Would you say that someone in the midwest would recognize that city being in Florida if they heard it mentioned in conversation?

Bartow?

The town of Bartow was named in honor of Francis S. Bartow, the first Confederate officer to die in the American Civil War.

I used to watch all those Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons but I would never have remembered that association...so it was just my wild guess looking at a map.

The old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons took place in the fictional town of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. Well, at the other end of the country, and on the other end of the temperature scale, is a real town named Frostproof, Florida.

Famous people
Frostproof is the birthplace of NFL Free Agent Travis Henry.
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Alvin Harper was born in Frostproof.
Ben Hill Griffin, Jr., founder of the citrus empire, politician, and on the Forbes 400 in 1989.



OK, where in the world am I?

no to both of those, but I admire the "bold" guesses.

disclaimer: nothing in the sentence above is intended to be a clue

First, please allow me to retract part of what I said above. The state I'm in does border on water but the town in which this building stands is not on any coast.

Yes I'm east of mrs. sippy.
