Questions on moving to Florida (multiple towns). [View All]

[carpetbagger]

I'm looking at moving to Florida later this year. I've lived there before (Miami, Jacksonville, and Naples), so I know a great deal in general. I've applied for positions in Sarasota and Tallahassee, but should they fall through, my next tier includes Ocala, The Villages, Leesburg, Sebring, and possibly openings in other areas in the state (or for that matter, outside the state).

So if anyone knows anything about this, these are my questions...

Can anyone objectively comment on the public schools in Sarasota? (I say objectively since I have family members who teach in Sarasota).

What's Tallahassee really like? Any good Mexican food? What's the local culture there, more like Atlanta or more like Tampa? Are there enough Yankees in the suburbs to avoid social isolation?

As to the other places, do any of them have good schools? Any decent semi-Bohemian life to the places?

Thanks for whatever you can dish out.
