    Exactly--same reason--we have lost so many of the old good one's here in Fla--that and it pays more to grow condo's than cornfields!--#### Shame

    Couldn't agree with you more!! Living in Florida for fifteen years and watching the population grow and grow really puts a damper on why I moved there in the first place: relatively low people per square mile in my part of Brevard County. But it's grown so fast! And land is not cheap, either, unless you want to build in the swamp.

    I like the T/A in Mt. Vernon MO. (x46 on I-44), they have a good buffet, and the staff is very friendly. I also like the Russel's in NM {free wi-fi, good selection of products and gifts, and an old car museum}
