Thanks for moving me Fr_Chuck.
I am curious about the Gainesville, Florida area. I'd appreciate hearing from people who live in this area who can tell me first hand, what to expect and what the nearby towns are like. My husband's work has an opening for Gainesville. I lived in Ocala from 1972-73 and also took trips to Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and the Keys. But Gainesville I only visited briefly, when I saw a concert at the Gator Bowl

So as you can see, I don't have a clue.
Thanks in advance.
