That's weird...I was down in Ft. Lauderdale a few weeks ago for the "Button South Reunion" at The Culture Room.
I saw hundreds (maybe over a thousand) of old friends and fans of my band (lived in Lauderdale all through the 1980's)...and everybody was telling me how bad things are there.
On the other side of Florida...my entire family lives near Tampa. My stepfather is an antique dealer, my dad a citrus grower, one brother a car dealer, and the other a fishing captain. None of them are saying what you are reporting.
