Would you want to live in Lakeland?

This past Friday, my husband and I drove to Lake Mirror after dinner to listen to good music, stroll around the lake, enjoy a beautiful sunset and close out this great evening with Fireworks. While relaxing sitting on the bench, we've met this nice couple from up north, who come to Lakeland to escape the cold weather climate and the snow from October through April to enjoy this beautiful weather and the great atmosphere Lakeland has to offer when they put on shows like this. So we sat there and talked about everything, such as news, Lakeland, arts, children, and even politics. My very first blog I wrote that I Love Lakeland and this blog emphasize that Lakeland has so much to offer despite being a small town with it's arts, crafts, botanic garden, the many lakes, museum, parks, theaters and entertainment - even ice skating in Winter - no it doesn't snow here and the lakes don't freeze.

So why would you not want to live in Lakeland?

I took some pictures I'd like to share with you for you to see that Lakeland, FL is a great city to live in, centrally located between Orlando and Tampa and is only hopscotch away from all major attraction.

Petra- Lakeland is a great city to live in. We can get to Tampa or Orlando in about an hour from here and we are 1 1/2 hours from the Gulf of Mexico.
