finally...something i can come close to agreeing with (in the arena of these "lists")...though i would place us in the 10-15 section and not # 4.

I'd say we're up there on the list.  4th is believable to me.  We have tons of city parks with state and national parks nearby, great "seasonal" weather, the St. Johns, Intracoastal, Beaches, you name it.
