It’s Kis-sĭm-mee. Not Kis-seem-mee. But Kis-SIM-mee. And I will practice it, until I get it right, because it’s the hometown of some friends of mine, and it’s a wonderful place.
You know… there are only few places in the world, in my opinion, that are worth dwelling in. The town where I went to college is one. Rumor has it that a man from France — a painter — was travelling across the United States, came to the little town where my university is located, and stopped for a few nights. Rumor also has it that this man decided after a few nights in this little town, that he would stay for six months. Rumor further has it that he then decided to live there, indefinitely. And his comment to everyone was, “you should live here, for at least six months, so you can truly experience this place.”
Well, Kissimmee, Florida, is one of those places you should live in, for at least 6 months.
It has totally changed my perspective of Florida. (more…)
