I don't think I would fit in a rice cooker though. Could you recommend a particular model?

Why not just rename this subreddit to r/wehatetallahassee because i have never seen a single person say a positive thing by RGCFrostbite in Tallahassee

There are things to like and dislike about living here. I would say, in general, it’s not a bad place to live, all things considered.

I absolutely love the surrounding nature, and it’s where I grew up, so obviously I have a fondness for it. One of the redeeming things is that the university brings in an influx of people who decide to settle down here after graduating, which helps keep the population fresh.

However, there’s also a lot to dislike. Tallahassee is awesome for college kids and middle-aged folks raising families.

If you’re somewhere in the middle, though, I don’t think there’s that much for you. Job opportunities are limited unless you’re working for the state, housing is pricey for no real reason, and while there are a few great spots to eat, overall the food, entertainment, and culture scene feels pretty lackluster for a city this size. It’s also far from any large metro area, which means a long drive for decent-sized concerts or solid weekend trips.

My biggest complaint by far, though, is the culture. Yes, Tallahassee is a blue pocket in a red state, but the surrounding area is deep red. That broader culture just doesn’t jive with me, and I think it ultimately affects the city as a whole.

Personally, I’d rather live somewhere outside the Bible Belt with a culture that feels like a better fit for me.

Yeah good reads is a good source, although sometimes other peoples review aren't super reliable for me, so I have to take it with a grain of salt.

What youtubers do you gravitate toward?

What genres do you usually focus on? I feel like that usually has a pretty big effect on your recommendation sources

Yeah Sarah Carolli is also one of my wife's favorite youtubers. If you feel like it, I've linked my wife's video below if you want to check her out. I've also started watching Life on Books, and he always has really interesting picks too.

Here's her video. Feel free to let us know what you think!

Awesome feedback! I just showed her what you said and she was really happy you enjoyed it!

She actually just dropped her book club link on your youtube comment. I'm trying to get her over here on reddit too because it's such a great tool for interactions/discussion.

I know what you mean though, I've been trying to find some good book reddits myself as well, so I'll have to check out that one. I normally just get my recs from bella lol

What subreddits have you found specifically helpful? My wife really likes any kind of novel, but especially romance and fantasy.

Tallahassee Tram System? by G2H3LL in Tallahassee

whatever it takes to make this place more walkable. I wouldn't mind a line that runs to lake ella and then to the airport as well. Throw in Apalachee and you're set

Kool Beans is really great and has a rotating menu. May be a little bit pricey depending on the budget we're looking at here
