    i love these "getting to know you" videos. It's funny that you make Isabelle talk while riding the roller coasters....makes me laugh every time. Bravo on the way that you phrased the ending "negatives" comment also. You gotta stay and be the change. Great video.

    I love what Julie had to say about the sense of Community here, even though she doesn't live here. As a 5+ resident of Orlando ( previously Miami) I can say that Orlando has small-town vibes in a big city. My neighbors are great and friendly, and I too moved here for work, and I am so happy I did. You guys always crack me up I'm happy to support the channel as much as I can!!

    I've lived in Florida twice in my life. When I was a kid I lived near Jacksonville. St. Augustine is awesome, that's the only thing I miss about Jacksonville. It's the oldest city in the country and a really amazing little town. When I was in high school and college, we lived about five minutes from UCF (yes, I went there). The only thing I miss about the area is the parks, especially Universal, and the beach. It was so hot, I usually tried to stay in the AC. The bugs are terrible, and we had snakes in our house twice. Beware of fire ants.
