My husband and I just moved to Gainesville from Massachusetts. It's beautiful.

[@aladepollo4833]

Let me know more. I’m looking to relocate with my husband as well. 💕💓

[@lolaolowu9186]

I have been living in Massachusetts for 10yrs now. So I’ve been cold for a decade. Please, let me know what life look like in Gainesville Florida. I would like to leave Massachusetts for Gainesville. Thanks in advance for your advice.

[@anthonyhoward8891]

i was born here in June of 84...my mom moved me and my oldest sister Amy to California when were baby's so i have always had a special place in my heart for Gainesville, FL! Will be back soon!

[@badhombre4683]

I went to UF from 2013 to 2017, the best four years of my life. Gainesville was the place that gave me my friends, my first love, my warmest memories, and so my memory of it will always be an overwhelming nostalgia for the very essence of the "good old days."

[@MatHouchens]

Born, raised and still here. Great video!

[@viphealthandlaserclinic446]

Great video with some of the best highlights of Gainesville. It is a comfortable lifestyle here.

[@dgibbsfl]

Very nice Andrew. I came to Gainesville from New Orleans twenty five years ago to raise my young family and so glad I did. You captured a LOT of the essence of what it is that makes us all happy to be working, playing and living our lives here. I may travel the world but I will always come back home to Gainesville.

[@meganmoratorio3845]

Hello Dave, I left Gainesville about 5 years ago and am planning on returning in another 5 years. Paul, from Tall Paul's, mentioned that he could see Gainesville being the next Portland or Austin by 2024. With that being 5 years away, and with you living there for 25 years and seeing the city shape itself, do you think Gainesville has the ability to grow into the next US hotspot?

[@kristintoo83]

This is wonderful! As a Gainesville native, people wonder why I stayed here in my hometown and I think from now on I will show them this. This video pays tribute to so much about what I love about this place. Thanks for making it and loving our town! #GainesvilleLove #ThisisGainesville

[@ghostgirl2708]

Thank you for this video! I moved up north from Gainesville FL a month ago and I'm feeling a bit homesick. This video made me smile. :)

[@melanierobinson4152]

Awesome video! This is the exact reason Gainesville is my choice for raising my family❣️

[@Bechgaard1989]

I miss Gville. It will always be my american home

[@outstandingcruise3613]

I went to High School in Gainesville and graduated from GHS..Lived there for several years after that.My absolute favorite place to eat was always David's BBQ!!There is no other like it on the planet.

[@emilyjones1584]

This is amazing. And it's making this birthday so much better and bittersweet. Great job you guys!

[@samanthamatos5026]

I really feel you did a great job showing all the amazing things we have here :) I especially love the paper art segment, healthcare, and the food! :D

[@The-Pink-Checkered-Floor]

I love your video! 🥰 Thanks from the mom of a new UF student from Iowa.

[@Giltorres88]

My girlfriend and I are considering moving out here...this video helps the push...thank you for making the video.

[@dixiesmith9660]

Great job portraying the awesomeness of Gainesville

[@WeberIMayRoam]

Nice video, but as a Gainesville resident, I think they spend WAY too much time focusing on UF and the surrounding area. There is a LOT of Gainesville that doesn't have anything to do with UF or downtown.

[@larrym.johnson9219]

Of course it's the major money .

[@MAGICWITHASHLEY_]

I don’t know about anybody else but this makes me cry , I love this city and the people here every here is just great , there’s no city like gainsville

[@loriet838]

Love this! Add a couple more minutes so you can include our leadership in renewable energy and bicycle accessibility. :)

[@chasewesley6864]

Great interpretation of Gainesville.

[@manuelguallpa7607]

Gainesville FL I made the best decision moving here!!

[@flappybearproductionscomic4912]

I'm a proud Gainesville resident!

[@andresromero9306]

Gainesville is a lovely place to live, there's a mixture of everything and you can find a niche to hang on to and thrive. It is like most college towns in america, I will agree with that. Also if it wasn't for UF Florida's Gainesville would not be in the map. I lived there for a couple of years but when graduation time came I was ready to move on and get out of there.

[@brianc4097]

I'm moving to Gainesville from Vero Beach within the month and this video has encouraged my decision to relocate to such a beautifully cultured city.

[@larammarsh]

So awesome!! Thank you for making this!

[@davidbrantley3702]

[@nirajlodaya6931]

Good Work !! I have been in this town for 2 years now and would not like to leave. #MadeInGNV

[@philadelphiawalksptsd]

Lived there for about two-and-a-half years. sad to go, but had to return to Philadelphia.

[@meowies2765]

I have never been to big, big cities. So Gainesville is the biggest city I know, because most other cities in florida are like towns or villages. Gainesville is small but also big enough. I fucking love living here 💕

[@hobiswifey3800]

would love to move there with my daughter for her college but when i told her about the humidity and the hurricanes lol she asked me dramatically "why would would you want me to move there?!!!" nyahahahahahahahaha

[@EQUALLYBALANCE]

This is Beautiful, such is Gainesville!

