The Ringling Museum complex includes the 12th most valuable art museum in the US and the circus museum plus its new Tibbals Learning Center with the worlds largest (3800 sq ft.) miniature circus and the Ringling house “Ca d'Zan” (House of John) which is one of the finest great houses in America and one of the few in which all the art and furnishings you see were there when they lived there (Mable lived there until her death in 1929 and John until 1936 although he died in Nrw York.

Plan to stay a few days to ride its trolley and visit the Hemingway House and eat conch fritters and sail in old sailing ships or new catamarans and drink beer at one of the bars and restaurants Enjoy the sundown entertainment in Mallory Square. Stay at a Hyatt or Waldorf Astoria or one of many charming bed and breakfasts. Take a ghost tour or climb to the top of the light house and pose next to the marker for the Southern-most place in the US.Over on the panhandle see Destin and Pensacola. Near Clearwater see the mermaids at Weeki Watchee.There also are many springs and gardens and Bach Tower and Gatorland…and Solomon's Castle at Ona and the firstt rodeo in the US at Arcadia. The first US cowboys were in Florida.The finest collection of Tiffany art glass is at the Morse Museum in Winter Park.If you can’t find something fun ot interesting in Florida you are not a traveler. If you like cruise Florida has more cruise ports than any other stateI nearly forgot the Sharks Tooth Capital of the World at VeniceSee America first …In Florida you have great road trips, culture and beaches anf major universities and national parks like the Everglades and theater and music and low taxes tooI have been all over the world but this state has so much of what people seek in places on the other side of the world and world class hotels and dailing and fishing…Whew!

Hi Ethan. Thanks for the question. I live in Florida. I guess that any violation of laws and/or regulations described below may make one liable. Hope this may help:Florida Dog Leash Laws - County by CountyIn Florida, there are 67 counties. Most of the counties have a dog leash law in place. In Florida, there is no state mandated leash law in effect. The decision to regulate dog restraint or control is left to the county or city government. Leash laws and regulations help keep dogs under control. With proper restraints and controls, injuries to children, adults, and, yes, other pets can be reduced or prevented. It is important for a dog owner to maintain control over a dog in public places like parks, playgrounds, and sidewalks. In addition, it is important to maintain control and all safety precautions while the dog in on or near the owner's property as well as residential neighborhoods in general. With or without a dog leash law in place, a dog owner should take all necessary and reasonable steps to maintain control and possession of the dog. Unfortunately, adults and children are attacked by dogs and suffer serious personal injuries. While not all incidents and injuries can be prevented, the obeying and following the local leash laws can help reduce the incidence of dog bite attacks. While compliance with local leash laws is not a legal defense for a dog owner in a dog bite case, it is advisable to follow these laws for the safety and welfare of others and the community in general.Alachua CountyIs there a Dog Leash Law in Alachua County (Gainesville, Archer, Alachua, High Springs, and Waldo) Florida?Baker CountyIs there a Dog Leash Law in Baker County (Glen St. Mary and

