I'm moving to the capital city at the end of August! Does anybody live in Tallahassee or nearby?

If so, do you like it here? And what the heck is there do to in the area? Are there any good shops you can recommend? Really, if anybody has recommendations of any sort about things to do or see or places to go, I'd appreciate it. Literally, I've been to Tallahassee once-- a few days ago, to look at apartments. I know nothing. :-)

You may have already gathered but it's a college town, lol. There is a lot to do in and around Campus and if that fails you can always join the circus program they have at FSU, that's GOT to be fun.

It's also the head of a lot of the political scene in Florida. The Capitol is there, but unless you are an aid or a member yourself, it's mostly like visting a museum and not much else.

I don't know of any good shops there, but the mall one always did me fine.

But again, it's a college town and that hs a HEAVY influence on what there is to do around there.

They have a crappy football team...but other than that it's a nice town. :-)

There is a small B&M named Jerry's that seems to have a decent group of people there. A good friend of mine owns an oyster bar named Barnacle Bill's. It is a great spot IMO. It is on north Monroe. My brother is the service manager for Kraft Nissan... so if you ever need any service work done...

Other than that I avoid Tallahassee like the plague. It's enemy territory!!!

Well, I'm a UT fan, so I'm really not too concerned about the crappy football team. :-)

Thanks for the suggestions so far, and keep 'em coming! :-)

EEEGADS!!! I thought I like you 'til now:-)

I am in Panama City. I haven't been to the b&m there, but I have heard that Jerry's is the best spot in town.

Youse guys are a couples of Baiters aren't yens? Masters at it I'd say......:-)



Haven't been there for many years but besides sports at the local universities (don't forget FAMU, they've got the best marching band in the world bar none) the gulf is close. You might try a trip down highway 98 for sightseeing and seafood. It's an old article but I bet you'd still find some mentioned places "Getting a Taste Of 'Slow' Food Along the Gulf" Lots of good golf courses around there too. FSU has a first class theater/music/ballet department and there is Maclay state gardens. Unlike Gainesville, Tallahassee can have a small town feel to it though. Hell, Gainesville is only a few miles from Micanopy and everyone knows that's a happening place.....:-)

I live here in Tallahassee, i go to Jerry's Cigar at least once a week. Ever been there? If not, you should. Maybe we can set up a herf.

Reviving this from the dead.

Heading down for the weekend and the NC State-FSU game, my yearly game I can't decide who to cheer for(both parents went to FSU). Is Jerry's still the only place to check out down there? I'm hoping to find somewhere with a couple TVs to maybe have a stick or two on Sunday and hopefully catch the Bengals game.
