Has anyone lived or spent time in one of those three?

Jacksonville has enormous flying cockroaches...
Who cares about aligator bites when ya got those...yuck

Naples Florida on the Gulf...now THAT's another story!
BeaUUUtifull!!!

Selah-

Aren't those flying cockroaches disgusting? They're all over Florida. I remember them crawling over me in the summers at night while I slept. Gross.

But the West Coast of FL. Very nice. I love the way the pure white beach sand squeeks when you walk across it.

Anybody for a CVM Conference in Tampa or Naples?

How about Marco Island! Flame2

Now that's beauty and expense all rolled into one! Check it out sometime if you haven't.

I am thinking Charleston, South Carolina. I wonder if they have the cockroaches?

Thanks again! Cool

Naples, carries fond memories for me, my wife and I honeymooned there and Ft.Myers.

I know Florida well. Born and raised in a suburb of Miami called Hialeah ( formerly known for its horse race track ) . My mother-in-law lives in Tampa ( cross that off my list ) and my parents live in Ocala ( 90 miles north of Orlando ). I have camped all over Florida from Key West to St.Augustine to Tampa.

Some of the Florida west coast spots are nice for a visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Bit of trivia, my parents are good friends with one of the girls that was one of the original Weeki-Wachee mermaids ( The mermaid girl married one of the pilots that was hijacked to Cuba in the 60's ) . ( http://www.weekiwachee.com/main.php3 )

I would need the voice of God thundering from the heavens saying, "GO" , before I'd move back to Florida.

peace, don

Don: I would need the voice of God thundering from the heavens saying, "GO" , before I'd move back to Florida.

Tom: I'll second that! Add a vision AND burning bush as well. If you at all enjoy the changing seasons, like Fall colors, then put as much distance between yourself and Florida as you can.

Hey I have lived in GA all of my life.

I must say that though it has it's ups, its downs are bad.
we've had several major dorughts of 3+ years during my lifetime (22 years) and temperatures frequent 95+, during a rainy summer season, as we've had the last two years, the temp stays cool(85-90)

THe school system is the worst in the country no thanks to our former governor Barnes. But there is the HOPE scholarship (right now anyway) to where anyone with a B average can get thier tuition for free.

The fishing is ok to good if you like muddy water, and overall smallerfish size (Though I believe the world record largemouth was taken here).
The hunting is ok if you like smaller deer, though the racks can be nice.

Business Oppourtunities are growing.

The Mountains are pretty. I'm not a beach person but they are fairly nice, less party beaches than Florida

I love to target shoot, hunt, and believe in my right to keep and bear arms. The cun control laws here are excellent. Not too harsh on the owner, harsh on the misuse by criminal.

Civil War History is BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is true all over the south east!

and you'll have to quit saying that "you guys" non-sense and say "y'all", the more proper declination of the plural form of "you"

You won't find a church to embrace the open view, but you may find some that Tolerate it. Particularly in the Church of the Nazarene,or the "Christian Church" movement/denomination (think of them as the Church of Christ, without the legalistic rules, came out of the restoration movement, I attend one. But one of my philosophical aquaintences still introduces me as "Chuck the Open Theist"... has a nice ring to it ey?)

snake bites are not too frequent. IN all my years of hunting and fishing, I've never been bitten, and only seen about 8 or 9.
But if you live near a creekbed you want to make sure you don't have rats in your house!

stay away from the southside of Atlanta (in the hood, shotty!)

Don't ever expect to go sledding. people can't drive in the snow! all two inches we get! they cancel everything for the threat of an inch!
The day after getting back from Minnesota during my short stint at NWC, I went out fishing for cat-fish in 65 degree weather... shorts T-shirt on December 21... had a few bites too!

If you're not a Bulldogs fan they'll look at you funny College football is bigger than pro-football. No one cares about the falcons much comparitively

GO VOLS

Thanks, Chuck. I am still in the looking process of this relocation. We are thinking about North Carolina. Does anyone know much about North Carolina?

North Carolina is a beautiful place...
I admit that I like it alot
there are some Camping pictures on my website from the NC mountains
Click on Chuck's old page to get to them

www.westga.edu/~stu59980

it's beautiful, not as many rednecks and hicks as GA or Tennessee...
it is more liberal and less conservative politically.

Don't know about the fishing or hunting...

there are some more of what I call "party beaches" but there are also plenty more resorts!

Snow is a little more abundant, especially during a "northeasterly" which happen every 2-4 years. (Even Savanahh Ga got an inch during the last "northeasterly")

Living on/near the coast does have the threat of huricanes!(true all over the southeast

Personally i like tennessee the best, but I am a redneck! Tennessee is less liebral politically. don't know how much an Open Theist would be tolerated there. The people are generally simple and the land is beautiful. My family owns some land northwest of Athens Tennessee, I love standing on top of the tallest hill, and looking out over the valley.

Virginia is great if you like/love history, my dad is from the Greater D.C. area. If you decide on GA, let me know, we can Start an OV church or something... lol jk

-God Bless,
Chuck
