USA, Canada / I might be moving to Florida.... [36]

Mostly I disliked it for the traffic, for almost a year I had to drive through downtown Ft Myers (41) five days a week

They built another bridge theres 4 of them now, I know what you mean though
especially during season trying to get on or off the beach took forever.

I worked right on the beach so I just rode my bicycle mostly, thats the best way
to get around.

I grew up between Sarasota (lovely, one of my favorite FL cities in the day) and Ft Myers (not ... so nice)

I have to agree Sarasota is nicer, Siesta Key is beautiful.
We had Sanibel and Captiva Islands though?
The city if Ft.Myers has some nasty parts,
I lived on Ft. Myers Bh thats where all the fun is at:)

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]

I went last night to see B.B. King and was totally dissapointed, he kept stopping
in the middle of his songs to talk about the Democratic party.
I came to a music festival not a political rally!
About every 5 minutes theres some Black person asking me for money or a
cigarette, beer whatever they can try to get off you.

How about getting a job!!!!!!!!!

yes, but how about the costs of living?

Its cheaper in Florida, I still dont think they have a state Income tax which is
always nice and food is cheaper there.
I remember people used to say you get half your pay in sunshine..lol
I made some good money as a bartender while down there.

hey sledzik :) are you going to stay longer with us or disappear again? ;))

Hmmm,,, I`ll be around Taste of Polonia will be here soon....cant wait:)

Unskilled labor starts at $13.00 an hour, Skilled labor can go up to $30.00 an hour.

Wages are alot lower than that in Florida, most ppl have 2 jobs just to get by.

Its true there are some good deals on Real Estate right now.

Ft. Myers, Bh is my favorite place, I lived there for 7 years before
I moved back to Chicago...
More money to be made in the Northern states compared to the South

Gas prices in America??

Chicago has the highest prices in the country $ 4.49 per gallon,

Nearly .80 per gallon goes to city, county, state and federal taxes.
