I wonder what Florida movers are up to
Florida movers makes me think of a few things. Oranges, mostly (they might be the state fruit? They’re on the Florida license plate). My grandparents. Palm trees. Orange orchards. Retirement communities. My brother works as a mover in Florida, and I wonder if it’s different than any other state. Bunch of transplanted New Yorkers who move in for the rest of their lives? Snowbirds in their touristy houses? Suburban sprawl just like everywhere else, but ever so slightly tackier? Has anybody tried to move their orange trees? What’s the competition like? Does anybody actually live on the panhandle? Can I pay my brother to do it?
