I was just thinking about some of the stuff we had to get people to move to the area I live in. Some of this stuff was down right silly. But what I would like to know was why did you move to Florida ?

Opportunity. But remember this was YEARS ago. We didn't really move here to discover "paradise". Regardless we found what we were looking for...

My parents! LOL, I moved as a teen but apparently they found what they were looking for. (My dad sold real estate). I think its an 'alright' place but that's not the direction that my life (or career) is going in. So for me, personally, it's time to go. I'll always visit, though.

The Shell Factory was (and still is)the first big place people would stop at on US-41.

I put a map of the USA on the wall, grabbed a dart and threw it with my eyes closed, it landed in Palm Beach County, the rest is history. Well it sounds good doesn't it?
