Parents: Loxahatchee

[chipuni]

Dear all,

I'm visiting my parents in Florida for a few days.

LoxahatcheeWhen I arrived at my parents' house this morning, they had decided to drive back to the home I lived in from 1981 through 1986 in Loxahatchee, Florida

When I think about my hometown as a kid, it felt like a giant neighborhood. Now it's a circle of suburbs around a decaying downtown.

The Ballad of Danny Whitney

[kensterfox]

You may or may not remember a kid by the name of Danny Whitney, six years your senior (if I remember your age correctly) who lived in Loxahatchee and attended your school for a couple of years. He rode the bus in every morning, and the Loxahatchee locals made quite an impression on him. He learned to mimic their speech patterns, their mannerisms, their conversation, and used that to make other people laugh. He was so good at it that he's made QUITE a handsome living, and is now known internationally for his comedy, so much so that he has passed Jeff Foxworthy in most people's minds as "most stereotypical redneck". Oh, except he uses a stage name, of course. You may be a bit more familiar with his character, Larry the Cable Guy

No, I did not know Danny Whitney at the time... but I do know about Larry the Cable Guy now.
