They stole 600 outboards

This place is right down the street from my barbershop.

If you don't know.. Doral is rather upscale industrial and business area with some residential areas and known for Trump National Golf Resort, Cruise line HQs, a Federal Reserve, a military HQ, feds and police.... and also lots of warehouses and "logistics" companies, money laundering, Medicare fraud, illegal minerals from South America, illegal traffiking of animals, human trafficking, and now apparently... boat motors.

It's like Disneyland for criminal networks and scams as long as you speak Spanish. If you speak Russian you need drive 10 miles east.

Honest question here. What’s the draw to living in Broward and Dade counties? Weather and proximity to the Gulf Stream? Seems to be overcrowded with illegals, Yankees and a whole lot of crime. I know when I go to the keys I get on the turnpike in Ft. Pierce and don’t get off until Florida city. I don’t want anything to do with SE Florida.

Weather is fantastic but it's also where the job is. However, there are way too many people here for my liking. Someone offers me a better job in a better location (good weather, good fishing, no/cheap taxes) and I'll call the moving truck tomorrow.

My pattern of life is supported by the Turnpike or Alligator Alley. There is never a need get a on I-95 or ever go into the heart of Miami.

My retirement plan calls for either coastal FL but further north or coastal SC. I won't retire in SE FL but I could retire in the Keys, Though the wife would go crazy long term in the Keys.

One advantage of SE FL though is I can fish 365-days a year either inshore, reef, or offshore in the Atlantic, Gulf, or Keys on any given weekend depending on wind speed and wind direction.

Don’t bother coming to SC. We aren’t far behind Florida on the Yankee importation. Not to mention all of the tacky Ohioans. There’s no secret southern coastal towns anymore.

It's funny you said Ohioans. I grew up in NC and everytime we drove down to Myrtle Beach in the 80s and 90's, every damn girl we met was from Ohio. I swear every damn one! Then we went to Panama City Beach one year and the girl I met... was from Ohio.

You would think as much as they like the beach, they would just move there at some point.
