While we reject the word “character” as a bit of realtor-speak that’s snuck into everyday life, but we will admit that neighborhoods have personalities.
In fact, some locales have personalities that are so strong, you can easily translate them into a type of person. Reddit recently did this with Orlando neighborhoods and outlying towns, imagining each at a party and then speculating what they would be doing. The social media trend, started by New Orleans Redditors, has quickly spread to just about every city with an internet connection. And Orlandoans failed to disappoint when their time to crack jokes about the city’s quirks came around.
Take a look at a few of our favorites.
