Default I Can't Find

I can't find is a reoccurring theme here. I'll name something I miss and if you know where to find it speak up.

I miss beefsteak/big boy tomatoes. Your turn

A barber who will buzz my hair then shave my head. Been doing this for 25 years in NJ no problem but can't find any barber in our area too do this. The Barber shops in our area are much safer thought. Buzz and Shave in a Non Hip Hop Barbershop.

A deep, cool, refreshing lake we can swim in.....without worrying about bacteria or alligators.

A houseboat where we could wake up and see the mist on the water and the fish jumping.

A soaking bathtub. Can't even find a hotel with one around here.

A true farmer's market. I know I'm spoiled but if you're going to sell produce, make it fresh from YOUR farm, not fresh off a truck in Orlando.

Sometimes miss snow. Been in Florida since 1996 now with only a Spring trip to freezing El Paso, Texas in 2001 and one week to DC in May 2015 where we sweated a lot.

A real "Open 24 hours" diner. Could find one at nearly every intersection back in Pennsylvania/New Jersey. Very strange getting used to "diners" here in FL that close by 3pm.

You're describing Ontario, Canada - come on up.
You can rent a houseboat on a cool refreshing lake; the Canadian dollar is at a discount!

Elevation of more than 400 feet. I grew up surrounded by mountains in Reno, Nevada and a nice sized hill is even hard to find in Florida.

For the Villages, a Boston Market would be nice.

Real dim sum, where they roll it around on carts or bring it around on trays. Chinese markets, where you can buy a whole fish and lots of vegetables for very cheap. Good Indian food.
