We lived in SoFlo for 20+ before moving to Arizona. It's been tough on business here the past 3 -4 years. Yet when my wife visited South Florida just last month, she said the area looked like it's taken a worse beating than AZ. Loads of places we used to go to are just gone and there are so many empty or near empty malls it was suprising for her.
Now that's a trademark of the obama regime, but she said it was especially telling for SoFlo. Sad to think, we love Florida and didn't like leaving. Yet it's been a very good move for our family.
I can only imagine that there's an overwhelming number of business owners who are praying for a business friendly administration to take power come next year. If they can last that long.
Ironically, I accepted the transfer to here because it was BOOMING compared to our area of central Georgia. It is definitely taking a hit, but at least there is a glimmer of hope of my teenagers getting at least ONE part time job to go on an application.
