I had today off and decided to swing by the Zoo in Sanford. I love the river otters so have been hanging out on the bench watching for a bit.
I knew from the little shopping I do (outside of local grocery shopping) that I’ve been hearing more Spanish near Univ of Central FL.We have lived here 24 years and the Hispanic population has noticeably increased since hurricane Maria.
But it really hit home here. So far 2 out of 7 families have been speaking Spanish.
Go to Miami. Try to get any construction/house work/handiwork/anything manual without knowing spanish.
Good luck.
Not just illegals by the way. Lots and lots of 'legals' from south america. With honestly earned, or not-so-honestly-earned money. Their countries are unstable, so they take (some of) their stuff and come to FL.
