Hello Regal Readers! As you know, Regal Homes got its start in Tallahassee before expanding to Miami and we are still thriving in our growing home-city! In fact, we love Tallahassee so much we dedicate this blog to bragging on how wonderful it is!
Here are some local blogs that we think are worth reading if you are a Tallahassee local or just passing through:
- According to WalletHub and BizJournals, Tallahassee is the #1 city in Florida to start a business!
- Tallahassee is home to 2 of the major Universities in the state of Florida: The Florida State University (FSU located on the oldest continuous site of higher education in the state of Florida) and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU which is one of the largest historically black universities in the United States).
- Tallahassee's second and current capitol building (built in 1977) is the 3rd tallest capitol building in the United States, following Washington, D.C. and Austin, TX.
- The average person will spend more than $33,000 in rent over the course of 4 years in Tallahassee. This figure is for a 1 bedroom apartment. (Of course we had to throw this in, so contact a Regal Homes professional about better ways to spend your money living in the capitol city!)
- Since 5 is half way through our list... About half the residents have a bachelor's degree or higher, which makes Tallahassee Florida's most educated population.
- In 2006, Tallahassee was given the award "Best in America for Parks and Recreations."
- Tallahassee is the 7th largest city in Florida.
- Looking for a fun night? Tallahassee's very own discount theater, Movies 8, always has a selection of movies for a fraction of traditional movie theater prices... and they have awesome popcorn!
- This is a link to an entire blog about the top 9 sandwiches in Tallahassee!
- "You can see Tallahassee's oldest resident—an approximately 10-foot tall mastodon skeleton named Herman—at The Museum of Florida History. He's over 12,000 years old."
