Is Jacksonville really the worst city in Florida? Is that among just the major ones or even including Ocala, Gainesville, Pensacola, Panama City?
I'd consider Pensacola a major city. I love the Redneck Riviera. Gainesville is an SEC college town... it is disqualified from any discussion of worst cities.
There is literally nothing in Gainesville (Dereich and I once spoke of this in the IRC). Tallahassee has a lot more to do. Panama City and Pensacola are both fairly large cities, but I feel that if you aren't a retiree, a drunken UF student, or a military family, you won't enjoy it much.
