Description
Florida has theme parks, condos, and $14 mojitos. But it also has towns so remote, so tiny, and so gloriously weird that they don't even have a single traffic light.
In this video, we count down 12 of Florida's most forgotten towns — from a hamlet of 11 people with the smallest post office in America (and alligators blocking the door) to a fishing village where the feds arrested 80% of the adult male population in a single drug bust. You'll meet a town named after bartered eggs during the Great Depression, a phone booth that served as an entire police department, a community that crowns a Worm Gruntin' King every April, and an island where a mob shot an outlaw on the general store porch in 1910.
These are real places. Real people live here. And none of them need a stoplight.

12. Two Egg
11. Carrabelle
10. Sopchoppy
