🌴 Ocala Florida 🌴

[@teresanoel6355]

If you were staying at the motel where this video started. That was where all the drug addicts stayed. As for hearing sirens all night you were right across the street from not 1 but 2 hospitals. Also on hwy 200 you are only a couple miles from the ghetto. Ocala has gotten bad with the druggies in the last few years but so far there are no homeless camps on the edge of the road, yet. I've lived in the Ocala areas for over 30 years and will take it over Atlanta or even Orlando any day.

Its a new avid like 2 months old at most. We dont do motels at this stage in life 😊

[@teresanoel6355]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS yes they tore the druggy motel down and built the one I was talking about a couple months. But it's still a bad part of town. And the addicts still hang out around it since it's been their home for so long.

[@darlenebrewer6939]

There’s a lot of good points to Ocala too y’all are focusing too much on the bad and not the good. Of course there are a lot of Sirens there’s 3 hospitals in Ocala and if you choose to hang out in the druggie areas then of course that’s what your gonna hear and be irritated by. There in every town seriously. Step out and look at all the Beautiful horse farms natural springs and beauty it’s there to see and experience.

[@PlumbPros]

I agree totally! When you stay in a cheap motel downtown you're not going to have a good experience unless your into that scene! I'm from Ocala and lived and was just watching to see where they were going and if I knew anyone!

[@SchlomoJenkins]

I'm from ocala. The place is growing fast and experiencing plenty of development. This was a horrible review. How do you review ocala without hitting up Ale House, the Southeast historical district, or the equestrian center.

[@rebekahlove3001]

Been to Ocala many times Vacationed in Ocala never had any of the problems that you are talking about. Even thinking of moving there. Beautiful city. Hopefully next time you get a chance to see the real Ocala.

[@karins.2853]

If you think positive you get positive...these people bashing cities instead of sending love-unreal.

I absolutely love being a resident of downtown historic Ocala and i have absolutely none of the issues you speak of. Im sorry you had this experience here.

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS just hope next time your in town you have a more pleasurable experience. Its a shame that 5 or 6 blocks over from where you were residing for the night are some of the m9st beautiful old fl homes and estates on tree lined streets of silence.

[@pistolpaulie4871]

That’s my second home. I was there this past weekend. It’s change lots in the past 20 years. It’s lost the small country town feeling since people from Orlando started to move in. . I miss old Ocala.

[@anitacoogan4822]

I love Ocala, they must have gone to a bad section as most of it is super nice, I go there all the time. They are about 2 blocks from the Hospitals ( two huge Hospitals side by side) so of curse ambulances, as older people fall, etc.

There's not wrong with Ocala per se but generally speaking most of others places is same after the pandemic you will be surprised how great is Ocala compared to others places.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Its in Florida thats a plus

[@Phillydreaming]

I am from Ocala and it is a very different place... decided to move back in 2021 and now there are addicts all over. They walk into our job and cause issues. One even tried to rob us at gunpoint, except he thought the plastic fork in his hand was a gun. Homeless everywhere, crime going up, roads getting worse in quality and rapid building of gated communities causing housing inflation. It breaks my heart and I am getting ready for a second cross country move as a result.

[@elizabethdixon6472]

I totally agree with you. Not the same quiet place.Change soo much !!

[@robinmarie5180]

You stayed with in 1/2mile from the courthouse and 2 miles from the Marion County Jail and you expect better.

I strongly disagree with you, ocala is a beautiful place to live and very peaceful.

I can barely understand what Jose is saying when he talks. Katie. I have no problem understanding but Jose talks so fast and so low sometimes.

[@rakim6466]

Because he's probably lying

[@elizabethdixon6472]

I was raised here, not born here, but I have seen soo many changes not for the better, but worst. This use to be a peaceful relaxing town, but soo many people moved here change the whole atmosphere and the traffic is awful !! A small town that's growing too big so fast !! Slow cala it was called then, hey, I liked it that way, now, it's a total mess!!!

[@rosyp4389]

I like staying at the Shamrock when I'm there. Then, eat at the Horse & Hound. 🙃

Currently living in Ocala but moving to back to Tampa after being here for 7 months. Nothing but horses, old people & druggies in Ocala.

Lakewood Ranch is nice. Expensive tho 😧

Stay in the hotel across from Harry's it beautiful and no notice. Nice safe parks in clean neighborhoods!!

[@bookathevanman9948]

I live 20 miles south of Ocala and can vouch that Ocala is an armpit! Meth heads, and now pills are tough to get everyone is on heroin. I hate it here!

[@fvallilee2072]

Where isn't it though?

[@062082shane]

I lol never understand how someone finds a gf in Ocala all day long they get to have these beautiful women and i get to meet absolutely no one

[@somerandomperson7632]

No one seems to talk about west Ocala and I wonder why? And so you know I do not mean On Top of the World or Del Web. Look I work in Marion County as a installer/tech and I have been everywhere and there is a real issue in Ocala. Most people wont see it or know about it cause that what they want example Village Green, before it got torn down, There was time cops would not go in there. There is a huge Cocaine, Meth, and pill problem here and its so bad it reminds me of Tampa, FL in the 80s' and 90s' where I am from. I am not saying Tampa is better it still has major issue areas but no where as bad as it use to be.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

ocala is doped out

[@themrs0827]

What about the area of the shores - the mericamp road area? And cedar tree areas off 40?

[@pistolpaulie4871]

I do like that more Cubans are moving to the area and Cuban restaurants are staying to pop up. But the Mexican food if not so good compare to SW FLORIDA that is.

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Ocala has turned into a dump. 25 years ago it was actually a desirable location. No longer. Ocala must be attracting a lot of people moving out of Miami-Dade/Broward. Only logical explanation how a place can turn so wretched in a short amount of time. They ruin every place they move to.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

- Florida is a flat, hot, humid swamp. You are pretty much stuck indoors for half the year with the air conditioner on. Sell now while the market is up 👌

False, you can go outside year round. You're stuck indoors in the dead winter everywhere else though
