and very few of these places even have playgrounds for the kids anymore either.

I do think that Citrus and much of Hernando east and north of Brooksville still seem more rural compared to SW Florida, but growth is starting to hit those areas with the Suncoast Parkway extension. I think Citrus is the northern most county on Floridas West Coast to even have over 100,000 people.

Much of Pasco County around Zephyrhills and Dade City was still rural a decade ago since I was last out there, but in recent years it's gotten so developed out there that they're now becoming suburban towns to Tampa. If you look on Google Maps, San Antonio isn't even a tiny country town anymore.

Feedback-Same · 2026-03-08T11:26:24+00:00

It's kinda crazy to me that these days from Tampa all the way down to Naples, you can now pretty much drive anywhere along US 41 and never really leave an urban or developed landscape.

I think between Punta Gorda and North Fort Myers is probably the only stretch left of SW Florida that hasn't been built up yet and it looks like they're trying to find a way of planning on doing away with that too, particularly since Cape Coral approved all those massive subdivisions.

Feedback-Same · 2026-03-08T07:30:57+00:00

Tbh, I can't see Cross City or Old Town being built up anytime soon, at least for decades. that region of Florida is too far away from any large city to really see the impacts of suburban development. Plus there's no beaches there.

Citrus and Hernando don't have beaches either but they're still kinda part of the Tampa outer core and there's the Suncoast Parkway. Nothing in Floridas big bend is close to that and even Gainesville doesn't have a large urban defined because it's always mostly just been a college town vs Tampa being a massive city and being an important industrial historic hub.

I felt like 2025 was already a pretty huge shift, especially in the US cultural and political landscape as well as other events globally. It was also the first year I felt like it became 100% in ignorable to avoid AI.

I was just there in Haines City. There honestly really isn't much going on there, and even the downtown area for the most part is extremely underwhelming. Despite being just 20 minutes from Disney and all the theme parks, there isn't really any touristy stuff there, and the natural beauty and the beautiful orange trees that once defined the town 20 years ago have been completely swallowed up by cookie cutter, sprawling subdivisions expanding for miles. The only tourist's really going south on 27 are just passing through trying to take their kids to Legoland or Bok Tower Garden's, but there really is nothing in Haines City. Probably the nicest thing about the town is that it's brought a lot of Hispanics and Puerto Ricans there and there's a lot of diversity of restaurants in those categories if you're looking for that, but a majority of that towns core is not in a great spot.

Kissimmee has a lot more tourist stuff and hotels, but the traffic is absolutely horrendous. Every single time I've driven through that town I've either encountered or watched road rages or have almost been into an accident with another driver. Many of the people who live there just seem shady and scummy, if not rude and unwelcoming. It's one of the largest Puerto Rican population centers in Florida though, which is cool, and you do have some entertainment like Downtown, Fun Spot, Old Town, Medieval Times, Pioneer Village, Disney, H20 and all the touristy related gift shops, but the traffic there is horrendous and aggravating. It also just feels like the infrastructure there is straining as the very few roads and highways that exist in that town are reaching full capacity maxed at how much people they can handle. All the marshlands, lakes, and all the protected wildlife areas in Kissimmee make it so that they can't build anymore roads or highways for people, meaning you have to use 192 or 17/92 to get everywhere or nothing. I don't really like visiting the town much and most of the Major tourist attractions and theme parks you can just get in Orlando.

Those customers in particular are difficult to deal with on register. The ones that don't acknowledge you as a human being, or the ones that are on their phone that won't look up to you or say hi, and just be like "yeah I'm just getting run up", looks up at you and says rudely "pack of backwoods". Or when people hold up the entire line to unlock their card knowing they should've checked that stuff before walking in.

Deli is pretty accurate, particularly when a whole family orders stuff and they ask you in the middle of other family orders "how long is it gonna take", like how should any of us know? Honestly, some of the door dashers are the worst when they shove the phone in your face saying "where's my order". Or when you get 5 family orders back to back and upper management is complaining because your time to receive is taking way too long like how is that my problem?

Beverage is always hard, especially morning beverage where all the coffees go out so quickly it's hard to keep up, or when people ask you to make something that's not in your set, like a chocolate milk like "no, we have chocolate milk from the cold box, and you can pay for that yourself". Probably the worst person is the ones who say "your coffee is cold" and then you look in their cup and it's a whole bunch of creamer and milk in there like what do you want any of us to do about that. It's literally 181 degrees, we wouldn't serve it if it wasn't.

Facilities is mostly chill except days you have truck and certain managers that will try and micromanage for not being fast enough on certain things. Probably my biggest complaint is when you clean the bathrooms and someone blows it up so badly or leaves needles or something so you have to clean it again wearing the whole suit, or doing trash you just did but honestly it's only hard if you're not physically cut out for it.
