After all that, I'm just a little curious what a european grocery store is like
Some Jim Butcher (he writes a fantasy mystery series called the Dresden Files, I think that's the name of the series, anyway) unfunny for you.

And where are the interminable roadside stretches of scrub forest? And the curtains of Spanish moss, a plant not exclusive to the Spooky Voodoo-Haunted Louisiana Bayou (which is an unfortunate trope package all its own, of course.)

And I would pass out from sheer delight to see big honking school-bus-yellow grasshoppers--with pink wings, yet!--as a bit of Florida local color.

(I'm not a Floridian, but I have a lot of family there.)

Burn Notice, which is set in Miami, comes to mind as one of the very few that gets it right. Outside-the-city scenes actually haves the roads with scrub pines and mangy brush that you see so often.

Of course, you usually don't see much Spanish Moss except in rural and wilder areas, because any native or longtime resident knows to cut it out of their trees. It is a parasite that eventually kills the host tree, so you don't see it much in the burbs. Well, except in the yards of the northern transplants who think it looks romantic.
