State capital it may be, but TALLAHASSEE
is a provincial city of oak trees and soft hills that won't take
more than two days to explore in full. Around its small grid of
central streets - where you'll find plenty of reminders of Florida's
formative years - briefcase-clutching bureaucrats mingle with
some of Florida State University's 250,000 students, who brighten
the mood considerably and keep the city awake at night.
Though built on the site of an important prehistoric
meeting place and taking its name from Apalachee Indian ( talwa
meaning "town", and ahassee meaning "old"),
Tallahassee's history really began with Florida's
incorporation into the US, and its selection as the state's administrative
base - the local Native Americans, the Tamali tribe, being unceremoniously
dispatched to make room for the trio of log cabins in which the
first Florida government sat in 1823. The scene of every major
wrangle in Florida politics - including the controversial ballot
recount of the 2000 presidential election - Tallahassee has seen
its fortunes hindered by the lightning-paced development of south
Florida. Oddly distanced from most of the people it governs, the
city has a slow tempo and a strong sense of the past - the city
remains a conservative place.
