Sure, there are a couple of spots WEST of the Tracks and North of 44 that need some attention, for various reasons...... BUT...LOTS of very nice people live there and are proud of their heritage and are good, hard working and decent people.

Wildwood is nowhere near as bad as some other small and Medium cities in Florida.



IMHO, given time.... Wildwood will become a much more vibrant city.
The LOCATION is PERFECT for future growth.....MANY Major Highways, Major Railway Connections, good people, lots of land and a forward thinking government.

IF I were young again...Wildwood would be an investment opportunity getting my attention.

Please....do not judge a book by it's cover.....
I agree 100% with mrfixit. I have felt from the beginning that the proximity of TV to Wildwood can only help and improve Wildwood. Wildwood already has at least one Outstanding restaurant (Cotillion). a very clever and interesting gift shop (Red Door), a wonderful Ace Hardware store, and our beautiful new Library and Community Center. That's already more than a lot of small towns have. Wildwood used to have Amtrak passenger service - I would love to see that come back. I am excited about the future of Wildwood. More businesses will bring more jobs, and more jobs will bring a measure of prosperity and a decrease in the kinds of crimes that are rooted in poverty and desperation.
