Any body from W. Palm Beach?
I might be moving to florida for a new job in Boca Raton. If I do go I want to know what you guys think of the area. About the only thing I am kind of scared of is the heat, which I have heard is terrible from time to time. what are the emission laws there? how expensive is housing? Any answer would be of tremendous help.

Thank you for the info man, I greatly appreciate it. The job is actually in Boca Raton, but with 1300 a month in rent I found W. Palm a little more liveable. Most places I found there average 700-1000 a month. This sucks consitering I am living in a 2 bedroom here in KS and paying 375.

Nice area, my mom lives in Rivera Beach.. There are some SERIOUSLY shady areas that remind me of Detroit suburbs.. but other than that, beautifull place to live. Congradulations =]

LOL...You make PSL sound like the crime capitol of the world! I moved from The Bronx, NY to PSL 3 years ago and I love it here. Havent been mugged yet and I cant seem to find those damn hookers anywhere...Can you tell me where I can get one?
Seriously though, the heat can be a real bitch in the summertime, but the rest of the year the weather cant be beat...
Now if we could just organize some of these Third Gens we have down here, that would really rock.

I'm in Broward County, city of Coral Springs (about 20min. away from Boca). I work in West Palm though.
Yeah it's nice down here, just get ready for some serious traffic and I hope your a/c works!
I haven't been to Morroso Speedway yet, but I'm going soon to get a stock beseline for the 'bird I bought a few months ago.
If you need a mechanic, I'v got some friends here in Broward that I have do all the work I'm not willing/capable of doing in my garage.
Ft. Lauderdale Beach rocks on the weekends and there are reservations here and even a Hard Rock Cafe.
Lookin' foward to seeing more third genners here!
