[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Jacksonville but am not old southern money. My family moved to the south right after I was born. Before Jacksonville was a city, before they had a football team or an airport with more than 1 terminal.  There is a ton of old money though throughout Florida. Little pockets in different cities. Some of the old money families are the kindest and most generous families you will meet. Not flashy but proper on occasion. Obviously not all of them are this way but a fair amount are and there are lots of lovely families like this. [/quote]

Agree with this poster.  Many of the old money families made their money in timber or land.  Southern etiquette.[/quote]

+1 from Jacksonville. It has an extensive history of being the winter retreat for many gilded age robber barons (think DuPonts, Colgates, etc) before the advent of air conditioning. There’s still plenty of old money families there but they don’t advertise it. It’s pretty insular unless you’ve been there for several generations. [/quote]