All of Florida is at risk of damage from hurricanes. To minimize that risk, stay away from poorly built homes in low lying areas and avoid trailer parks like the plague.All of Florida IS a retirement zone, with many jokes about senior citizen’s driving and how they have been signalling left turn ever since the Bush/Gore election, but never managing to make the turn.You like the water, so you probably want to be in one of the coastal areas.You will find the cost of living can vary hugely. If you buy groceries at Walmart or in discount stores and keep your cost of living down, it is very inexpensive. If you like to eat out at fast food restaurants, it may be more expensive. Or if you like to eat in fine dining establishments, a LOT more expensive.About travel. The easiest way to get to Florida is to fly in. I have never landed in Orlando or Tampa or Fort Lauderdale. I will say that I have had some of the most frustrating and difficult airport experiences possible at Miami airport. Miami is one of the most congested airports in the world. It is the gateway to the Caribbean, central and south America, and sits between much of North America and Europe and those destinations. Recently coming from Columbia I got caught in a 6hr line to clear customs and simply pass through Miami airport. Missed flights and had to overnight. The length of the line was unbelievable. Literally measured in kilometres. To me, one of the benefits of living in an large city is the air travel possibilities. Those must abound in Miami. There must be huge discounts to South America, Caribbean and Europe available, the downside being the Miami airport experience.OF course, you can always drive down Interstate 95 all the way from the border between Canada and Maine to get to Florida. The coastal Route#1 also runs from Maine to Key West.I suppose that if you want to live in Florida your story might involve only occasional trips to the Miami airport.Do you have money? It’s hard to say when someone says “manageable” what their budget is. One man’s lunch may be a sandwich and soda for $10 at a lunch counter, while another’s might be fois gras starter, a nice light pasta with some tenderloin tips in a black truffle sauce, and a nice good bottle of Bordeaux, all to be had with nice white linens, a wine steward with a towel over his arm at a bargain for under $200 ( with tip) and maybe an espresso and cigar to finish off. Obviously, both can be equally satisfying, provided the right man gets the right lunch! Both are commonly available in Florida.Florida has that entire taste range. Cheap and cheerful to gut wrenching high prices.My tastes? I would like to live in a condominium in South Miami Beach, either with a view of the Atlantic, or a view of Miami proper, up on a higher floor, with a parking lot downstairs. I would take public transit anywhere I wanted to go in Miami (including the airport), and drive if I wanted to go to the Keys or elsewhere in Florida. Miami Beach is not generally a retirement community. Lots of parties, beach, restaurants, good healthcare in the area. Cost of living is reasonable compared to retiring in Manhattan or any major world city. Two or three blocks back from the eastern beach and art deco district there is quite a large Jewish community that has been there for generations. A house or a condo in that zone would be manageable, but probably not have a view. A 1,500sq ft condo with ocean view? Maybe a little more expensive.There are less pricey areas in Miami. Most of the city has huge Cuban or Central American influence, with Spanish spoken almost everywhere. English of course, is all you need. Miami is a major American city, with health and all the shopping, markets and activities you would expect. I found Miami/Miami Beach to have a very nice public transport system, both overhead rail and buses. The Brickle, Coral Gables are appealing, or Key Biscayne. None of those is cheap. Little Havana? You might find something much less expensive with lots of buzz and entertainment, good food, markets, and hand rolled local cigars, but not near the water. It all depends on what you want and what you like.Really highway I95 runs up the eastern seaboard of Florida, and all the cities more or less run together along the water, at least in the south.Fort Lauderdale is on that coastal strip. It is a retirement community, sometimes referred to as “God’s waiting room”. Also a big Jewish community. It is somewhat less expensive, but I’m not sure I’d want to be there. A few years ago you could get a VERY nice condo in an aging development for as little as $20–30,000, if you were over age 65. This might tell you about the demographic. Of course, regular people not imported retirees live in Ft. Lauderdale there too. But, you plan to be an imported retiree. There is a large boating community in Fort Lauderdale. I don’t know Hollywood, Boca Raton, Palm Beach. In that zone, probably varying wildly in price depending on your neighbours and neighbourhood. St. Augustine, Daytona and then Jacksonville would be at the northern end of the Florida portion of I95, probably less expensive than some of the more southern cities. It’s about 350 miles from Jacksonville to Miami, or a 5hr drive.Other cities, not on that strip?Tampa is (in my opinion) boring, more industrial and so is less expensive. Orlando has the whole Disney World and Universal Studio buzz, and is bid up in price as a result, and it is not on the coast. They have good facilities, I’m not sure if I was moving to Florida if I’d pick Tampa or Orlando or the panhandle. I have the impression that they are quite Republican and right wing.On the west cost, or Gulf Cost, are Sarasota, Fort Myers, Coral Gables, Naples. They are said to be very nice, and reasonable. I have no first hand experience. They are all on the coast. Some areas there have planned retirement communities. Again, marinas and water views available, good healthcare.South of Miami, the Keys are fun, but quite right wing and full of developments that flood in every hurricane, and that always have. See the movie Key Largo with Bogart as an example. The communities are entertaining, but the place is called the “Conch Republic” for a reason. Many gun stores and some places only take cash to avoid the authority of the Feds. Maybe not so good for an immigrant or a “not white” person.Key West is a tourist town. They have a large group of regular gay visitors and it was the gay hot spot of the south until the Aids/HIV crisis wiped out a lot of Key West movers and shakers. Sad, but true. The island has recovered, but it isn’t the gay magnet it was in the 1980s. That’s almost a generation ago. As it is still a tourist economy there are a lot of guest properties and condos. It is a nice place with lots going on. I like Key West simply because it’s old, but still alive, tropical and you feel so free there - straight or gay. The liberal attitudes in Key West might suit someone who is “not white”. In my experience liberal attitudes towards people with differences tend to be quite broad, even if the differences are in orientation, colour or country of origin. Key West would have a hospital, but if you had serious difficulties you probably would be evacuated to Miami. As for affordability? Probably less expensive to live safely but modestly in Key West than in Miami Beach. You will have hurricanes, but there’s no need to be in a trailor park or in a drywall house on the beach.This I have gleaned from a few visits to Florida and folk legends. I certainly am not a Floridian. I do live in a place with hurricanes, and can vouch that they are not always disasters if you have a little elevation, a strong building, and don’t mind pandemonium for a few days.I think your best approach would be to take a few visits to Florida and find a good real-estate person in each of the areas you consider. Tell them your budget for housing, and ask them about cost of living. They will help you find a place that suits your needs and desires.Good luck!
