Homeless Bill is clued in that you meet a better class of people at Walmart.

The Osprey Walmart is one of the nicer ones to shop at, it's one I usually shop at, sometimes I'll go to the one on Cattleman, since I'm about midway between the two, but I do prefer the Osprey one. Having said that, there is a homeless camp behind one the churches in Osprey, I see them more so because I happen to be a user of mass transit. I think only once, have I been asked for monetary help. I never hear of them to be a big problem in the area and usually if an issue comes about, it's quickly identified and nipped in the bud. overall it's seems like a very nice area.

Seems the authorities stay on top of things and try to avert any serious crime, see the following report.

It's the land of the haves, and the havenots - a bit strange in many ways.

West of 41 in Osprey is lovely, but a relatively small geographic area. The Wal-Mart everyone is raving about is nice because it serves customers in upscale areas such as Nokomis and Casey Key, Palmer Ranch, and The Oaks Club.
