Boone Middle School TSA Needs Your Help. Despite what hardships or cutbacks we might be having to make right now, as Internet marketers we are truly fortunate to work in an industry that we love and supports ourselves and families.

Catch the big one from your back yard!! One of the best things about Florida is the fishin'. Large mouth bass are abundant and can be caught in just about any fresh water puddle. I caught this one right from my back yard in a Golf Course water way. It hit a plasic worm and weighed in right under 7lbs. Not quite a keeper!!! If you want to move down and join the fun check out this affordable lakefront home in Haines City Florida. Less than 30 minutes to Disney World.

 Have you ever had the opportunity to smell orange blossoms?  The wonderful aroma is very refreshing to many.  The image above was once filled with orange groves now; it is replaced by vacant land with nothing but grass, streets, light poles and dirt.  Signs of the times....after all the red tapes were cut, after all the 'T' was crossed and all the 'I' were dotted, there still has not been one home built on in this subdivision in Haines City.  This was supposed to be the next big booming town.The area had seems very promising, the builder was anticipating a large turn-out.  Many of the utilities, and roads were in place and they already had few inquiries as far as new homeowners were concern.  Then, it all changes - fallen prices, negative news reports change this landscape once again.

Haines City conveniently is located at the northern edge of the Lake Wales Ridge in Polk County, Florida.  Haines City is situated within easy reach of Orlando, which is only thirty minutes south, and Tampa, which is less than an hour's drive away.  A growing number of people who are interested in buying and owing prime real estate in Central Florida are taking a good, long look at what is available in Haines City.With less than 20,000 residents, Haines City is enjoying well paced real estate development but is avoiding the negative aspects of becoming overgrown.  Even with the well coordinated real estate development that has taken hold in Haines City over the course of the past fifteen years, the community continues to maintain the pleasant feel of a home town community.Because of its...

On Wednesday, the county commissioners voted 3-2 against a developer's request to pay no impact fees.The impact fees will affect the developers of a new shopping center near Haines City.  The developers strongly believe that the shopping center should not pay any road impact fees and should receive credit for road improvements that they did in the area which runs from Holly Hill Road to U.S. 27.County officials however, pointed out that the purpose of those new roads were for access to the shopping center rather than as an improvement to the community.What's the bottom line, developers should pay more than $263 in road impact fees.
