many people from NYC, LI, NJ, PA would drive to South Florida for vacation
As they aged - many moved to South and Central Florida
Then many of those stated spending summers in the cool mountains of WNC
As the economy changed under Jimmuh Cahtuh many then sold out (prices in FL went up after Cahtuh was booted out by Reagan) or rented their Florida properties and bought a home in Brevard or Hendersonville and played shuffleboard and went to the Asheville Mall
Unfortunately many of the snowbirds were libs - and many also union peeps
WNC has a great all-year-round temp and lots to do and has been a growth area for industries - as SC has -
State income tax - but lots of opportunities and a beautiful area for recreation, hunting, fishing, and bow hunting wild turkeys
(those guys are good with a bow!)
The blasted libs ruined NH, VT, WA, OR, and are determinded to turn the rest of the states into liberal dumpsters and union scam states

Thank you for the explanation. There are so many FReepers who have moved back and forth too. We get tons of snowbirds from way north of us but most of us don’t move north to those cold, cold states, lol.
