To the Editor:

I moved here in 2002 and Ocala has grown a lot, but people used to constantly called the city “Slowcala.”

I think it should be called “Fastocala” now.

I love Ocala and would not move anywhere else.

It’s a beautiful town and it’s close to Daytona, Tampa and Orlando.

I don’t like being on State Road 200 at times because it is so busy, but I just stay away from SR 200 as much as possible.

Thank you for the article.
