No fun in the sun

Ocala,Fl has been hit very hard by the reccession, I have lived here for four years now and have found the people very unfriendly and on edge, As far as customer service or local business deals go a good deal of the local population seems to be challenged, I have seen several large factory's close there doors and now the smaller Mom & Pop operations seem to be following suit, There are still plenty of fine restaurants and local attractions to keep you occupied though, Ocala seems to be like most of florida where the gated communities are very nice, Just do not go beyond the fence... You will really see the red and blue divide in Ocala, to sum it up cost of living soaring ,Crime rate rising, bussiness closing down, school budget shot, I personally believe I have been here about four years too many,
