I moved to a smaller town toward the middle of the state. Big difference between this and South Florida.
Not naming the town, because I don't want you people to flood here and ruin it.
Arkansas is nice though. My granddad moved to the Booneville area from Fort Pierce in the 80s and lived there until a few years before he passed.

The funny thing is that I knew people who lived there over 20 years ago, but they left--they thought it was being ruined by too many newcomers!wjbarricklow wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 2:38 pm I moved to a smaller town toward the middle of the state. Big difference between this and South Florida.

It has always been thus. Everything is relative.

Funny you should say that. My wife congratulated me, because I always wanted to move to a small town like where I lived when I was a kid. She has no idea what it's like to live in a town of 250 people and drive 20 minutes to get to a town with a fast food place. This is a bustling metropolis compared to that.tector wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:02 pmThe funny thing is that I knew people who lived there over 20 years ago, but they left--they thought it was being ruined by too many newcomers!wjbarricklow wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 2:38 pm I moved to a smaller town toward the middle of the state.

Her grandparents bought this house here in 1990, and there was a Burger King and a McDonalds here back then. This town is so big now I'm surprised there isn't a Walmart yet.

I am in the process of doing just this. Retire in a couple of months. Want enough land to shoot on, and get away from Hurricane threat (right now on the beach).wjbarricklow wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 2:38 pm I moved to a smaller town toward the middle of the state.

According to this map
I would guess the panhandle would be the safest; however, more to the center of the state, the hurricane is drastically less violent when it get too you.

I live in a small town near Lakeland one hour from Orlando and Tampa it works out in the end.
Everybody's got a plan until they get hit.

If I ever move it would be to the Redlands, would love to buy a nice ranch/farm and grow fruit trees, I like it down here besides I hate cold weather.

Still plenty of places in Florida that get you out of the hood and into the quiet and a healthy way of thinking.
