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.
Spot on. I used to live in Apopka and had business in Sanford on many occasions. It was a nice and friendly small town.
But as Orlando grew it syphoned off business from Sanford and it started a downhill roll. Property values decreased and crime rose.
I don’t blame those folks for arming and taking care of themselves. The chief sounds a bit too cautious to me.
