...The summer's are unbearably hot and the winters and unbearably crowded with tourist and snow bird (people over 70 who pay their restaurants bills with $42 in change.) If you want to hang out with a bunch of rich old people who talk about a)how much money they have and b) how in 1968 they met some movie star you never heard of, this is your town...
Wha?!? I didn't know any of that!! Thanks maybemover96b, I'll turn my sorry self around and stop looking to move there. You've really saved my life!

....


whatever.
seriously, what's you're goal with a post like that? I'd make you walk the plank on my ship...

Angry Overthrow The Wealthy Class

The only way for us to take back our standard of living in this country is for every poor person to kill a rich person and even the score. And it will happen as long as the wealthy keep pushing their luck and raping us over.

There is much in the opinion of maybemover but his/her expressions do not help.
Yes this is a town of snowbirds paying too much for poor services but against that it is a great place to be if you can afford it and do not need to make a living here
Not a place IMHO to move to if you are setting off in life starting a career.
There are young families here and good schools but the older population outnumber them as do the number of doctors and health srevices we have to service them!
