Chipley
Chipley is located in Washington County east of Pensacola between Bonifay and Marianna along Interstate 10 near the Choctawhatchee River and the Alabama state line.
In 1882, the community of Orange was founded and renamed Chipley. It was the year the Pensacola & Atlantic (later L & N) Railroad was completed beyond the town site.
A huge fire, believed to be of incendiary origin, leveled most of Chipley’s business district on May 14, 1898. The great fire destroyed and decimated thirty-five buildings that were reduced to ashes while Chipley was less than 20 years old.
Today, Chipley has been fully restored, as well as having a beautiful historic district that is loaded with various thriving business.

Gainesville
This is not a city with a view; it’s more of a city in a forest. Freshwater springs, pristine rivers and Paynes Prairie-a 21,000-acre/8,498-hectare nature preserve that supports a range of wildlife, including bison (yes, bison)-are within a half-hour drive. On the weekends, you’ll see car after car with kayaks strapped to the roofs. Gainesville has 77 mi/124 km of bike lanes and trails-more than any other Florida city-and recently received a silver award from the League of American Bicyclists for being such a bicycle-friendly city.
Gainesville has both a pleasant small-town feel and lively nightlife centered around the University of Florida. The city is home to the university and its 45,000+ students, but it’s more than a sleepy Southern college town. A progressive, eclectic gem, Gainesville draws artists and intellectuals, scientists and musicians, healers and entrepreneurs. Gainesville is a welcome refuge for those fleeing South Florida’s more developed strip-mall-and-subdivision regions.
Florida Museum of Natural History - University of Florida, Powell Hall ,SW 34th Street and Hull Road. This is Florida’s state museum of natural history; it is dedicated to the understanding and preservation of biological diversity and cultural heritage. There are more than 20 million specimens of amphibians, butterflies, birds, mammals, fish, and reptiles etc. The interactive games allow visitors to test their knowledge and learn how people can help preserve these unique habitats..
Micanopy Historical Society Museum - Cholokka Boulevard, Micanopy. Located in a small park, visitors to the historic town of Micanopy and its museum are very welcome. Founded in 1821, Micanopy is believed to be the oldest inland town in Florida and is named for Chief Micanopy of the Seminole Nation. The museum is a celebration of the history of the area and has some fascinating exhibits..
Dudley Farm Historic State Park - 4 miles east of Newberry on SR 26. This original Florida pioneer farmstead is near a busy highway, yet it transports visitors to a by-gone age.

Jacksonville
Jacksonville area, which has a population of more than 1,000,000 residents, covers 841 square miles. That makes it the largest physical city in the United States. Another interesting fact about the city is that it has the largest urban park system in the United States. There are many areas for recreation and outdoor activities and it also contain very beautiful scenery. During your visit to Jacksonville Florida FL you will wish to see the many museums that the city offers and also enjoy as much nightlife as you can. When you visit Jacksonville you are up for some great beach days to enjoy the sunshine and the festivities and wealth of water sports are available in the area.
Jacksonville has three beach towns, which are pleasant enough and have fine beaches but more or less blend together. Immediately to the south is Ponte Vedra Beach, where many golf and tennis stars live and where the TPC at Sawgrass golf tournament is played each year. One-day memberships to the Sawgrass course are available, but only deeply committed golf fans will want to pony up the roughly $300 it takes to purchase one. The somewhat less committed golf fans will want to head for the World Golf Village, just off I-95 between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Several challenging courses and the World Golf Hall of Fame are here, as well as an entertainment complex that includes an IMAX theatre.

Lake City
Lake City is located in the North Central area of Florida, about 40 miles down from the Georgia line. It’s about 60 miles to the beach east or west.
One of the nice things about living in Lake City is that although you have all the convenience of a large community, with lots of nice shops, technology-related businesses and such, with Lake City you still have a small community flavor where folks lounge about on the front porch of an evening and give you a wave as you pass by. Lake City is probably best known for the Olustee Battlefield Reenactment that they hold every year. This is a big event with thousands attending from all over. Lake City, Florida’s original name was “Alligator or Gator Town,” named after Chief Alligator, whose tribe resided in the area before being ousted by our early settlers. City founders later decided that having a name like “Alligator Town” wasn’t conducive to getting people to move to Lake City, so changed the name.
Live Oak
Live Oak is located in Suwannee County (is the county seat) west of Jacksonville between Jacksonville and Tallahassee along Interstate 10 near the Suwannee River and the Georgia state line. Live Oak provides a rich look into Florida’s history.

Charming shops and restaurants combine with the peaceful rural community setting to provide necessities for all interests and a variety of activities.

