      Adorable neighborhood in Fort Myers. Safe and many houses located right on the water so plenty to do.

      As the economy is recovering in Florida, the local businesses can't be expected to be top notch. I've noticed there is a lot of corruption in the larger branches(such as Taco Bell: embezzlement), but the mom-and-pop type shops are usually quite honest and have friendly staff.
      Fort Myers, FL is a town of only 60,000 and we don't have a ton of variety of anything. We do have a great focus on seafood, being by the coast. One really great seaside restaurant is Doc Ford's. They have delicious food, and are quite popular.
