Palm Coast, Florida SperlingViews

I moved to Palm Coast several months ago as my eldest daughter lives here with her family. I thought I was looking for a change in location and life (duh!). Having visited multiple times, I thought it was a good idea. Wonderful climate here even though I now know I miss the changing season's even the snow. What I realized is if you are a couple married or not, have children or you are retired and elderly this is a wonderful place to live. If your not any of the above, you'll not be happy. At this time there is nothing to do other than Walmart and the new Super Target strip mall. NO MiddleEastern food, no Indian cusine or a bonfide kosher deli. I can see in the future it will probably be a great place to live for the group of people such as myself when there are other things here such as Jobs, a movie theater etc. Palm Coast is growing, however it is so buccolic in the Stepford kind of setting that I've given myself no more than the first of the year to go back home. I don't see myself driving to Jacksonville everyday to work. I'm a city girl,I'm not ready to call it a day yet. Really know what your needs are before you run from whatever your running from, this city has much to offer to some but I'm not one of them yet. I'll come back to vist my daughter and family but I'm not PALM COAST MATERIAL YET!!!!