Pensacola Beach
Hugging the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Pensacola Beach, Florida awaits to meet all of your vacation expectations. Pensacola, close to the Alabama state border on the Gulf coast, is yet another of Florida’s resort Meccas; but instead of theme parks and excitement, the city relies on real history and natural attractions to draw the crowds and the ambience is relaxed and laid-back among fountains and parks.
Pensacola is known for its current stars, the Blue Angels precision flying team of the US Navy, who are based here and hold thrilling exhibitions. The US Naval Air Station is situated to the west of the city and also boasts the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
In and around Pensacola powdery white sandy beaches abound along the coastline and on the Gulf Islands, particularly at Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach with their luxury resorts. The coast and islands are a paradise for fishermen, and ‘foodies’ will enjoy the plentiful local oysters.
Pensacola Beach was heavily damaged by Hurricane Ivan. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who suffered loss during this terrible storm.

Saint Augustine
St. Augustine seems more like a picturesque European village than a modern Floridian city. St Augustine is a best place for visitors those who like combination of history, architecture, sandy beaches, bizarre tourist attractions. With deep historical roots, it is not surprising that there are more than 85 historic sites and attractions located here. A visit to the Spanish Quarter Village unveils many of the most famous historic attractions in a concentrated area. The golfing opportunities offered in and around St. Augustine are also enticing. Several world-class golf courses that accommodate varying levels of play are open to the public. The cobblestone streets and hanging Spanish moss add to the city’s romantic atmosphere, making it also ideal for intimate getaways. No matter what reason brings travelers to St. Augustine, it is certain to have something of interest for everyone.
Start with the castillo de San Marcos, the fort that dominates the northern edge of the city. Tours are inexpensive and quite interesting, and a good view of town can be had from the ramparts. This fort is built of a popular local building material, coquina. Coquina are tiny clams that burrow in the sand of the area’s beaches; crushed and mixed with lime and other ingredients, the shells form a sort of concrete that is capable of simply absorbing any cannonballs fired at it from ships in Matanzas Bay (although this has not been tested recently). Leaving the castillo, make your way to St. George Street, where among other things you can tour the Oldest Schoolhouse and a number of other Oldest Things. There are a number of good restaurants and bars along St. George Street and the surrounding area (last call for alcohol is 12:30 a.m.). You can tour the San Sebastian winery, which sits on an unassuming plot of ground near the headquarters of the Florida East Coast railroad, inland a ways from St. George St. Free tours and tastings are given more or less on the hour, or whenever there is a crowd. Experienced wine connoiseurs will no doubt be rather surprised by the sweetness of most of the wines; the local grape, called a muscadine (or musketine, for its resemblance to a musket ball), is quite sweet (but an absolute joy to eat). These light, sweet wines are popular in the rather sultry Florida climate (I like the Reserva myself). The cream sherry is quite good.
Stop in at Flagler College, housed in what was once the crown jewel of the Flagler empire, the Flager Hotel in downtown St. Augustine. This complex of red brick, Victorian buildings once sheltered the New England elite on winter vacations; now they house college classes, a somewhat more egalitarian purpose. Tours of the architecture can be arranged through the front office, but they do need some advance notice. Alternately you could just jump in with one of the prospective-student tours.
For a somewhat different tourist attraction, head out across the Bridge of Lions toward the St. Augustine Lighthouse. It’s three-hundred-some-odd steps up to the top, but the view is wonderful. Admission is relatively cheap. Nearby you can visit the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. For those who’ve never seen an alligator up close, this rather cheesy park is quite entertaining. Most of the alligators don’t seem to move much, but then, they don’t move much in the wild, either. You can watch some of the friskier gators jump several feet in the air to retrieve whole chickens at feeding time, and witness the old art of alligator wrestling.
Nearby is the Florida Outdoor Amphitheatre, with outdoor plays throughout the year, including a Shakespeare perfomance during the summer. Performances of “The Cross and the Sword,” the official state play, can only be seen here.
St. Augustine’s Old City contains many historic buildings. You really get a feel for the town’s early days by strolling the narrow streets lined with Spanish-style houses, particularly in the evening when the crowds have departed. The Spanish Quarter Museum contains several restored structures where re-enactors perform the day-to-day activities of the 1740s. Other sights of note include the St. Francis Inn, the Government House Museum, and “The Oldest House", “The Oldest School", and “The Oldest Store".
The Ponce de Leon Hotel – named for the explorer whose first Florida landfall was in the St. Augustine area in 1513 – now houses Flagler College. The grounds are well worth a look for the lavish garden, fountains and Spanish architecture. Across the street is the Lightner Museum, housed in what used to be the Alcazar Hotel. It has an eclectic collection ranging from art-nouveau pieces to music boxes (there’s also a cafe in the hotel’s drained swimming pool). A block away is the even stranger collection at the Zorayda Castle, modeled on Spain’s Alhambra, whose collection includes an ancient Egyptian rug woven entirely from cat hair.
North of the old city is the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, believed to be the site of Ponce de Leon’s landing. The park also claims that a spring on the property is the fabled restorative fountain that the explorer was seeking.
While you’re in the area, try to get out on the water on one of the scenic cruises of Matanzas Bay. Several craft ply the Intracoastal Waterway and offer lunch and dinner cruises. Also north is the “Best Bet” at St.Johns Greyhound Park. If you head south from St. Augustine, you’ll find several state parks, including the Anastasia State Recreation Area, Faver-Dykes State Park and the Washington Oaks State Gardens.

