I've lived in the same house since 1980, on a little 13 house cul de sac Big lot, plenty of room. Sure the neighborhood has changed, my neighbors are mostly hard working Cubans with a few of us anglos still left. Bought some property up next to my son in Inverness but am having a hard time convincing my wife to move. To be truthful and honest I love this "hood" I'm a city boy at heart, always have been, always will be.

Tough for me to convince wife to get a property there because it is so far away from us and we do not know much about the area. How do you like the area. I too am a city boy so we would need at least a few restaurants and stores in the area.

I took my Uncle Bruce to Bern's one time. He and his wife were serious about food, and I love Bern's. We were waiting in the lobby for our table, he pulled me aside and said " this looks just like a whore house I've been to in Moscow"! The red velvet walls and big overstuffed couches. That was the mid 90's. Haven't been able to get that thought out of my head every time we go to this day. The dessert room is reason to go by itself. Haven't been in a few years. Does it still live up to it's reputation?

It did last night lol. We had a great supper, everything on point. The dessert room was great as always. Of course I was too stuffed so I enjoyed an Old Forester 1920 for mine.

Reservations tomorrow night.
I'd like to hear your review of Bern's. It's on my bucket list, and we're gonna be in Tampa in November. How hard was it to get reservations?
It is still one of a kind... if you want to go in November and want a certain time on a certain day... Make it now.

My son has been there for a couple of years and we go up once a month or so. As much as I love Tampa I really really want to get out of Tampa and move to our property there BUT the wife is not on board. She's more of a city girl then I am a city boy, and that's saying a lot.

It is still one of a kind... if you want to go in November and want a certain time on a certain day... Make it now. You can't get a reservation this far out. And I thought you knew everything!!!!

I too am a city boy so we would need at least a few restaurants and stores in the area. The GF (and I) have spent the last year or so flipping houses up there. First was south of Inverness, and the second over closer to Dunellon (Citrus Springs). I think you'll like it. Still quiet enough to not have to worry too much about traffic, yet close enough to civilization to meet most needs without too much of a drive. I'd probably hold your money for a bit as prices seem to be backing off a touch, but we really enjoyed our time there. My truck fit right in, and I've become used to the sound of roosters in the morning and gunfire in the afternoon. lol

I want more acreage and less house, the wife wants the opposite. The municipality I live in Miami recently approved the use of chicken coups by residents. It did not take too long and now I hear roosters every morning. I like it.
