Hello! I am a Florida native who now lives in NC! We moved to NC due to husband being employed with NASCAR.
I was born and raised in Pensacola, FL or better known as LA - Lower Alabama. The Gulf Coast is a great place.
You can check out their newspaper at PNJ.com to get ideas on life style. My sisters still live in P'cola and one day we will move back too. I love NC but miss the family. My older sister moved back to FL from Asheville NC due to her RA too! There is a Great Fabric shop in Pensacola called A&E Drugstore! YEP a drugstore on one side and a Fabulous Fabric, craft and quilting store on the other side. To any one who knows about Mary Jo's in Gastonia, NC
this is a smaller version of that! Good luck where ever you decide! Let us know where you end up!
