Rated 0 "drunk-ass white, middle-class male punk of North Central Florida" Having lived in Tallahassee my entire life (22 years) I can honestly say I've not noticed any particular amount of these types being more prevelant here than in any other places. I think Tallahassee was written with the area in mind from when John lived in town (mid to late 90s i think)
Living on Southwood plantation Road...Inglis and Cedar key: all places off HWY 27. Also in 'Alpha Rats' the allusion to the refinery at St. Marks (which had an old fire engine parked at its decrepit front gate for years back in the 90s) makes me think they know something about the area or have kinfolk connections cause only locals or people with a connection to the area would take HWY 27 (or the female half "coming down here, and you-")
HWY 27 however IS seeing America Right. (also pretty right wing) Shitty po-dunk meth/alcohol ridden towns. Turpentiners back in the early 20s century destroyed the natural landscape. Just ugly ugly nothingness out there. All of these places mentioned are junked-out, forgotten places. Youll notice 27 has lots of abandoned motels from before I-10 was built in the 70s-70s. Modernity destroyed these towns. No one wants to live there. Youd have to be an alcoholic to consider spending any time in them (probably because you are stuck)
I think the Alpha couple moved to Tallahassee because the female half needed to escape whatever bad shit was going on back in Cali. To cool down, to revert to a place of childhood. But I think she came back to it being awful. Assuming this is the 90s it definately went downhill from when she was a kid in th 70s.
