Stuart Florida - Sailfish Capital of the World.
(you cant make this stuff up) i heard from some locals that Stuart used to be known for its flowers. (I've seen some flowers, but not a single Sailfish. except some statues around town) What i wanted to point out though is CONFUSION CORNER. There are numerous traffic circles around town. Where multiple roads intersect at a spot with a circle in the middle. Everyone goes counterclockwise and plays chicken with everybody else. Now "in season" (november-april) you have triple the traffic and most of it is Snow Birds from the North. Older people who are not used to driving, not used to traffic circles, and not sure where they are, or where they are going. Throw them into this mix and you have some great chances for wrecks. Traffic circles don't have stop signs, they are Yield to enter and nothing to exit. You circle and circle till you want out on one of the roads. Then you turn right and get out of the circle. Not Snowbirds. Snowbirds might stop any time, and anywhere. They can be in the circle and just stop. Stop because they are lost, because they dont know who has the right of way, because the mind blowing number of choices where to go... Now drive up on Confusion Corner and hang on! *Plus to make it interesting they added a train track through the middle.
Think - State Fair madness combined with Roller Derby!
