Re: Thinking of moving
 

I was born in Miami in 1957 I lived in South and South West Fla. for 30 years. I moved to Bucks county Pa. to finish my residency and of course ended up here with a job.....
I think of Fla. everyday wishing I could go back. I envy all you who still live there and those who are moving to that beautiful state.
The east coast has everything..,the west coast will have it all next week. The cost of living is going up there but still is less then the North East US.
Otto you will love it and wish you had moved there thirty years ago.

And you can buy beer in a 7-11 store, now that is great.

Cheers,
Pat

Re: Thinking of moving
 

What do you guys think about Stuart, as compared to Jupiter area?

Re: Thinking of moving
 

As you know Otto,I have spent alot of time in W.
Palm area there is alot going on there.
I checked out Stuart last year,lot of $ around,but it seems to be a much older area and not quite as much going on.I was only there one day so i could be wrong,but from what I saw I like
N.Palm,Jupiter,West Palm area much better.

I am going to be looking at the Destin area next month,I does anyone have any input,on how it may compare to W.Palm,Jupiter area?
Thanks Doug

Re: Thinking of moving
 

Doug,
I spent a week in Destin last year. It has without a doubt the most beatiful beaches in Fla.
I've spent a lot of years all over Fla. and Destin ranks right up there with Marco Island.
Of course Marco has the Ten thousand Islands at there back door. At one time the best place in the world to fish for Reds and Snook.
God I miss that state.

Re: Thinking of moving

Re: Thinking of moving
 

DO NOT MOVE TO FLORIDA. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS MORE NORTHERNERS DRIVING UP REAL ESTATE VALUES, AND CROWDING OUR HIGHWAYS. I HEAR ALASKA IS NICE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

Re: Thinking of moving
 

Actually, I think we've narrowed it down to Sarasota.

We ARE willing to pay too much for real estate and drive in a slow, confused manner without signals of any kind. Our arrogant demeanor is only outweighed by the size of our Mercedes'.

The only problem we have with the area are the redneck Rebels who got their boating cetificates (or Captains Licence) at Super K-Mart on a Blue Light Special. They know only one speed in traffic and have no clue what their huge wakes do to folks not out for a Ye-Ha experience.

Oh ya, don't ever wave to anyone, cause they might think your actually friendly...
