I wouldn't see any appeal to Orlando. Maybe one of the nice areas on the Gulf I hear about?

Both my sister and her husband work from home, and they chose to settle down in an Atlanta exurb (Canton, way up north in Cherokee County). Almost all of their neighbors are northern transplants, and I'm guessing there are plenty of nice neighborhoods around any southeastern cities that are similar. Certainly better people to rub elbows with.

Also, I'm guessing you'd be a little more likely to find a new client if you were in the orbit of one of those cities than Orlando or any smaller place in FL.

Given Amazon is building a distribution center here in GR

I think we should step in and make another offer for their HQ. And they have recently contracted with a local distributor for some of their food distribution I believe.

GR is so much nicer than it was when I was growing up (70's). It has it's issues (public transportation, etc). But over all it is a great place close to some of the nicest scenery in the state. An only an 1 hour and 40 minutes from ND.

I spend a few days a year in GR

Seems nice. Upbeat downtown.

What is that crazy huge grey castle like building south of town?

I call it our future penal facility

I drive by it everyday. It's an Apartment / Retail complex built by the family of our former Secretary of State - Terri Lynn Land. I can't imagine actually wanting to live there. but hey, it has a Lion on top!
