This website will tell you when spacecraft the shuttle and International Space Station) will be visible in the sky... Both will be visible to me in New Jersey tonight... so I'm hoping the clouds roll out the way they're predicting! The site allows you to enter your geographic region:

I was visiting family in Florida (between Daytona and Orlando) in 1989 when there was a launch, and could see the shuttle and the plume as it took off... it gave me chills - especially since it was so soon after Challenger had been lost.

Yes, it is usually visible for a radius of up to 250-300 miles from the launch site. It can be seen along the coastline as far south as Boca Raton, Florida and as far north as southern Georgia/Jacksonville, Florida.
