Not sure where these guys got their name. I think one of them is from Ormond Beach, Florida, and the other one is from Monroe, Georgia. Pretty far from the Florida, Georgia Line. I guess Florida Georgia Line just sounded cool to them.
I also worked in Florida in the 80's, and got out in the early 90's. Never looked back. I notice the price of homes down there has sky rocketed since then. I was in south Florida, and not sure how it is in north Florida, close to the Georgia line.
