GAINESVILLE:
multiple soup kitchens, plasma clinics, day labor sites, decent for busking or making money with arts/crafts, good public library that sometimes has a free healthcare trailer (got a free referal and prescription), a dental college where you can get a free cleaning, farmers market every week, woods everywhere to camp in even within the city, good trails and camping around the city, cheap beer, people partying year-round. if you look young you blend in, and as such have to act really stupid to get cops' attention (there are a lot of them, which actually made me feel safe for once). easy to get around, near the rainbow gathering in ocala, i had no trouble catching rides, got smoked out in surprising places, befriended an alligator, bought big $3 cuban sandwiches from publix, cooked em' in aluminum foil and pressed them between rocks. legit cuban.
