I was born in Miami in 1957 and moved to HIghlands County in 1987, where I've lived for the last 34 years. I love it here. We're glad you came to visit. Thank you for sharing our sweet City on the Circle with the world.

My grandma and grandpa settled there after they retired in Ohio. They both met at Wright Patterson Air Field in the 1940's. They loved to play golf and we're attached at the hip. I have fond memories of it in my youth.

I wondered how they were going to hype up that cemetery of a mall. wasn't surprised that that segment was over as quick as it was. I live right next to the place and I never go in there, there's no point.

I have lived in many places in Florida including South Florida and Central FL. Also have lived all over Philadelphia, PA. I have found Sebring fl to be the most tranquil place to live. I have lived here almost 10 years on and off. I can probably spend the rest of my life here. 😀