[@Garfunk78]

Still here

[@LivinginGainesvilleFlorida]

Nice video, great work!

[@aaronjacobson3280]

Wow, very well done! glad I found this, I'm moving there soon

[@StephJ0seph]

Superb video quality 👌

[@angelkleer]

awesome video! I love Gainesville

[@jestenvick12]

Rodney mullen was also from gainesville and he was the one who created most street skateboarding tricks..

[@TheEntimaniac]

Gaiensville has things that make it special and awesome, but its just like any other state college town.

[@TheEntimaniac]

lol, true

[@sarkimsosdab9775]

Cool video! I love living in Gainesville 😊🖤

[@royboy1984]

Way ago not mentioning ANYTHING about the Gainesville Punk Scene.

[@MiguelAsse]

Awesome video Andrew, very well done!

[@teresaj.663]

WOW! Love this video

[@jordenewest]

Ahh I can't wait to start at the University of Florida and experience this town firsthand! 😃

[@tillwalley]

i just moved away about a month ago, this is making me miss gnv like crazy

[@jeremymendoza1465]

Loved your vid on Gainesville and UF! Planning on visiting next month and hopefully attending UF for grad school in the future. Extra motivation with this vid! Keep up the good work!

[@alykaf]

OH MY GOD THAT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!!

[@sycrook1]

Nice overview of G'ville! I grew up in Austin and it is great to see creative, individualistic aspects of Gainesville emerge, which is the essence of Austin. But what's with the background music? With all the featured local music, why was none of it used as the video back ground?

[@courtneyj944]

"I've been using scissors to cut paper for about 8 years now" I knew what he meant, but still found the wording funny! It's like, congratulations! You've finally passed kindergarten. Haha

[@doothewoo]

This is a really great video. Wish you would have included places like the CMC though, which has been part of the Gainesville community for the past 20 years!

[@goldakelliryan]

This made me want to move there!

[@MAGICWITHASHLEY_]

You absolutely should !!!!!!!!

[@PriyaDesai95]

I miss UF and Gainesville so much! :(

[@PriyasStoryland]

I love Gainesville ❤️

[@andrealher1]

Aww, this video makes me miss home!

[@royboy1984]

Other bans from Gainesville: Hot Water Music, Less Than Jake, Against Me!

[@GlobalFilmOfficial]

Great video

[@sorel8738]

Wow who shot all that great SFC footage?

[@TanyaBeatty]

To keep Gainesville's charm we don't need more people moving here.. That's the problem 🙄

[@lolaolowu9186]

C’mon...sharing is caring!

[@GvilleTODAY]

Please consider to make one for Tampa

[@nexthubbins]

cool vid!!!!!

[@Noah-zo4gn]

Here from Simpson’s

[@doctordisease1373]

How is the job market down there?

[@oceanmeetsland5603]

on a scale from 1 to 2... it's a solid 2

[@paigebaker16]

I really loved this video, you did a great job! I think you should make a part 2 and add Gainesville raceway. My husband and I race out there a lot and gator nationals would be a great time to get some good footage.

[@mitchelldrum6119]

The Satchels Airplane burned down btw

[@vsmcl3979]

Very nice and much appreciated representation of our special town. However!!! There is no mention of the cultural and visual arts; theHarn, the Phillips Center of the Performing Arts, the Museum of Natural History, the Butterfly Museum or the SF Fine Arts Hall are not even mentioned. That's a big gap for your viewers. I'd suggest your video would benefit from including these important features that Gainesville has to offer.

[@chanbla11mit]

If i move here, will my bench press go up?

[@darcyschild1748]

What is the name of the last song?

[@heart-freedom3061]

[@josemagana1021]

[@Beaming246]

What is the name of the song at 3:10?

[@MiguelAsse]

Alessa E it's a Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay!

[@gokhango5322]

special food = pizza and fried chicken. hahaha..

[@THEISAAC1593]

Scissors to cut paper, no shit Sherlock

[@mariacurie8102]

I'm sorry, but let's be honest here... Gainesville is NOT a city, it is a village. And unfortunately, it sucks! ~Fellow Gator (Can't wait to get out for grad school!)

[@Kevin-it4fh]

@@zach5994 idk, what else is there to do in cities? Saying this as someone who grew up in Queens, NY.

[@dadvieclalp7868]

Lol

[@iandajett6626]

Brosciencelife

[@ainemairead4542]

the precommercial for the video is,,,rude

[@user92831]

"Not your average city" - yep, it's not even a city. More like a town or village.

[@sarahwilson27]

Its not a Village at all or a town stop hating

[@mclovin2232]

Hahaha!

[@MissNirny]

Nah Gainesville is pretty boring and I live here but I’ve never went to ragge shack

[@mclovin2232]

Great video and highlights but, Im sorry Gainesville really sucks. I should know i grew up there
