There is a state prison in Punta Gorda,
here.
Just a quick update:
We had an offer on our home. The deal fell through. I hate that its a Buyers Market and that Buyers think they can get everything they want, even ridiculous thing that no Seller would ever go for. Sorry. Anyway, my husband has an academy date for Sept. 28th so we will be moving there at that time, whether our home here has sold or not. The catch? My parents are also moving to the Sarasota area. My mom will be visiting the area next month and wants to look at a bunch of homes and pick one to buy. While they wait to retire (which will be in January 2010), we will live in their home, hoping that our home in California sells in the meantime. If it doesnt and its time for my parents to retire, well, we better make room for them because we'll all be living together until it our home sells! Squashy? Probably. But its how you have to do it when you want to get out of California before the Governor takes every penny you have left.
So maybe the number to the realtor is in order. Email me?
