City advice
Getting around
Highway 90 between Live Oak and Lake City is very busy...
...and rather dangerous as it is 2-lane with no good passing lanes. Use I-10 or St Rd 252
Customs and culture
Raise index finger on two lane roads to oncoming traffic
This is how country folk say HI. If you know someone, use 5 finger Howdy!
Ways to save
Check out the Publix app.
The BOGO specials there are amazing!
Travelling with kids
Kid Playgrounds
