I still live out in the citrus groves and I love it I just missed the smell since they demolish the majority of them I have a couple of them that surround me in a horse show and I just love it when they are in bloom in the wind blows the right way. I remember driving up from fort Lauderdale we used to hit a certain spot and all you smelled was oranges for the longest part of the most boringest drive from south to North

I can tell you this as a Floridian it wasn't the canker and it wasn't this foreign disease or that foreign disease that hit these trees it was all development and greed and money exchanging hands in Polk county is the worst most corrupt county next to Miami Dade county. Now we just have to get rid of Grady out there and Polk county might have a chance

The most disgusting thing about Florida like any other state is that they group everybody together our state is so big that it could literally be wide open spaces and everybody have a couple acres or more and live very well down here but nope that's not the United States of Israel and how it works
