That is pretty much our experience except we usually just say Central FL, then either Leesburg or Wildwood if pressed. Seldom new meets press beyond that. If they do we end up saying TV. Get mixed reactions. Always have. It is unfortunate that the STD bit still persists. Even from people we have met in Scotland
