Subject: Re: Where do you live, and why?



High Springs, Florida		Born and raised in NE Ohio. We raised vegetables and owned and operated a farm market, as well as a regular job. Late 1990's and early 2000's lots of development and we started losing our leased land because developers bought it out. A big farm I had leased from the county was lost, because they need it to spread sewage sludge on and it could not be used for vegetables for 7 years they told me. At that time I was really getting tired of being cold all the time and having a terrible time with sinus trouble. I had to get out of the cold, wet NE Ohio winters.

I got lucky and saw a job posting on the internet for the line of work I was in. Applied for and got the job. Sold the house, kept the farm market, and moved down here to Florida. Best thing we ever did. I wish I would have done it 20 years earlier. Got down here before the big real estate fiasco and got a good deal on a house and some land. Oh and bonus, found a really good ENT and with a little surgery, he ended my miserable sinus problems. Something the doctors in Ohio could not or would not do. I am no longer cold, except for a month or two in the winter and that's not so bad.
