…but then you’re on your own.
Orlando is very involved with their image, which is understandable. They are one of the world’s favorite travel destinations, after all… the entire area is full of ‘product’. Looking good for visitors is simply part of the package.
City commissioners have turned their attention to shopping carts in the [...]

From Arthur, because I must be an idiot for listening to our insurance agent:
If you navigate to My Safe Florida Home you can apply for a FREE wind mitigation inspection paid for by the taxpayers.
Oh, yeah… my agent will hear of this. I don’t like chucking $150 out the door when I could have [...]

South Florida officials are spending $100,000 [to start with] over the next year to study the threat of climate change… though they’re cutting back on nonessentials like police and park service.
The South Florida Water Management District’s long-term plans once anticipated the sea level rising about 1 foot by 2100, but more recent projections say the [...]
