Reply to "Poll: Do you live here? Did? From here? And where are you now?"

Florence is my hometown. I was born and raised there, graduated from Coffee in 1991, Graduated from UNA, and moved to Nashville, TN in 2002. My parents are from The Shoals, and my parents' families are from The Shoals, since the late 1800's. I had to move because there are absolutely no jobs in The Shoals area for young professionals, unless you are in management for a retail store or a restaurant. Now, I wouldn't move back unless I had to due to family situations. There is nothing to do (not even for college aged students), and nowhere to work. I would really impress upon the leaders of The Shoals area to start trying to attract companies that can hire recent college graduates other than large hotels, golf courses, and retail outlets.
