Bartow, Winter Haven and Lakeland FL are better choices with less crime.

Better in what ways?

[@theoriginalfuzzlemutt7526]

Well, you still have to go to Winter Haven to get the premium restaurants, also idiots in Lake Wales speed down the city streets such as 9 Street south of burns avenue really needs speed humps installed. BADLY

[@theoriginalfuzzlemutt7526]

Now here's a town you can drive 45 mph down a 25 mph residential street and never get caught. 9th st off of burns avenue. The official town speedway.
