Brooksville is non-retirement but you'll only be recruiting the drug dealers. It's pretty crappy in Brooksville. My husband lived out there for a while and still has family out that way in Spring Hill so we know the area quite well.

I'd suggest Margate but I hate to say, the druggies are Every City, USA. Margate is high hispanic population but more for a 23 year old than Brooksville. Don't know much about Tampa.

I wouldn't suggest Margate area.It has a few nice areas but for the most part it really has gotten run down over the last few years.I lived there for 6 yrs. and stay there occasionally now (my parents have a retirement home there).I'm glad I got out when I did.

I have traveling alot thru Florida lately.I am currently staying with a friend in Spring Hill.Brooksville - druggies?Maybe I haven't seen that side of it yet but Brooksville is a small town with that southern Florida feel to it.
Margate,seemed all right when I use to travel to Broward.I suggest Tampa because its a good city overall,Clearwater beach and surrounding area is good.You have a airforce base is Tampa so you can hit the BX and PX.
You can live outside of Tampa and commute if you want to to save money on housing.

Brooksville verses Tampa
Tampa would be a much better choice for a recruiter, you would have a much younger crowd to encourage and to sign up.
Tampa is much bigger, go for Tampa not a mostly bedroom community like Brooksville.

I didn't see that in Spring Hill either, LK. Unless the middle-class, boomers with kids and retirees are getting high and we don't know it. LOL

I have been coming to know that people in Spring Hill and the area do alot of things hidden from public view.
see my thread about closing at 2am for that info.
And Im sure there is some drug use going on too.Unlike Miami though you don't see a "bro" standing outside for a transaction. |
