Hudson Living (Tampa, Orlando, Clearwater: buying, living in, shop)

[H8Otown]

Hi All,
I am from Orlando and hate living here anymore. After 18 years this town has changed to much. I am looking at buying a bar in the Hudson area. Want to know if anyone could let me know what to expect in Hudson. I know there is an older population but what do younger people do and are there a lot of younger people in Hudson. Where would u live if you moved to that area.
Thank you for any help...

I know Sam's Beach Bar is very popular.

Hello,

I just moved from Hudson FL, and I liked it. You are not going to find a lot of things to do, but if you are the personality that likes to take things slow. You can enjoy it more. It is geared towards an older population or as some people say Hicks. But overall its not a bad place to live.

I'll be among those "Hicks" for the month of March in Hudson----And I've been concerned about the area? Your comments are encouraging. I'm sure H80town wouldn't turn me away at his bar. What would Florida do without the Snowbird's money?

We hope to be in the land of the warm in June. Born and raised up north , been living in Pa for the past 20+ years.
Husband needs to be where it is warm all the time so we are packing up and gonna try it. been to Florida many times to visit. Lived in Sarasota 30 years ago and should have stayed. Any suggestions for a new comer to Hudson? Bringing along our adopted grandaughter (6)and handicapped son. Everything but the partridge in the pear tree. Looking forward to the laid back lifestyle for awhile. Thanks for all your help and i have enjoyed the posts so far. Diane

Just be yourself. I lived in Hudson for several years, so deep back in the woods they had to pump sunshine into it ! I loved living there with the peace & quiet, but I was not close to anything such as shopping. I moved from Tampa, so it was a little bit of a culture shock. I don't believe thats the case, as many parts of Hudson are as built up as Tampa or Clearwater now.

I used to frequent 'Sams" quite a bit. Tipped many a beer, listened to many live bands there & watched beautiful sunsets on the Gulf. I think Sams got sold & it goes by another name now.

Good luck to you all. You'll love it.

It's going to start growing soon. It got lagged behind in population growth in the 1970s and 80s, but is starting to catch up now.
