This was in Florida a few weeks ago, I’m from thw midwest and had never been to the state before, I knew there were a ton of lizards around and people see them all the time but I never actually knew they were invasive species!

I always grew up calling them Crab Apples until I found out apparently those are just wild apples rather than these guys lol I’d never heard them called Hedge Apples before until I looked it up more recently

That’s about my favorite time to go, I think a lot of it comes from cherry picked videos of crazy fights and things happening at Waffle House that gives it the reputation which, of course those are the videos people see, cause they’re actually interesting to watch rather than the 99% of the time where it’s just a chill diner, and the food quality’s gonna vary from location to location too. Tbh I’ve seen way crazier things go down at Denny’s which I’ve only been to maybe 4 times in ny entire life?

I swear I may be the only person who has never actually had a bad experience at Waffle House lol whenever I go it’s always just been myself chilling out and drinking coffee with no else there other than the staff, or with one or two friends and it’s just as quiet.

Just off I-24 outside Chattanooga
