Florida B.S. Thread

That's what makes living in a tourist town so shitty. Now I'm not as sad that I live in West Cocoa (aka the armpit of Brevard County) instead of Cocoa Beach.

 

Its amazing to me I grew up in Cape Canaveral on Orange and Jackson ave then on Clearlake just past Dixon on Highland rd I think it was now this was from 1968 to 1976 before moving to Tampa it not changed one bit for the better in my opinion.....

I still have Family there and my Dad lived in Rockledge till he passed in 2018 but his little area did not change much surprisingly in 30 yrs.....

Lee how long have you been there?

 

Right on. I know where Highland is. I'm right by Cocoa HS off of Range Rd. I moved here in late 2016, and it hasn't gotten any better. High speed pursuits down Range onto Michigan are pretty regular. Brevard's ghetto bird spends a fair amount of time in the air around here too. I mean hell, the area is so nice my company plopped a plasma center down on King St (520) and it's usually pretty packed.

 

Yeah, no shit I bet it is packed. Im not sure Johnnys is still open but it most likely is that place was a riot in waiting back in the day. I have a hard time even going to back to visit sometimes as I look at pictures from the 70's and absolutely nothing has changed. My Grandfather was part of the Apollo/Space Shuttle programs early 60's 70's and early 80's......I don't know if the Big Chicken is still there on Dixon and US1 that used to be the best place to get fried chicken maybe not so much anymore but the Hotdog place is the bomb.

 

There is a chicken joint in that area. I'm not sure what it's called, and I've seen the hot dog place but I've never been in. One thing that caught me off guard was the number of hot dog restaurants between Cocoa and Titusville. I don't remember ever seeing a place that focuses on hot dogs (other than Nathan's) before moving here and there are at least a half dozen down here. Bizarre.

I haven't heard of Johnny's, but there is a little corner market at Peachtree and Fiske that is always in the news. Between that place and the Wawa that opened last year at Fiske and King, Cocoa's CSU doesn't get much rest. Funny thing is the people that live in that area blame the Wawa for the crime rate, but not the hoodlums out doing hoodlum things...

 

That is most likely the place its on Peachtree and Lake. Hotdog places are like the predator check cashing, TV and furniture rental places in the hoods there cheap and rip the poor off to no end and cause people to not eat healthy.

 

Don't ever go to Worstoff Hospital if you don't already know!

 

Its too bad that Brevard never recovered form the Shuttle program shutting down I know Space X and some others are trying to fill that void but it was too late....

 

Yeah. I took my roommate there after her boyfriend dumped his bike. Less than stellar treatment.

 

Where is everyone buying their attachments for their AR. Bought one finally and want to do some Shenanigans to it

If you find something you like check the comments, sometimes there's a better deal. Be careful though you're going to buy a bunch of random stuff lol

 

So more or less it's the TW of the gun market? Cause we've all bought random shit since joining TW...

 

Anything Magpul is good quality. You can get stuff on Amazon.

 

Tim I have a red dot ill sell you I dont use. If your looking for one

 

DSG, Palmetto state armory, Larue Tactical, Brownells, Ballistic advantage, Local gun shop.

Check out the MBT trigger from Larue, great trigger and only 80 bucks.

 

Depends on what you are looking for. Palmetto State Armory is a good resource, as is Primary Arms. Then you have Bravo Company USA, Gun Mag Warehouse, Operation Parts, etc. I'm generally leery of buying parts on Amazon as some vendors will sell airsoft copies as the real deal. SKD and OPTactical are good for ancillary gear.

 

Send me a pic it came with one but it’s pretty tiny

 

I will when I get home

 

I don't know how I forgot Brownells and Midway USA.
