South Dakota...here we come.
I love Farmington NM. Lived there in 1954-1956 and 1973-1977. To the North is the San Juan mountains and La Plata mountains, Durango, Silverton railroad, and Pagosa Springs.
Should have bought the house I rented back then, when it went up for sale for $19,000.
Wish I was there now.
Get in line, I was here first, lol.
I’ve got Los Pollos Hermanos.
Que’ tiene cabron?!?...
People who live in an even more crappy state i.e. California.
And they’re bringing lots of cash and buying up the real estate!
“I live in the #2 fastest growing area in the country. It feels like it and I don’t like it.”
We might live nearby. I live in Nokomis.
The brutal Northern weather up north has made me glad to be here again.
The main problem with growth is traffic. I’ve seen far more serious ‘accidents’ in the past few years.
I used to enjoy driving here but the last 5-10 years I get road rage every time I get behind the wheel. Too many people for this area and they keep building more housing. It’s going to be like LA bumper to bumper traffic soon. I75 is regularly bumper to bumper already in the morning southbound and bumper to bumper 3pm-7pm northbound all the way past Bradenton
Been here since 1988. It was a nice slow paced town back then. I could drive to Siesta Key from east of the interstate in under 10 minutes back then, Less traffic lights, not it would take 30-45 minutes easy, guaranteed to stop at every light and feels like we’re being herded like cattle instead of driving on the open road.
