Whenever you hear a person say "Such and Such metropolitan city is wack" what they're really saying is "I'm lame... No matter where I go"
Every city is what you make of it. No matter where I go, I have a blast. With that being said...
Anyone coming to Orlando and only visiting Kissimmee, Disny, or universal deserves to have a horrible time. I've been here in Orlando for 19 years from Ft. Lauderdale... And I've had an absolute blast. Mr and my associates always say... Orlando has the best looking women. Hands down(not the flyest, but best looking). It's the most diverse city you will experience in the United States (and I've been everywhere). It's slowly becoming a tech hub (outside of silicone valley) we have a medical city (Nemours, UCF college of medicine, VA). The cost of living is low, real estate is still affordable. It has the highest number of Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico (that can be a negative or a positive, depending on how you look at it). I will say that affluent black people are pretty spread out. Native black people here are not really culturally diverse. They have a lot of history here though. However their neighborhoods are being heavily gentrified to make way for the Amway Arena and the new Orlando City Soccer. But, to Orlando is lame, you need to look in the mirror.
