Description
North Port, Florida is in the midst of transitioning from a sleepy retirement town to a metropolis, and I happen to live right here in the center of it.
The focus of this blog will be on life in North Port and the rest of Southwest Florida. I likely will not be following City Commission meetings, lecturing or getting heavily involved in the politics of this town. Instead, my blog will be a first-person account of what walking into the Wal-Mart here is like. What do I see, what do I smell, what do I hear? I also, on the occasion, might delve into the topic of our changing media. Afterall, the industry is changing at a rapid pace.
