[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the age of OP and we have a second home in Pelican Bay just north of Naples. I love it, and could easily live there year around. Everyone older than 60 seems to be from the midwest but the remote workers relocating are largely from the northeast. I'd also look in Sarasota.

GAH! NO NO NO NO NO NO.

Gulf Coast of FL is for Midwesterners.

East Coast is for DC, NY, NJ and NE people.

Get thee to Boca or Lauderdale and stay there.

Please don't f*ck up the last nice thing that we have left.[/quote]

Totally ridiculous.  Lots of people in Sarasota and also the Tampa/St. Pete area from NY NJ and other NE states plus Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan.  Only three of those are considered midwest.[/quote]

Do you know anything about the history of the area?

Flagler, the railroads, etc.?

Gulf Coast has traditionally been Midwestern (as a direct byproduct of this history), which has given it a unique character.

Don’t eff it up.

(See what’s happened to Naples over the last 30 years).

I guess according to you I already effed it up by moving here from NoVa.  Sorry!

I'm not talking about traditions, I'm talking about who actually lives here.[/quote]

I suggest finding a Midwestern mentor (a nice Minnesotan, perhaps) to show you the ropes.[/quote]

Your old stereotypes no longer fit.[/quote]
