    Jacksonville`s like anywhere else...there are some parts of town you don`t want to be in after dark. But Jacksonville has riverfront, beaches and more parks than just about anywhere in the US.



    It also has a number of very wealthy people with very nice cars that have never had their cars properly corrected. There is a huge untapped market here of insurance people, financial people and tons of pro athletes (golf and football), with cars that need someone like you.



    Plus, if you move down here, I`ll buy you an occasional drink at the Jacksonville Landing.

    I have heard it does have some good parts and bad parts. If a person has money and is willing to pay for quality then I will travel almost anywhere.



    Thanks for the drink!:spot

    IIRC the south side of Jacksonville is the nice one. Couldn`t be too sure though.



    Cape Coral`s not all bad, I`m pretty critical about it. There`s some very nice areas, but they`re not the cheaper areas. Then again, you can buy a really nice house there nowdays for prolly $200k with the housing crash and all. I moved up here to the home of the spoiled children, I mean the home of the Gators just before the crash got REALLY bad. There`s always going to be plenty of nice cars in that area, but my 2 cents is to save yourself the time(and tolls) and stay on the mainland of Fort Myers area. I really liked Bonita and Estero, convenient to get to Naples, Cape Coral, Captiva/Sanibel, wherever. It`s a newer and cheaper, yet still nicer area



    Truth be told, if FGCU had Electrical Engineering, I`d consider going back.

    Hi rydawg! I have lived in Cape Coral for three years and really love it. But I believe Sarasota has more money and full time residents. Naples has money, I agree, but it`s very seasonal. As soon as it gets warm around April the streets "roll up" and it`s very quiet until Dec/Jan. May I suggest a mobile detailing business? From Cape Coral it`s 1 hr north to Sarasota and 45 min south to Naples and 3 hrs to Miami. So you can go anywhere and those with the nice wheels would much rather have you come to their car.



    Good luck wherever you choose to go!
