Why Daytona Beach, Florida might be annoying:

    As with much of the Gulf and South Atlantic area, the seasons are either warm and wet or cool and dry.
    A land grant received following the American Revolution would be used to build slave labor that produced cotton, sugar cane, and rice. (The Seminoles would later burn it to the ground.)
    Greyhound racing is a popular attraction.
    It was the setting and title of a ‘busted pilot’ (failed test episode for proposed TV series) that clearly got its inspiration from Baywatch.
    No thong bikinis here, on pain of two months jail time and a hefty fine.

Why Daytona Beach, Florida might not be annoying:

    Mathias Day built a hotel here four years following his founding of the original Daytona city. It would become a winter vacation spot for Northern visitors.
    Under the era of British rule of the state, the King’s Road – built in their colony – passed here.
    The wide beaches of smooth compacted sand made it a perfect testing ground for motorcycles and automobiles at the turn of the 20th century.
    In the latter half of the 20th century, Hurricane Donna (1960) was the only tropical cyclone to directly affect the area.
    In addition to its status as a resort town, it minors as a manufacturer of automotive and metal components.
