Arcadia, Florida

Greg had a meeting in Arcadia last Tuesday and fortunately I wasn't working the day after so I tag along. We stayed in the new Holiday Inn Express Hotel on Desoto Avenue just beside the new Walmart (did you notice, everything here is new). Arcadia is a small town in Desoto County about 2 ½ hours drive from Jupiter, voted to be the best small town in the whole Florida. As to the criteria, I have no idea. Anyway, while Greg was in his meeting, I wandered about the neighborhood. I can tell that I will really like the place. I explored Main and Oak St., where you can find rows of antique shops just waiting to be discovered, and old Victorian houses that speak loudly of how rich the town was once. This is a very simple unassuming town and I am looking forward to being part of it. After Jupiter, Arcadia will be our next new home starting early December.
