Heard the same about NYC, Boston, DC and some other places and not for NOTHING.

My Dad had the choice of Reno, Nevada or Honolulu, HI as promotions from Milwaukee. He chose Reno, Nevada. He had had his fill of Hawaii before the send him to Korea after the Korean War had ended. He was an Army medic in a M.A.S.H. Unit.

Met an interesting woman in 2017 or so who works here in the Villages as an Alzheimers specialist. She had been working in some kind of psychiatric hospital in Leesburg and subbing a lot of places as an on loan nurse. Before all that she was a combat nurse in Iraq. Tough lady. I see her sporadically.
