I will start by saying that I absolutely love Florida. But I must say that after 63 years of living in the Midwest in a very large city I have fond memories. A different type of life for sure. Here are things that I had fond memories of.
1. Traveling to the Art Institute
2. Traveling to the large Museums
3. Little Italy, Chinatown, Greektown, Polish, German and Mexican restaurants everywhere.
4. The beauty of trees and leaves changing colors.
5. The sounds and hustle and bussel of airports, subway trains and freight trains.
6. Watching 10 inches of snow come down on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years Eve night
7. Waiting for the Good Humor Ice Cream truck to come down the street .
8. Annual Block Parties.
9. Adults sitting on their front porches at night with many neighbors.
10. And finally driving along Lake Shore Drive for 30 miles, 20 Feet from Lake Michigan and seeing hundreds of sail boats and yachts in the water as far as your eye can see.
I am now in a new chapter of my life and Love Florida but had a great life.
