Moving back to FL, need some recommendations plz...? -

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL, and my husband is from Brooklyn, NY, but he s lived in FL for years, and we met and got married in FL. We are currently in SLC, Utah, and we just have to get back to FL. We are hoping to be able to move back around August 2010. We originally just assumed that we were going back to Jacksonville, and while we love Jacksonville, after several talks about this, we both think it might be nice to move somewhere completely new. We have both been to south FL, and many years ago I stayed with someone in Plantation for about 6 months. We both like south FL and we are thinking that we might like to live somewhere around the Miami area. I know Jacksonville very well, like I said, I was born and raised there. So, if we do decide to move back to Jacksonville, I know the areas that we would be looking for a house in. But, when it comes to south FL, I don t know much at all. I do know that Miami/Dade has a pit bull ban, and my husband and I own and love American Pit Bull Terriers! My dream is to one day open a pit bull rescue, if that s ever possible for us, so we cannot actually live in Miami/Dade. So, here is some of what we are looking for in an area..1 - Like I said, we own and love pit bulls , so it has to be a pit bull friendly area. 2 - We would like to stay fairly close to the coast. If we can stay within a 30 minute drive to the beach, that would be great.3 - We would like to stay close to shops, restaurants, etc. We definitely don t want to be out in the middle of no where. 4 - We do not have children yet, but we do plan to have children in the near future, so we would like to be close to a good school, or good schools.5 - We are not millionaires.. we haven t figured out what our price range will be for sure yet, but I know for a fact we will be looking for something around $200,000. I know that definitely won t get us much, especially not in south FL, but it s our first place, and we don t need anything big. Also, we don t have to have a single-family/detached home. Thought that would be nice, we are fine with condominiums, duplexes, etc. So, we can t be looking in more expensive areas. Anyway, like I said, we have a while before we move (we don t have to move in August 2010, if we need more time we can do that). Right now I am just starting to really get into this and start looking at different areas. And again, because I am from north FL and know nothing about south FL, I am already feeling a little overwhelmed. Basically I just want to see if anyone has any cities/areas/neighborhoods they would recommend that fit what we are looking for. Obviously I will have to check into more things than what I listed above, but I just need somewhere to start, then I can start really doing some research and narrow everything down. I don t want to just look at a map and pick out random areas if I don t have to, I d really like to see if there are any nice areas that people think might fit what we are looking for. Sorry this was so long, but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Tampa Bay area. We are Pit Bull friendly over here, my dear. There are many Pit clubs and social events in this area. And there are many foreclosed houses. Take advantage of that.Welcome when you get here.

Help with zip codes please? -

ok im trying to order att internet and im really confused. first off, i live in a really wierd neighborhood because the zip codes are so weird. it looks like thishttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q source=s��my apartments are where the (A) is. as you can see, the street is separated by the the highway FM 529(which is just a big road not really a highway at all) but here is the problem. that whole neighborhood(it has a wal-mart, target, food town, 2 gamestops, and a slew of other stores) uses the zip code 77095. only those 3 backstreets that im on (sommerall and smithstone and lakeview haven) use 77084 that whole area back ther is no bigger than a high school(the majority of it is just land). so my dilemma is that when i enter my address whit 77084, i can go to all the way to about the second to last page where they do a credit check and then it says it s unable to process my order online, but when i enter my my zip code as 77095 everything goes fine and i can go all the way to the final steps and everything and pay for my order(i haven t paid yet because this is confusing). so do i go by 77095 or what because they send the installtion kit through the mail and i know zip code is everything. i m so confused and i don t want to get my info screwed up. oh and my apartments are the only apartments with the name they have in the 77095 or 77084 area codes if that makes a difference

You want to know which zip code the US Postal Service is using, because it s important that USPS be able to get the package to you.The post office has set up a Web site where you can find out what zip code they use for you. Go to http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp Type in your address, city and state, then use whatever zip code comes up. If it comes up as 77095, use 77095. If it comes up as 77084, you need to call the company and talk to them.

att may have the entire complex listed under the 77095 zip code. trust me, when the technician goes out, he will figure it out. also, make sure you have a good telephone # on phile for them to contact you in case they have any problems finding you place.

Cleveland 11/24/09The expression: The Buck stops, here,..!?!This be the Zip codes. East of main South of Broad may be 12345. West of Main North of Broad may be 12370. Aaaahh,..?!?!! Makes sense,.? The reason they do not end a Zoneand begin the next Zone with the next higher number - could cause confusion,.. If the mailsorters look at a Zip, they are thinking the general area,..North of the city or South of the city,.Sure,..they could figure the next street over,..or is it the next street over,..or down,..??Maybe, the address could be five streets over and five streets down,..It would be safe tothink that a good mental collect of the streets and their areas,..If that be all why bother with the Zips at all,..Sooo,..the only question would be where is 12345 located,..the carrierneeds only to remember his route,..No problems,..the letters and other mails gets delivered,..Eliasis Yahwehei ( The Main Man )
