Tallahassee

Sunshine State seat

Tallahassee is the capital city of Florida, located in the state's northwestern panhandle region.

Unlike Miami or Orlando, it retains a Southern character with rolling hills and live oaks draped in Spanish moss.

Home to Florida State University and Florida A&M, it's primarily a government and college town: She moved to Tallahassee to work for the state legislature.
