OK. Has terrible traffic especially during the winter months and this area would highly benefit from some new interstate highways, lack of real attractions, things to do or good nightlife for the younger crowd and a lot of suburbian sprawl. Too many old people. Too spread out. The true city limits is very ghetto and high crime, although the downtown is slowly revitalizing itself. Also on the bright side there are some beautiful beaches within a good proximity (sanibel island, naples, marco island, siesta key and others), great weather, any store you could ever look for as is common from any huge metropolis yet it is clean and not a real big city area. Not a real far drive from Tampa, Sarasota or Miami. This place has potential but with its economy crippled, it will take longer for any improvements to happen.