Tallahassee
Northwestern Florida is known to some as either the Panhandle or the Emerald Coast – is generally laid-back and friendly. You’ll find most of the typical tourist attractions and crowds along the coast, but most of the area is made up of quiet forests or farms and small towns. Tallahassee was selected as Florida’s capital in 1823 because it was halfway between St. Augustine and Pensacola, then the state’s major cities. That location puts it almost in Georgia, and, in fact, Tallahassee has more in common with Macon than with Miami.
Tallahassee is a fairly small city, extending for about 5 miles in all directions from downtown. However, compared to many bigger southern cities, what is in town is fairly well packed together and not sprawled all over the region. Downtown is currently not very lively, though efforts are underway to change that. The major roads through town are Monroe St., Appalachee Pkwy., and Tennessee St. - the former two are US 27, the latter is US 90. Tennessee St. is famous for its bars, frequented by the collegiate population on a nightly basis. Monroe and Apalachee hold both of Tallahassee’s malls along with the majority of shops in town. Capital Circle NE/US 319, part of the larger Capital Circle, is where many of Tallahassee’s better restaurants can be found.
The other predominant action in town revolves around politics. The main legislative sessions run in the early spring and early fall, bringing in legislators & media from all across the nation and state. Beyond this, Tallahassee is home to many of the state’s major services and departments, with their offices spread out throughout the city. The governor’s mansion is located about a mile north of downtown and is currently home to Gov. Jeb Bush. About 90% of the town’s major news comes from either politics or academics; the rest tends to come from sporting events or the rare crime event in/around town. WCTV-6 is the overwhelming leader in news in town.
Nearby towns include Thomasville, GA, Bainbridge, GA, Quincy, FL, Monticello, FL, Crawfordville, FL and Cairo, GA. The coast is a half-hour drive to the south, with some of the best beaches in the state located near Apalachicola & St. George Island approximately 75 miles to the southwest. Panama City, a two hour drive, is very popular with the college students, especially in the spring and summer. In the panhandle, Tallahassee is somewhat isolated from other major cities - Jacksonville is a two and a half hour drive to the east, while Macon, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta and Pensacola are three or more hours away.
The town itself has a distinct southern feel - some refer to it as Southern Georgia as opposed to Northern Florida - and is quite different than the bigger cities in Florida’s peninsula such as Orlando, Tampa and Miami. There are no major professional sports teams in town, though Florida State football takes over the town in the fall. Major concerts and social events tend to pass Tallahassee by for larger venues, though this isn’t always the case, as exhibited with the popular “Seven Days of Opening Nights” feature each winter run by Florida State.
Outdoor recreation opportunities are numerous, whether by means of roadtrips along Tallahassee’s famous canopy roads, equestrian activities in one of the town’s horse parks, outdoor sports in one of Tallahassee’s numerous parks, or exploring nature by bike or foot along some of the trails or side roads to the north and south of town. The Apalachicola Natl. Forest is located on the western edge of town, while the St. Marks bike trail is located on the southern edge of town. Numerous state and national parks are within a short driving or biking distance from town.
Traffic, on the whole, is fair comapred to most cities the size of Tallahassee. The roads are congested during rush hour - from about 5p-6p - but move well most of the rest of the time. During home football games at FSU and the legislative session, traffic can be substantial at times. Most roads in town are two lanes; the major thoroughfares are usually 4 lanes, with other roads at 6 lanes. I-10 is the major conduit out of town to the east and west, while US 319 serves communities to the north. With many back roads in and near town, however, the potential to explore is great.
Tallahassee is a quaint town with it’s own charms. The panhandle region is a great place to visit, with many natural and other attractions to visit throughout the year. On the whole, the people are friendly and the city itself has much of what you’d find in many of the larger cities elsewhere in Florida.
