Extremely Dissapointed

I am new to the Cape Coral, coming from Myrtle Beach S.C. I moved here because my husband has been here working for about 2 years,and his work remains consistant here. Not in Myrtle beach. So I decided to re-unite our family. I couldn't be more dissapointed in living here. I live in Nw, definitely not the prettiest area. More like a ghost town with tons of abandon homes, no beautful landscaping,no children playin about outside,and you'll never see neighbors outside talking. A trend I have noticed throught all of Cape Coral.This "Florida Lifestyle" couldn't be more opposite of what I've come from or even close to what I was looking for.And in a typical day here, you rarely see people smiling,if you go to a store your lucky if the cashier even looks up at you, let alone say Hi. Though I have chose to maintain my southern hospitality rather than convert to this. As for driving, I'd rather stay home, just a bunch of people in a hurry and just about slamming you out of the way. I'm definitely not feeling any type of paradise here. And outside of restaurants there's not much else to do. Coming from a resort town with 100's of things to do, I did anticipate this hurdle. But I never anticipated the rudeness from people or the "my face will break if I smile attitude". So as I said, I have chosen to remain polite and not become any part of this way of life I consistantly see.And hopefully I will make it back to my true paradise,sooner than later! As we say in South Carolina, we have smiling faces and beautiful places!!! Oh I so miss my home sweet home!
