100 Things to Love About Gainesville
TheVillageJournal.com, Vol. 8 No. 1, By Dante Lima
Whether you’re a Gainesville Native, new to town or just a longtime resident, you know there is a lot to love about this little North Central Florida community. With that in mind, we compiled 100 things that make Gainesville the town we love.
In no particular order...
1. Gainesville ranked #1 place to live in 2007 by the New York Times.
2. The University of Florida. Of course the chant rings true: It’s great to be a Florida Gator.
3. The Hippodrome State Theater. Not only does “The Hipp” make downtown Gainesville more beautiful, but it’s also the setting for award-winning theater.
4. The weather. Gainesville just like any other city in Florida can get pretty hot, but the fall and winter can be truly gorgeous and just cold enough to make you feel like you’re somewhere else.
5. SHORT COMMUTE. Gainesville ranks number 1 in the best commute times in Florida. More than 86% of commuters in Gainesville spend less than 30 minutes in traffic daily. A report by the U.S. Census Bureau says nationally Gainesville ranks 19 out over 250 major cities in shortest traffic time. What's not to love about that?
