Tallahassee is Florida's state capital, located on the eastern

edge of the Florida panhandle, in a region locally known as the Big

Bend. City life is dominated by politics and higher education, and

research as Tallahassee is home to two major universities -

Florida State University and Florida A&M University - and a

community college, Tallahassee Community College. Additionally,

Tallahassee has a rather sizeable non-transient (non-student and

non-political) population with a total of 150.000 residents. Tallahassee is the hub of Florida's great Northwest. The city is

also home to the National High Magnetic Field Labratory, and the worlds

people are friendly and the city itself has much of what you'd find in

many of the larger cities elsewhere in Florida.
