Stranded in Lake Wales, Florida. I helped a client of mine to sell her mobile home in Baltimore County just a couple of years ago so that she could relocate to Lake Wales, Florida. It was a quick and easy sale. After a couple of years in Florida, she is ready to return to the land of pleasant living (That's Maryland in case you were wondering.) Having a hurricane blow off half of your roof can do that to you. But after nearly 8 months on the market and after cutting the price in half, she has no offers. She has an okay 2 bedroom and 2 bath 1986 mobile home located just about 20 to 25 miles east of Tampa and just about 20 miles south of Orlando.  I thought that Florida had a hot sellers' market like most of the rest of the country. What's going on in Florida?   09/14/2023

I had received the email yesterday that The Chalet Suzanne will be retiring on or about August 4th.  It has been a landmark restaurant in central Florida for more than eight deades and I've been its fan since 1969.  That's before there was a Walt Disney World as its northern neighbor.  Generally,  I'm a meat & potatoes person but will indulge into the exotic once in a while.  This rare and remotely located Inn has been a favorite stop whenever I travel near its doors.  They'll serve the finest breakfasts, lunches and dinners found anywhere.  My first eggs benedict was consumed here, my first duck l'orange, first crepe' suzette, although they may have called them "suzannes" if my memory is correct.   Whether driving there or flying there the excitement was everpresent because I knew that... 07/05/2014

Pedestrian Tales From the Middle of the Road, #33   Here's yet another tragic incident on our roadways- the 3rd such one in the past couple of days.  Criticizing the dead is a touchy subject, and surely makes some uncomfortable.  It's hard not to do so in these cases, though- where willful actions of the pedestrians serve to sentence motorists that follow the rules of the road to years upon years of unnecessary misery without benefit of a trial. While generally a great representative of law enforcement and true asset to the community, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd's falling in line with the majority of local law enforcement folks in not enforcing pedestrian traffic laws has surely contributed to (and fostered) an environment that allows folks to breach motorists' right of way and simpl... 08/13/2012
