Most would agree that no matter where you live, at some point, you begin to take the most desirable aspects of your hometown for granted. This is not to say that you completely forget the unique and appealing attributes of your area, but rather that a lack of parity creates a veiled look at life in your city. While the name Daytona Beach is very recognizable, it often elicits an array of associations.
