Hi Mary Ellen! We definitely are not like NYC but we do have some great options. Right here in Sarasota we have the Asolo, Van Wezel, and the Sarasota Opera House. In Tampa there are even larger venues. Then within a 90 minute drive there are probably 8+ local theaters. Three within 30 minutes to where I live in Sarasota. I love going to the theater!
I would add Selby Garden and Mote Marine Aquarium as two great attractions in the area. SMH is a good hospital but overall Florida is not a great state for the best medical care. I know people who keep their homes up North for medical care even though they have homes in Florida.
Yes! Selby and Mote are great! They would have been good mentions. Maybe when it comes to medical it depends on a person's needs. My parents lived down here, moved up north for 7 years, and then came back. When they came back, they kept their northern doctors for a while. They would make appointments when they were planning to visit my sister. They did that for a couple of years until they found a doctor here. And then it took months to get an appointment so they could establish themselves as a patient. Thanks for watching and the great comment!
I had to look up both - LOL! ...Yes, Yankees is in Tampa. There are other spring training facilities in Florida. I did not know who Candi is. Nope, no relation. 😎 It looks like they are just over the border from Toledo in Michigan. That is funny tho!!!
Thanks for the great information... Can you tell me something about jobs ( construction , decor, events? ) I'm living in New Jersey and I would like to move soon. 🤗
Hi Nathali! Thanks for watching. There is a wide variety of jobs here. Construction is huge. Lots of building. Many places are looking for workers (like most of the country right now). There is a huge need in the service industry. The medical field is also very important to the area. Landscaping is also big here as we need to mow and maintain the yard year round. Honestly, I think that anyone who is a hard worker and honest can go very far - some sort of skill or at least a teachable spirit, you can do almost anything. There is a good chunk of people here with money (and often only here part time), so if you can think of anything to be of help to them (home watch service, interior design, cleaning, landscaping, etc) you can make money.
Good to know that the sand never get hot,thanks for all the info.
Yes!!! It is so nice. Cool and like baby powder. This is the ONLY beach like this. The sand is made of quartz. 🏖
Very helpful to know re the culture in particular. Just yesterday some one ask me if I would miss the theater ( in NYC)

Love this! Thank you for all the information.
+Autumn Ridley No problem! I am glad you find it helpful. Thanks for watching. 😎
Yankees spring training also :)
Are you related to Candi from Our Family Nest? She’s from right around Toledo and you have some similarities.

I currently live in TN and looking to relocate for a possible job opportunity.
+Autumn Ridley That is exciting. Let me know if you have any questions.
