(14,912 posts)The Redlands, South Beach, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach (Ives Estates area) in Dade County. Hallandale, Hollywood, Dania Beach, Davie and Ft. Lauderdale in Broward County and Key Largo and Lower Matecumba Key in Monroe County. I had friends who lived in Cutler Ridge, and I've spent many a night partying there, and days jumping off of Snowdens Dam and swinging on the rope swings. I'm going back 30+ years here!
I have been thinking about moving back to the Central Fla area, around Ocala, but further out. My older sister & brother-in-law live in Ocklawaha, as well as my nephew, his wife and some great-nieces & great-nephews. They are out in the middle of the Ocala National Forest. Just my type of place... had enough of the 'big cities' when I was younger. I LOVE rural living! I hate crowds and traffic...and certainly don't miss the sounds of police and ambulance sirens 24/7! We *might* hear a siren once or twice a month where I am now! To get in a traffic jam, I'd have to go to a church parking lot on Sunday mornings and blow my horn at parked cars LOL!
I've been thinking about the move for a couple of years now, but the only thing holding me back is my elderly parents, who live 4 doors up from me. My only consolation is that my youngest sister is staying there with them right now and helping them out. We think my 76 year old father is in the beginning stages of dementia or Alzheimer's. I'd hate for something to happen and I couldn't get back up here quick enough. My disability only stretches so far, you know.
Peace to you and yours,
