Miami/Broward folk don't like to be associated with the rest of this state.
You should read "Redneck Riviera: outlaws, armadillos and the demise of an American dream" by Dennis Covington. Really good portrayal of rural Floridians outside the tourist traps/resort areas. Some crazy flatland hillbillies.
Same author wrote "Salvation on Sand Mountain" about the penecostal snake handlers. Both are damn good reads
