Wildwood is a part of the "real" Florida. Yes, it is poor. Yes, there is crime. But unlike most of us in our beautiful bubble in TV, many inhabitants of Wildwood have never lived elsewhere.

We love Cotillion and one of the service stations removed our old license plates at no charge (it was corroded on) and put on the new ones. The people I have met there are warm and friendly.

I grew up in a depressed part of Mass - so I see a place where we can help by shopping, eating, attending church, volunteering.

drr47 - thanks for calling us out.
