It's about time we rank for something good, positive, and in the top tier of it all. After living in South Florida, and now West Central Florida, I can say that they are right, there is a plethora of vegetation in Jax and Duval County such as trees, plants, foilage, etc. (this is lacking in the southern part of the State...not as abundant as North Florida).

We have a little bit of everything. Great beaches, rivers, springs, lakes, city parks, state parks, national parks, weather, boating, fishing, biking, hiking, history.... the list goes on. About the only thing we don't have is mountains and ski slopes!
