I’m not familiar with that part of Florida - other than it’s near Orlando.
I’d have thought this area wouls be safe being that it’s far away from the crudy areas of Orlando.
Can anyone give me some details on this area?
it used to be ‘in the country’ and was mainly redneck, small time Florida. In other words, a great part of town. Now it’s got a burgeoning black community that doesn’t care about anything except drugs.
My brother in law was a fire fighter at a Sanford station....... he said they were getting at least 30 calls a day!! It’s wild over there.
sanford like all areas has its good and bad sections. not sure which part they are talking about but in general central florida has gone down the drain. i live 40 miles from sanford in daytona and we have a large transient population. every morning when you turn on the news you hear of another murder in an area you wouldn’t have imagined.
Central Florida is mostly an armpit. The only major metro not on the ocean or gulf (ie built in the middle of a swamp) that has been attracting human garbage for the past 25 years. There are still parts of Seminole and Lake counties that are OK, to say nothing of Winter Park in Orange.
My grandparents lived there. Among my fondest summer memories are sailing on Lake Monroe and Lake Mary and visiting at the zoo. We attended the Episcopal Church. It was a nice small Southern town.
My uncle was an engineer at Canaveral with Pan Am. My grandparents came to Fl to be closer to him when they retired. They chose Sanford for its quiet small town atmosphere.
I am sorry to hear it is no longer the way I remember it.
Can anyone give me some details on this area?
County Seat! site of welfare checks, welfare programs, welfare etc. Free government money! Apply within. Every county has one (a county seat that is). All are pretty much the same. Magnet for ‘free government money’. Which makes everything else ‘free’ as well! No earning incentive required....just show up....free government money! (ps the ‘stuff’ in your car is ‘free’ also...don’t bother locking it up)
