Sebring is on the map. Kinda...

Magazine ranks Sebring third among small towns in Florida

We even can't be best of that...

That guy there is Lenny. He just attended his AA meeting and he's waiting for his friend to come by who hopefully just bought a pack of cigarettes. If his buddy just got his VA check, the cigarettes won't have to be generic either.
Then they'll walk over to the Library and use the computers.

That small town feeling is one reason why Cities Journal ranked Sebring as No. 3 of the top 16 small cities in Florida. Key West was ranked No. 1 and Bonita Springs was No. 2.

After Sebring on the list the cities, listed in order, are: Key Largo, Destin, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Marathon, Naples, Daytona Beach, The Villages, Safety Harbor, Vero Beach, Fort Myers and Dunedin

Well, I can say I've been to all of the top three as well as four of the rest.

Too many junk cars in the back yards.........

Now that was funny.

It seems if you do NOT have a Martin luther King Jr. Boulevard on your town, you made the list.

But at 740,000 residents, I don't see small town anywhere in West Palm.

Sebring is cool because if there is a race going on, there is something to do. And thee is always a race going on.

LMFAO. So timely. Avon Park, next to Sebring, is currently all afire because the Board is hell bent to get some street, any street, named for MLK. Every White person says "Not my street or I'm moving" to every Black person saying "Only if it's your biggest and most traveled boulevard."

Sebring has had a MLK Ave. for quite a while. The only place that everybody could agree was the the shittiest little street in the shittiest part of Sebring that the cops are afraid to go into. Unless they take the most circuitous route around it, which 98% of the people do, you have to take MLK to the only junkyard in the County. You really, really are new here if you end up on it.

Lovely town, used tah park the K-DUBYAH rite across the street from the Holiday Inn, take my Holiday Inn green printed towel and crash to pool and sip Margaritaz 'til I couldn't see straight.

I made friends with a lot lizzard once.
I had a regular long distance overnight drop and pick that was boring as crap.
Salvation was a scenic Service Plaza mid way down where I could relax for a half hour and unwind looking out at the 11:00 PM bustle you see at that hour. Very insightful and relaxing.
One night in the cold rain a LL came up and asked if I wanted a date. I told her no thanks. In all my career, I never dated once. I swear, Jer. She looked like a drowned, sad, pathetic, rat. She asked if she could use my CB. How could I say no. Poor kid needed a break so I let her hop in and do her broadcast. My 1/2 hour was up and I told her to leave.
The next night, the weather was drier but the routine was the same.
The third night she had my coffee and Little Debby waiting in hand when I pulled in.
This continued until I got pulled off the run.
And every night ended with a "sure you don't wanna?' and a "no thanks and a <smile>".
I miss that coffee.
You can't get that slice of life in an office cubicle.

I waz down for the nite W/ ah O.D. wide 'N high in Fredrick, Md. and watch two driverz cut each other up with beer bottlez over an L.L. one time. Never could figger that one out. 'Specially 'cuz she waz there tryin' to break 'um up and she looked like ah Real Sweat Hawg!....Had my wife and daughter with me one time on a 3 week turn around from Mi. to Bellingham,Wa. to Costa Mesa, Ca. and back to Mi. We rolled into Sacromento way after dark one nite and by the time I got backed into ah hole there waz ah knock on the door. I knew rite away what that ment but the wife said to me "who can that be this time of nite. I said I don't know but let me check so I rolled down the window and looked down at this little blond that had flipped up her haulter top and waz holdin' the bigest set of hooterz I'd ever layed eyez on and she ask me if I'd like to play with those for ah while. I said I don't know but let me ask my wife and I turned to ask her and never got the wordz out. The mother of our child waz leaning over the dowg house so far she waz hangin' in my lap with her head polked out the window usin' wordz on that little blond that I didn't know she even knew. 'Yah ever see anybody jump straight up and after their up they do ah 180* spin and have their feet movin 'so fast when the make contack with the ground their legz are just ah blurr? Nuff storiez for ah while, I gotta stop laughin' or that lady that I'm so lucky to still spend my life with iz gonna wanna know whatz so dam funny, Jer

My parents had a winter place in Sebring.

My dad liked it there since it was the cheapest place in Florida to live as a senior.

My mom didn't like it there.. Said old people moved there to die!!

What's your story Stan??

I came here to Paradise to enjoy life like I never had before.
Can you think of a better thing to do while waiting to die?
Like you're not going to die?
I waiting to die and never been happier. I'm in The Garden of Eden.
Says so in the Tattoo on my left arm.
You want to work all your life, retire on Friday, put up with yet another Blizzard on Saturday and Sunday, and die on Monday?
Think about it.
